As I have mentioned before I am aiming this year at giving you one new Christmas themed / festive look each day in December all the way until the 25th. It's like my own little Christmas Calendar for you guys.

... and when we first are talking about Christmas Calendars I wanted to tell you quickly that some of these products that I will be showing you here on the blog will be coming from the Christmas Calendar from last years Ciate Advent Calendar. I will attach a tag to this post if you are interested in seeing all the different designs only using the Ciate Advent Calendar. This will give you an idea as to how it can be used. I picked mine up at a sale at Tk Maxx and heard of several others who have done the same, so I will do my best to not have any spoilers as to what it contains, but I can't promise anything. I might get carried away.
I think the Advent Calendar was highly overpriced at 50£ considering the quality of the content. It is more worth the 20£ that TK Maxx was asking for it.
Today I have polish that was behind door nr.3 and a glitter polish that was behind door nr.2. So no spoilers today.
The whole look took 2 coats of Ciate - Chincilla, which might be a dupe with China Glaze - Pelican Gray, and 1 coat of Ciate - Glitterball. While Ciate - Chincilla was a bit tricky, Ciate - Glitterball behaved like glitter polishes should act. Smooth application, in one easy stroke. Giving that little lift to an otherwise boring shade of grey.

I received this product of my own choosing, free of charge for my honest, non-bias review from the Born Pretty Store.
This design is so cute! I got chinchilla from day 1, and a polish called blizzard from day 3, so maybe each calendar is slightly different. :)
ReplyDeleteHow interesting.
DeleteI got a product called: Miss Mistletoe as my first, then Glitterball, before Chinchilla...
Sounds like they might be a bit different.
I am curious as to what you are getting next.. maybe you will get the 3 polishes that it says on the back that it contains, that I didn't get in mine.
I'll keep an eye out on your blog to compare.
That blue gray is just perfect for your backdrop! Love it! <3
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteI just get so sick and tired of everything being red and green you know :D
And you say you don't know how to decorate over glitter. PSH!
ReplyDeleteFunny enough, this was actually a design suggestion from my "Guest-Nails" person Sam. The placement of the snowflakes was my doing, but she suggested snowflakes and the polishes to use. Haha.
DeleteMaybe I should pick her brain more often on this subject. :P
(all the others have been all me)
Love the colors! They remind me of a snowstorm!
ReplyDeleteIt does, right?
DeleteSo glad that you can see my vision.
I love those decals, I got them, too, and used them for a similar mani!
ReplyDeleteI have done two looks with these decals, and love them so so much. Gorgeous snowflakes really.
DeleteThese are lovely! The glitter is a really nice touch!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I have been trying to incorporate more glitters to my nail art looks lately
