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.

China Glaze Frostbite, silver snowflakes

























I apologize for not doing a clean-up before taking pictures. I've been battling some health issues that have gotten progressively worse this last month that have put me in deep depression. I wore CC Wild and Willing all last week, and could not muster up motivation to break out my Fauxnad or Konad plates.
It was an effort to choose the color for this mani. To make things simpler for me I went with something to match my mood- Blue.
I'll be feeling much better after I pick-up a prescription later in the day, and will more than likely change this mani tonight or tomorrow.
Base- China Glaze Frostbite- 3 coats
Silver snowflakes are crafting  rub-ons from Michael's
