December Nailart Contest

So @Cdbnails143 did a November and December nail art contest on instagram. I entered both. I didn't win but I do think my stuff is getting better so maybe by next year I will be doing well enough to get into finals at least. : )

The first prompt was Favorite Christmas Carol or Song:

I chose FM Static Snow Miser which is a Christian rock band that redid the song from one of the old Christmas cartoons that they still play every year. Click here to see the video. The video is from the cartoon and then the music picks up from FM Static.

I loved the icicles on these but the other two nails I kind of wish I had just done more icicles. I used China Glaze Frostbite for the base and then a coat of Fairy Dust. Then I did one coat of White on White to do the icicles and other white stuff. To finish up I put some of China Glaze There's Snow Body Like You for some texture. ( I still love that polish. I know so many people hated it but I thought it was great.)

The second prompt was Favorite Christmas Movie:

I really like all the old Christmas cartoons. I remember watching them every year when I was little with my parents. Since I'd just done a swatch of Pop Culture Cosmetics Frosty, I decided to add a Frosty the Snowman and use that. I am still so proud of this mani. My frosty turned out so well.

The third prompt was Ugly Sweater: ( they didn't have to be ugly though)

 I was pretty happy with these too. I did Silver with some red and green Sinful Colors glitter and then just did some white patterns on the "sweater" part.

The last prompt was just anything Christmas or Winter:

I'd just done a swatch of Pop Culture Cosmetics Silent Night so I decided to use that as my base (It's gorgeous) and I added some snowflakes.
