Glitterama swirls, edit**added 2 pics & details










 Early morning sun does not capture the sparkle of this mani. First picture is the best of the bunch. Click it to make it gigantic!
Hopefully, I can snatch a few minutes at work today to get some afternoon pics.
Anyway, this mani is for a holiday dinner I am attending with Jim on Monday.
I *really* hope it lasts through the weekend without too much damage or tipwear!

Details;
Base- China Glaze Millennium 1 coat
Overlay- Funky Fingers Wonderland- 3 coats
1 coat Seche
Konad plate- M63- the ever popular swirl pattern
Konad Special Polish Wine Red to stamp.
I *Love* how cool this mani turned out! It doesn't look like a stamped or decaled nail. It looks like a patterned foil. Konad Wine Red is a Jelly, so the base sparkle shows as flashy as the silver!
1 coat Seche

*edit...Sorry guys. In my zeal to get something up before I left for work, I forgot some details.
I double stamped the swirl image twice on my nails and then some. I still had 1/4" to fill at the tips of thumb, index, middle and ring. I also stamped the image horizontal on those nails as well...with the exception of my thumbs(not pictured). Those I stamped four times. They are so horrendously w i d e,  a horizontal stamp couldn't fill the space. My pinky is the only nail to which I could use the stamp longways also double stamped.

The Funky Fingers trio, Wonderland, Under Mistletoe and Yule Love It, were purchased for 3 @ $5.00 at my Five Below Store. The dry time was lightening fast! 
I'd bet a year's salary that these Funky Fingers are one and the same Color Club Wonderland set. The names are even the identical.

Bling on the Holidays!








Funky Fingers Bottle Love! L to R; Yule Love It, Under Mistletoe, Wonderland

















Aren't these Funky Fingers polishes gorgeous? I picked them up 3 for $5 at my local 5 Below store.They're all Jellies with a ton of glitter.... very foil-y looking, making them super bling-y. Funky Fingers are made by Forsythe, the same company that makes Color Club.

I had my fauxnad and Konad plates all picked out for this mani, but given the positive feedback on my last rub-on mani, I decided to go with those instead. Let's face it, plate can get expensive, and really- how many times will a Holiday plate be used?

Mani is 2 coats of Under Mistletoe
Candy canes and holly are rub-ons from Michael's
2 coats Seche topcoat
I *love* how festive this mani turned out! The only thing that could make this better would be the addition of some red rhinestones or jewels for the holly berries, but my picking habit would not allow it- it would be ruined within minutes.
Remember- click pictures to make them bigger!
