Christmas nails, 8th of December

8th of December - we are now one third into my Christmas calendar of manicures. I can't believe how fast time flies!

Today's manicure didn't quite turn out the way I imagined. But like I've said before: I also post my failed attempts here. It is a learning curve after all!

Anyway, I went for deep purple and glitter. The white blops by the base of my nails are supposed to look like stars. My striper brush was a bit too thick though so I painted glitter over them to help them look more like stars. That didn't help at all, haha.

Here they are:

 
The deep purple is from Bourjois and is called "Bleu Violet". I used two coats as the base.

The glitter is "Southern Lights" from Models Own.

The white is a striping polish from Maybelline. I thinned the brush in the striper down to half after this.

 

I like the idea of this way more than I liked the outcome. But oh well, you can't win them all, now can you?

 

 
Here are all the polishes I used today.

Bourjois Bleu Violet, Models Own Southern Lights, Maybelline White Stripes

 

I think I'm going to redo these nails later, maybe with another base colour. I really want this manicure to work.
