At Christmas time, we let in light and we banish shade

Hi Everyone,

Somehow these lyrics from the Band Aid song came to mind. As most of you know I do not like Christmas anymore cause my mom died on Christmas, but I'll try to make the best of it make new fun memories. I know a lot of people all over the world have a hard time during Christmas.

I thought let's show a fun happy Christmas scene today with Santa, a snowmen, reindeer and a cute cabin by the frozen lake. You all know I like doing scenery nail art. Since a few days I entered the world called Instagram if you want to follow me you can @dianavnisselroy my phone is too old for IG but luckily we now have a tab so I could install it there. Feel free to comment with your IG name so I can follow you. It is all new to be and still have to get used to it. On IG there is this fun contest hosted by ChitChatNails, I wanted to join too I did like 3 designs and could not choose which I wanted to enter...always so insecure haha. But I decided to go with this one...even though I like my birds mani and 3D Rudolph (still have to post that one).

Snowflakes and reindeer are from Born Pretty BP-01, big trees are from Winstonia Store W222, small trees from HBNails HB33, house from Born Pretty QA19. snowman from MoYou London Christmas 01 and Santa is from XL plate L from Cheeky.

Snow globes :)

Hi Everyone :)

Today I'll show you my first winter nails :) Nail polish Canada invited me again to join their Holiday challenge, just like last year. I always feel honored when they invite me to join. And I love joining even though I am not eligible for the prizes (since I am not in the US or Canada). Maybe you are allowed to just give an US/Canada address, I don't know that. But just joining is already a lot of fun with or without prizes :) 

The theme of this first week is Snow you can see all the participants by clicking the snow link. So I decided to make snow globe nails hahaha. I saw some snow globes online and I wanted to make that on my nails. And since I am a stamping girl...it is all done with stamping :) 

It was hard to capture so my thumb is in an oblique angle. And it isn't all perfect and neat but I still like it :)

Basea beautiful blue holo polish... Jade Hypnose. Stamped with Bundle Monster BM320 and BM07 (peace signs) the snow globes and colored them with white blue and silver and a little glitter topcoat. Stamped the globe/bulb standard with Konad M19 (part of the french tip) first in white went over it with red. Used QA19 from Born Pretty Store for the reindeer, house, snowman and golden snowflakes on the standard. Winstonia W115 for the penguin. HB33 for the little Christmas trees. And dotted white snowflakes. I used Konad black, white, pastel blue, silver, brown, yellow, red, green, pastel orange and Essence A piece of forever for stamping (stamping decals), coloring and dotting.

And some swatches of this pretty blue holo polish.

You can still join the Nail polish Canada challenge and also vote for your favorite on their website.

I am already looking foward to next weeks theme, I always like these challenges.

Thank you for reading :)

Have a nice weekend!
