12 Days of Christmas Nail Art Challenge #12 - Santa

That's all folks!  Day #12 Santa...

First, I want to thank Kristine and Lorene for hosting this challenge, and for allowing me to join in.  I had a lot of fun with it.  You should check out their blogs:

Kristine: Pink and Polished Nails
Lorene: Over Polished

I also want to thank everyone for the positive comments, those have boosted my confidence in trying more nail art a bunch. 

I told you in my post yesterday that I cheated and did elves and Santa together so you've already seen these nails.

Because of this challenge I will venture more into nail art.  I have ordered striping tape and the Bundle Monster 2012 stamps. You'll see more I promise...

12 Days of Christmas Nail Art Challenge #11 - Tinsel

And then there was 1...

Today is #11, Tinsel.

You know I didn't even know what tinsel was until I Googled it.

I've always known it as garland...

I know this is a nail art challenge, and when you see today's mani, I didn't put a lot of art into it.  But I think I got the tinsel on a Christmas tree down...

The pics dark, because my phone is messed up and no matter how much light and flash I use it sucks. 

I am wearing:

Finger Paints Avant Garde Green
Lac-Attack Forever Rydell
Zoya Electra

To me they look like a decorated Christmas tree with silver tinsel

I have gotten lots of comments about how festive it looked.

12 Days of Christmas Nail Art Challenge #10 - Elves

#10 Elves.....

Man only 2 days until Christmas, I hope everyone has a great day today and gets everything they hoped for.  Me, I have to work tomorrow.  But anyway, I have to say this is going to be a great Christmas, regardless of the gifts I get.  I have been a little under the weather this weekend, and been thinking.  I have already gotten a pretty amazing gift.  I'm going to get a little sappy here....


Al of my new friends, have made me one of the happiest people around.  All of you are so positive and supportive.  From bottom of my heart, all of you have given me your friendship, and that means so much to me. 

Today, 7 years ago I found out that my best friend had stage 4 cancer, and would be staying at a cancer treatment hospital about 400 miles away.  That was the last time I talked to him, he had surgery and was in a chemical induced coma until 2/14/2006.  He passed away the day before I was going to get to visit him.  I don't think I ever got to tell my friend how much his friendship meant to me. 

So I tell you all...  Thank you for your friendship.  I would mention each of you but I don't want to forget any of you.

I hope you all have an amazing Christmas. 

Now on to the nails...

I know these are kind of bad...  they are my elf nails and my Santa nails, so these will be posted for Tuesday as well.  Im cheating a little... 

12 Days of Christmas Nail Art Challenge #9 - Wreath

Mani #9.

Sorry its so late.  Wreath.  Now I was at a loss for this one.  I have no wreath stamp on my stamp discs.  So I free handed this... I have really enjoyed doing this challenge,  and look forward to more nail art because of it. 

Fell free to laugh if you want, my mani is nothing compared to some of the others in this challenge. 

Sorry for the bad pics, my iphone is messing up....

Only 3 manis left.....

12 Days of Christmas Nail Art Challenge #8 - Ornaments

Wow!  Only 4 manis left in this challenge. 

I'm not going to lie, I was at a loss for what to do with this mani.  I just couldn't think of what to do. The last few manis in this challenge are all pretty hard.  Stars are ornaments to right?  On to the mani.....

I kind of obsessed with stamping....
