Are you excited? Christmas is almost here!
My Christmas is very sedate this year. I'm going through some big changes, and am keeping things simple. But, I'm keeping some of my basics--making chocolate for family and friends, planning a nice Christmas Eve dinner and Christmas morning breakfast. Even with that, I'm still behind and have a lot to catch up on tomorrow.
But you can bet I'll be doing it all with preeeetty nails. :)
Today's manicure is one I just love. A little while back I was walking through my Ulta and saw a display of Layla Ceramic Effects and Softouch Effect beauties. I don't know how it happened, but several of them jumped into my bag when I wasn't looking. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.
One of them was CE53, which, as far as I can tell, is the only name for the polish; it's a beautiful red-based flakie with orange and gold flakes, and I used it as a base for this manicure. On top of it I stamped using Barry M Gold Foil and Cheeky Gals plate GA33 (I'll be reviewing these plates soon). I added a few studs to pull it all together, and here's what I ended up with:

I love the big, bold flakes in this polish, and I love the filigree image--it kinda reminds me of what the front of Santa's sleigh might look like. Regardless, I think this has style and elegance, with a little bling to make it extra-special. Hope you like it, too.
Back to making chocolate...
Thanks for taking a look!
