#xmasnorules - SANTA CLAUS !!

This is the final manicure in the No Rules Christmas Mani Challenge .  Santa Claus to me is red & white and because of my very short nails I had very few options, not a lot of space for nail art. The Santa hat didn't turn out too bad.

I used Sally Hansen's White On, China Glaze's Angel Wings, Wet n' Wild Fergie in Glamorous and Sinful Color's Sugar Sugar.

Best wishes for a joyous and safe holiday season.

#xmasnorules - GIFT !!

Gift can be interpreted many different ways; I took it as a present, so I went with my fav colours to wrap a gift in...blue and silver.  Oh and glitter.

I used one of this years fav for me... Zoya's Dream.  I also used Kiss me at Midnight by OPI, Revlon's Silver Dollar and China Glaze's Nova & Fairy Dust.

Next up and the final manicure of the challenge is Santa Claus.

#xmasnorules - CANDY CANE !!

YAY... candy canes!!  My fav candy canes are fruit flavoured, but I wouldn't turn my nose up at any flavour :)

I made my own red and green nail polish stripes...while it is easy to do, it is time consuming!  I did the same technique in another challenge in October, here!  I use Sally Hansen's White Out, Indie Polish in Frog Prince and China Glaze's With Love & Fairy Dust.

Next up is a Gift!!  Hopefully the nubbins will grow a bit more.

#xmasnorules - GINGERBREAD MEN !!

When I was a little girl I remember going to the bakery for gingerbread men.  They were so beautifully decorated I almost hated to eat them, almost :)  I haven't had one in years and it seems all the local bakeries are long gone...might be a fun project this Christmas!

I used Color Club's Berry & Bright and OPI's A-Taupe the Space Needle & My Vampire is Buff.

Next up Christmas Tree.

China Glaze's Put a Bow On It !!

Put a Bow On It is part of this year's Happy HoliGlaze Collection.  It is a Fuchsia/Purple dense micro glitter.  I achieved opacity with 3 coats, but could have gotten away with 2.  This is such a pretty glitter and is not specifically a holiday polish, so it can be used all through the year ;)

China Glaze has to be one of the best at making micro glitters!

#xmasnorules - SNOW !!

While I am a self-admitted fair weather girl...snow is a reality in Canada!  I chose blue and white as my colours.  I used Essie's Midnight Cami and Sally Hansen's White On.

Next up is Christmas Lights!!

China Glaze Glitters for the Holidays !!!

I have been on the hunt for more Christmas-ish polishes.  Here are a couple of glitters from China Glaze that I have recently picked up!

First up is Love Marilyn...although it is not actually from a holiday collection, it is from the 2011 Eye Candy Collection.  It is a stunning mixture of small red micro glitter and bigger silver glitter.  I achieved opacity with 3 coats!  Not much to say but OMG!

Pure Joy is from last year's Holiday Joy Collection.  It has the same consistency and glitter combination as Love Marilyn, just gold instead of silver.  Again...Love!

I was happy to get my hands on these glitters and there might be a 'couple' more on their way.
