The One With the Christmas Snowman Manicure
9:00:00 AMGood morning polished world! How are you all doing on this wonderful Saturday? I'm never leaving my bed, especially since the temperature has dropped down. My fleece sheets went on a few weeks ago and my bed is this cozy, warm, comfy cocoon which is truly difficult to leave every day. Now that it's Saturday and I don't have to work, I don't see why I should have to leave. Well, maybe to be a productive adult, but eh.
Today's design is one I've done every year now for a few years, but I put a Christmas spin on it. I purchased a snowman sweater dress to wear to the ugly sweater party at work earlier this week, so it was only fitting that I matched my nails to the dress. Usually I do this snowman manicure on a blue base and give the guy a neutral colored scarf and call it a winter design paired with the snowflakes. Since I vowed to do only Christmas designs, I went with a red and green theme.
Let's take a look!
Colors Used:
- Zoya - Merida
- Zoya - Alicia
- Zoya - Blaze
- Acrylics
Oh Zoya, I love your scattered holos. Please, oh please, give your polishes a wider brush!! I can't be the only one who hates the thin brushes. Companies like ORLY, OPI, and Sally Hansen have spoiled me with these wider brushes. Few swipes and I have one coat. I find with the narrower thin brushes I end up flooding my cuticles. Maybe it's just me....
Anyways, these polishes are all gorgeous. Two coats for each and you have sparkly, scattered holo goodness. I think when Zoya has their annual New Years BOGO sale, I might stock up on my favorites. That way I can use them more often without feeling like I'm going to run out. Part of me feels like I have a back up of a few but still don't use them. Probably should clean my melmers and check.
What do you think? Like this little snowman? Fan of Zoya's scattered holos?
Until next time, <3.
