Happy Monday everyone! How is everyone doing? I hope you all had wonderful weekends. Mine was really good. I had dinner with friends, saw a Broadway show, and went to a blogger meet up. It was a super fun weekend!!





The blogger meetup had a mani theme of snow & ice. If you follow me on Instagram you saw a sneak peek of these in the group shot. It took me way too long to do these stupid nails and after I was done it occurred to me that there was an easier way to get the base, but whats done was done.





I started off with a base of Color Club In De-Nile. This was a gift from the lovely Frosso . It's the perfect pale baby blue creme. I'm wearing two easy coats for full coverage.









I then went in with Charme Whitehall for a snowy effect. (It occurred to me later that I could have used KBShimmer Snow Way for a similar look minus a step.) Ah well. One coat of Whitehall with some minor placing gave me this look!





I then used acrylic paints and a cut down striping brush to paint on some icicles following this tutorial . The girls at the meetup told me depending on how you view them they could be icicles or snowy pine trees. Either works for me. :-)





I feel like I'm getting better at free handing designs, but I really need to keep practicing. It's hard to paint things that little. :-/





What do you think...icicles or snowy pine trees?





Enjoy & until next time, Amy Lee
