Twinsie Tuesday: Chanukah Inspired Mani

Hi friends! Today's Twinsie Tuesday theme is "Chanukah Inspired Mani".  I have to admit, I was intimidated by this week's challenge. My Chanukah knowledge is admittedly very small, and I was afraid of doing it "wrong".  I relied on Google Image search to inspire me. I hope my Chanukah celebrating friends approve!

 

Here are the polishes I used:

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:

Sation Nail Polish (Swatches): Rock-a-guy Blue, Power To The Purple, & Oh My Oceania!

I have some beautiful Sation polishes to show you today! I won these from a giveaway held by one of my favorite blogs,  Of Life and Lacquer.

First up is "Rock-a-guy Blue", a deep, inky blue creme polish:
(2 layers)

Then there's this amazing grape purple- "Power To The Purple".  There's a soft golden shimmer in this one that makes it very special:

(3 layers)

Lastly, my favorite- "Oh My Oceania!", a turquoise-teal-shimmer masterpiece of a polish. I was speculating as to whether or not this was a 'dupe' for Rescue Beauty Lounge "Aqua Lily". A quick Google search yielded this comparison by The Nail Network.  No, they aren't twins, but they definitely look like siblings. With the price difference being so drastic (RBL's go for $20; this Sation, a very reasonable $5) I am more than satisfied with this beauty:

(3 layers)

Aren't these so pretty????!  They are available on Miss Professional Nail's website here. 

Thanks Cynthia, for this fabulous prize!!
