What's On My Nails This Week ? (2)

My nails have been in dire need of a refill for awhile now, but I knew I wasn't getting in to the salon any time till aftedr Christmas, so I decided to do some nail art, and use my polish to hide the fact that my acrylics are so badly grown out lol. 

So this is what I did. 



Its my version of a winter theme. I was going to do something Christmas related, but I figured this would blend in better than flashy Christmas art.

Do you like it ? 

Here's the products I used...

As always, basecoat first, then 2 layers of the dark blue polish by Pure Ice (which is shade "French Kiss"), but I only put it on 4 fingers on each hand, and left one bare to use as an accent nail. Index finger on my left hand, and "ring" finger on my right hand. Then, on the accent fingers, I used 2 coats of the lighter blue polish by Pure Ice (which is called "Bikini"). 

Once those dried, I used a stripper brush with a white polish to freehand 2 snowflakes on each accent nail. The using a small dotting tool and more white polish, I placed randomly placed and sized dots to represent falling snow around the 2 big snowflakes. 

Finish off with one or two layers of glossy top coat, and voila ! Done. 

I'll admit, it was strange to me to have a manicure with no glitter or  shimmer, but I think it still came out pretty nice.
