Nails: String Lights

I've seen a lot of nails like this, so I take no credit for the idea!

Nail Polish: Battle of the Black

Not sure this introduction is really needed but I am doing a series of posts to find out which polishes are the best in my 'collection' as of 2012. This as the title suggests is BATTLE OF THE BLACK, I am actually suprised at how few black polishes I have.

Models Own - Black / Red, OPI - Obscurity  No 7 - Beautifully Black, Barry M - Black Multi Glitter, W7 - Black, ELF - Black

 .

I really struggled to choose my favourite polish from the bunch. The Barry M is really nice, good formula and has a stunning holo packed in there. Then we have W7 Black which is a really good coverage polish, as a bonus it is amazing for stamping as well as straight polishing. Which is why I am putting both through in to the next round.


Sat-ART-Day Challenge: Mayans

12.21.12 is the date for the end of the Mayan calender. Now whether this is to be the end of the world Apocalypse style remains to be seen, especially as this is a scheduled post. 

However 21st December is winter solstice, in the Northern hemisphere, so is the end of my mini mani month calender! Let's celebrate the shortest day of the year and cheer to the longer warmer days that shall now come! Unless of course the Mayans were right and didn't run out of room to continue the calender...

Winter Holiday Challenge: Reindeer and Sleigh

Merry Yule!

On to the nails, the challenge for today was Santa's sleigh and his reindeer. Trying to get nine reindeer on four nails was really difficult!
