Christmas Effects


My last Christmas polish effect was both disappointing and boring and these are not words I think you should use when describing Christmas anything. My second attempt is so much better. Think exciting, colourful and joyous. This OPI nail polish is so decorative, you could just stick it on the tree like this.  
If you would like to duplicate the effect, I used Napoleon 'Ritzy' (red) on the all the nails but OPI Nicole 'Give me the first dance' (silver) on the ring fingers. Then OPI 'Rainbow Connection' on the tips expect for the ring fingers that were completely covered. Finished off with Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Anti-chip Top coat.
I am going to casually point at things all day just so people can see my nails and ohh and ahh over them. See how casually I am pointing at my equally sparkly iPhone. So casual, yet so cool. I am off to the gym now to point at some weights.

Avoiding Christmas Shopping

I should be busy trying to catch up on all my Christmas shopping and wrapping but I am excited because I have a tripod and remote for my camera. Dorky I know. I was sitting here twiddling my thumbs wondering what to take a photos of. Looking at my twiddling thumbs I noticed they needed a manicure. Bingo! The results were a lame Christmas inspired french polish and I could have taken the photo without the remote. I used Sally Hansen Cafe Au Lait (the best nude colour) and Bloom Aspen.

I also found a hair donut and decided to attempt an updo. I have never used one before and I think it would be a lot easier if I my hair was a little thicker.

 I let my daughter play with my camera too. I love this photo she took of herself. Isn't she cute.
After putting it off all morning I headed out to North Lakes, again.  I still wasn't able to get all my shopping done, but I had fun with my six year old playing with all the testers in Target. We also tried out the new Sushi bar, it's located between Dymocks and Dan Murphy's. It was good and the service was fast. I could have sat for hours watching the hypnotic food go round and round.
