Let It Snow Nail Art Challenge: Inspired By Holiday Song

Hey there! I'm on theme #2 of the "Let It Snow" Nail Art Challenge that I'm participating in with the lovely gals of the Nail Challenge Collaborative!

This theme is "Inspired by a holiday movie/song/carol".  I had Elvis' " Blue Christmas" playing through my brain on auto repeat this week, so I naturally had to go with that for my nails!

 I'll have a blue Christmas without you

I'll be so blue just thinking about you

Decorations of red, on a green Christmas tree (ring finger)

Won't be the same dear, if you're not here with me

And when those blue snowflakes start falling (pointer & pinky finger)

That's when those blue memories start calling

You'll be doing alright with your Christmas of white (middle finger)

But I'll have a blue, blue blue blue Christmas....

Here are the polishes I used:

And don't forget to check out the other talented chicks doing the challenge with me:

Julep Maven- November Nail Polish Box (Boho Glam)

Here are the contents of Julep's November Maven box. Mine is the "Boho Glam" style:

Inside this month's box, there were some great things: 2 'suede finish' polishes in the colors "Nora" and "Amber"; a large tub of Julep Pink Grapefruit Body Frosting; and 3 nail polish remover pads.

First, we need to discuss the Pink Grapefruit Body Frosting- THIS IS AWESOME! The fragrance and texture are absolutely heavenly. It truly has that 'whipped' consistency, and glides into the skin effortlessly, without making it feel greasy.  Also, as I may have noted before- if you name something after food, I am all up in that:

Onto the polishes!  First, here's "Nora", a charcoal polish with silver flecks that dries to a suede (matte) finish.  2 layers:

 And here's 'Nora' all shiny with topcoat:

Next is "Amber", a warm taupe suede. 2 layers:

 And, with topcoat (I think this is my favorite):

Also included were a few of the Julep Nail Polish Remover Pads, and they work really well.  The pad itself is thick and sturdy similar to a felt material.  I was able to remove all 10 nails with just a single pad!
