Merritt's Toes and Funky Fingers Anna, inspired by Frozen

I did get around to painting my new baby's toes.  I used Sinful Colors Soul Mate and a rapid dry top coat right before we went to a family event.  I painted them while she was awake and I wouldn't recommend it because there was a LOT of clean up to get them looking like this.

Next, a polish friend mentioned that there were three Funky Fingers nail polishes based off of Frozen characters so I headed over to Five Below today and bought about 10 Funky Fingers polishes including Anna.

Anna is a glitter topper in a clear base with white snowflake glitters, white hex glitters of a few sizes, white micro glitter, metallic purple hex glitters, metallic fuchsia hex glitters, and matte grey hex glitters.

I decided that my undercoat polish would be essence colour and go breakthrough a fuchsia with purple leanings.

Here is my manicure with Anna and breakthrough in full sun:

There are two other Frozen inspired polishes I'll be posting up soon so check back in a few.

Swirling Snow Nails

I have been wanting to do winter nails but the only designs I keep seeing involve snowflakes and/or dots.  Since we just receieved several inches of the white stuff in Denver (not to mention single digit temperatures) I have been toying with the idea of swirling snow patterns on my nails.  Here is what I came up with...

Polishes Used:

Sinful Colors Midnight Blue

Sinful Colors Snow Me White

Sinful Colors Queen of Beauty glitter

Sinful Colors Hottie glitter

KleanColors Chunky Silver glitter

After applying a clear basecoat, I applied one coat of Midnight Blue to each nail.  I then poured out some Snow Me White polish and dabbed a small nail art brush into it, blotting away the excess on a paper towel.  I then started making swirly patterns on each nail using the brush almost like a tiny sponge blotting on dabs of white polish.  I then cleaned and used the same brush to place large pieces of Chunky Silver glitter throughout each swirl.   I also painted over the swirl with the much smaller Queen of Beauty silver glitter.  The nails still needed something so I pulled out Hottie a blue and irredescent glitter and applied over each nail.  Last, I applied a clear topcoat.

Overall, I think these nails were exactly what I was looking for to break the monotony of winter nails.  Plus, I can't convey how much I love glitter polish.  These Swirly Snow nails are a hit!
