I told you guys that I had gone home to New York for Christmas. So I am just now able to post my holiday manis. I know it's 2012-deal with it!
Anyway, today I am showing you my drive home for the holidays, pre-Christmas mani. I finally caved and bought new China Glaze colors. Today we will be viewing them for the first time!
Here is your required silly bottle shot.
This is China Glaze Holly-Day and Winter Berry. I will also be using my Sally Hansen Whirlwind White for the first time for stamping. We shall see how it does.
Since this was a pre holiday mani, I decided to alternate the green and red on my nails. Thought it was uber festive. Here are your shots. Of course, once again I had no sun for you.

I am loving these two colors! You know how I love green and this was worth buying. The red is a berry jelly and these two are just perfect for Christmas. I then used the Whirlwind White and stamped with Shany SH17 and topped it off with a white snowy funky french. Here are the results.

Remember how I told you there was no sun? Then how did I get a sun shot you ask? I took it at a random Rest Stop on I-81 driving home to NY! People were looking at me funny!! Of course, that's nothing new!!
I now have a new white for stamping!! My problem with Konad special white was it always smeared no matter what I did. This did not! I also used my new stamping technique and can see that my designs are coming out much crisper!
So there you have it. My Pre-Christmas/Drive Home for the Holiday mani. I just love snowflakes so this is perfect for me.
What do you think?
