12 Days of Christmas Challenge Day One: Red

Hello dearies! Well, it's December 1st! Can you believe it? Today kicks off my 12 Days of Christmas nail art challenge with the first theme "red."


I'm really excited that a bunch of people are going to be participating in this with me! I've even seen some others who had their posts up before mine! So far, here are the other bloggers who have mentioned to me that they will be participating in this challenge:

XOXOAlexisLeigh
Purple Castle
It's All About the Polish
A Ginger's Nail
Robyn Loves Nails
The Polished Momy
Teen Polish Junkie

I know there are more people participating, but these are the posts I've seen so far! If you've got a post, link it in the comments and I'll get it added!


I started with two thin coats of one of my favorite red cremes, Zoya "Sooki." On top of that, I dabbed on a gradient of OPI "Goldeneye" starting at my tips.


 I wanted to do something festive looking, but I didn't want o go all out with my art just quite yet. My family actually has a tradition that we can't start anything Christmas related until after my younger brother's birthday, which is on the 6th. ;D


I still can't get over hoe much I love this polish. It seems so awesome to me that a polish composed of tiny flakes like this can so easily become opaque.


Annnd one last one with a clear ornament ball!
