PURPLE
CRUMPET FAIRY CHALLENGE – The 31 Days of Christmas
Day 7 –
Candy Cane
Hi
Goddesses
Hope you
are well. I am sleepier than a sleepy
thing just before hibernation – must be all the dark, cold weather bbbrrrrrrr.
I cannot
decide whether I love this or whether it is an EPIC FAIL lol. I went a bit wrong, cos it’s not stripey … er … ok, let’s break it down, yo.
The colours
are …
·
SH White On
·
Color Club Cadillac Red (a truly fabulous red)
·
My trusty CG Starboard, perfect for sooooo many
manis.
Green
? Green ?? well yes, this is possibly where I started to
go wrong. I did some Googling and saw
all the red and white striped candy canes, and quite a lot of them had green
bows and stuff for Christmas, soooooo my plan was going to be a red, white and
green stripe. However, laziness of the
HIGHEST degree set in and I thought (mistakenly) ooooh I’ll do a swirly
lollipop thing.
mmmmmmm. Great idea Batgirl. So one base coat of my white later, I did a
thick stripe of red, white and green and swirled it together with my cocktail
stick.
Things to
be noted –
·
Yes, I did “accidentally” put a river of green on my
thumb and it went ev-er-y-where, but look! look how pretty and swirly it
got! Lol.
·
Yes I did then have to plop another load of red on
the nail just to balance it out, but y’know, improv y’all
·
Yes it reminds me of the Italian flag as well, but
we don’t need to go *there*, do we
·
You have to admit, the index finger IS pretty
awesome
·
No, they don’t REALLY look like lollipops, or candy
canes, but it’s Christmas …. And er, this looks NOTHING like what it’s supposed
to
·
HOWEVER you WILL all be thanking me when it’s flag
week on some crazy challenge somewhere and you want to do something *fierce* for
your accent nail
Harrumph. I
was sooooo confident Day 7 was going to be an “easy” day, but you know me,
always willing to pluck disaster from the jaws of victory lol.
I am now
off to finalise my 3rd attempt at snowflakes ….. who the hell picked
a theme that required delicacy??!!! Psh!
Enjoy xx J

Top Tip – if you’re
ever unsure what a nail colour looks like, go to Google images, which will give
you plenty of contrasts and compares.
