Merry (almost) Christmas!

photo4Merry (almost) Christmas! This will be my last post before New Years.

I have officially been defeated by Christmas jumpers. I wanted to buy one for the first time this year and was totally overwhelmed by the selection and not being able to find the kind I wanted, and then my grand plans for Christmas jumper nails were crushed when, after an intensely stressful day of packing and finalising things for the year, my inspiration was lost and I just couldn’t get them how I wanted them. But I LOVE my Christmas lights. I’m disappointed that the photo doesn’t show how glittery they are – this is one of the only times of year I like to have glittery nails – but trust me, they are sparkle-central.

I’m all ready for my work Christmas lunch today with my nails done and my green dress on, so finally feeling a bit Christmassy. It’s been a busy year and I am really looking forward to taking these nails to Ireland for the first time tomorrow morning!

Have a great Christmas everyone and I’ll see you before New Years for some party nails to ring in 2013!

Lolly’s Christmas nails

photo-4My bid to spread Christmas cheer has begun! I was attempting to con my friend into loving Christmas like I do. I got as far as doing her nails, we didn’t quite get to the point where I revealed by extremely amazing Christmas playlist with 45 of the most incredible holiday themed songs of all time. I think we might have to ease into that…

I decided a bit of mix ‘n’ match Christmassy-goodness was in order, and I feel like it might’ve worked a little bit. Perhaps she’ll write a blog post about how I am enforcing the joys of Christmas on her? Let’s all watch out for that shall we? You can read about her hilarious escapades here: http://lollyjones.blogspot.co.uk I promise you that you will laugh and laugh until your sides hurt.

Ok people, T-minus 3 days until I endeavor on my Christmas jumper themed nails! I already have so many ideas for designs floating around in my head I’m starting to feel a bit overwhelmed, but I have a good feeling about it. See you all on Thursday! xx

Christmas spirit is in the air. I am finally starting to feel like it’s the holiday season, as work draws to a close, the final Christmas presents are purchased and wrapped, and my body starts to sob with exhaustion, begging me to stop making plans to catch up with everyone before the end of the year. Ah, the holidays. I love it. So many Christmas parties and social gatherings, it’s the most wonderful time of the year. Also, presents.

For all those parties and gatherings, it is imperative to have Christmas nails. This year I am planning on having 2 different designs over the course of the weeks leading up to the big day. I’d rather have a couple more but knowing what little free time is available I decided not to set the bar too high.

I did these last night after work, just in time for work party #1 this evening. Christmas baubles! This is my “let’s keep it simple it’s already half 10 and I don’t want to be up until 1am” nails. Side note, I WAS up until 1am, which is the reason I am currently drinking my 4th cup of coffee this morning.

So, my “simple” design didn’t really stay that simple, but I got some great brushes on ebay that I wanted to try out, they are super fine and they made the small details on my Christmas bauble design really easy to do.

I am gearing up to do a very overly complicated and intricate Christmas jumper design next week for work party #2 and my big Christmas trip to Ireland, so stay tuned for that!
