12 Days of Christmas Challenge Day 5

It's day 5 of the challenge and today's prompt is "holiday movie". The Nightmare Before Christmas is a popular film in our house all year round, but even more so at Christmas  I love it. especially when I'm tucked under a blanket with a hot chocolate topped with whipped cream and marshmallows!!

So here are my Nightmare Before Christmas Nails....

The first picture was taken in natural light (It's dull at the minute!!) and the last two were taken with flash.

This mani was created using striping tape, dotting tools, cocktail sticks, brushes and a make up sponge. Polishes used were Barry M's black and pomegranate, No7's tip whitener, Avon's coral beat & sunshine were used for the gradient.

I hope you like them!!

Don't forget to check out everybody elses blogs to see which movie they chose!!

Spotty Dotty!

Another first!!
Love this mani, simple yet effective and the possibilities are endless given a little imagination!!
I started off simple for my first try just using a purple colour scheme but using both colours for base coats and dots (dark base, light dots every other nail and vice versa for remaining nails.)
I would tell you the polishes used but my avon polish (darker purple) has gone walkabouts since this mani!! If it resurfaces I will post details. The light shimmer purple is a no name purple glitter from claires.
I used a hair pin as a dotting tool but will be purchasing a proper one soon so I can do abit more experimenting!!
