Winter Nail Challenge: Traditions

A Christmas tradition would be wrapping paper, whether it be something sparkly and shiny or just an old Lush Times it is still a tradition. I wanted to do these nails as I really liked the version I did last year, wanted to update the design.

Base Polish: ELF - Fuchsia
Glitter Polish: Ciate - Magic Carpet

Pink Striping Tape

Nail Polish: Battle of Indie Polishes

Last year I didn't have a separate battle for the indie polishes, instead they were in with the holographic's or alternative glitters. I don't have the biggest collection on indie polishes, but these are the ones I have acquired this past year.

KPT - Color Therapy | Ninja - Girly Floam | Hare - Why So Igneous? | A England - Ascalon | A England - Sleeping Palace | A England  - Ophelia | A England - Jane Eyre

And the winner is:
Very difficult to chose here, as much as I really like Ophelia and Jane Eyre in general they look black on the nails, which I do like. However Sleeping Palace is going to win this battle because it is a charcoal lilac holographic which is visibly holographic even in standard lighting.

Stamping Plate: Bundle Monster 210 (BM210)

This stamping plate is from the second Bundle Monster set, from 2011. It is backed with branded lining to stop it from being sharp. This is a good thing because without it it is easy to slice open your fingers and palms. Then again I am very clumsy.

Four of these images are full nail ones, although depending on your nail size the bottom right image may be full nail as well. All of the images other than that one stamped fine, I had problems I think because the image has very delicate details. Using a lighter hand when scraping may help with this issue.
