Black and Silver New Year's Mani

Another super late post but I'm all caught up after this one :) 

I'm not a huge fan of the crazy crowds on New Year's Eve and always opt for quieter evenings with friends and family instead.. but that didn't stop me from sporting some NYE appropriate nails!

These were pretty much inspired by Serene at Copy Cat Claws.. I loved her mani so much that I did something similar :)

This look started with a simple black base of OPI Black Onyx on all but my ring finger, which has a base of Gosh Silver.

Then using Essie Nothing Else Metals, No Place Like Chrome and Blue Rhapsody I stamped the fire works using BM-H14 although you really can't tell the difference between the three shades sadly.

Using the same Bundle Monster plate and Konad Black I stamped the Champagne bottle on my ring finger.  Everyone had a hard time figuring out what that image was until I told them what to look for though.. I feel like it's just too big for my tiny nail, plus I smeared it lol.

And to finish off I I added Color Club Platinum Record to my middle finger, topped it all off with Joe Fresh Matte Top Coat and went out to celebrate NYE with a handful of my aunts and uncles that live in the area :)

Happy New Year: Nail Edition

Happy New Year everyone!  I wish you all a wonderful 2012 :)

So.. I've been MIA, but only because I have been away from home since December 16th, and when I flew home for the holidays I was very limited in what I could bring.. My suitcase was .1kg away from the limit, lol.  I suck at packing!  I did bring some polish with me but I mostly just did plain ol' manis with nothing special at all and left them at that.

We rang in the New Year by flying back home and spending the evening with my in-laws playing cards and dominoes and watching the downtown festivities on TV since it was raining.  So while playing cards I painted my nails ;)

Essie: Feed Me

Orly: Purple Crush

Essie: Bobbing for Baubles

Color Club: Backstage Pass

Color Club: Platinum Record

Essie:  Good to Go

I like how 'blingy' this turned out.  I didn't go out for NYE but at least my nails looked like a party was happening on them, lol.  I can't stop staring at the gorgeous (but such a PITA) glitter.. I love it so much :)

Thanks for looking!
