Day 14 - Lazy Christmas Tree mani

PURPLE CRUMPET FAIRY CHALLENGE – The 31 Days of Christmas

Day 14 – Christmas Trees

Hi Goddesses

I hope you are all getting in the festive spirit.  I am still a little bit bah humbug but hopefully a week of hols next week (and a lot of Snowballs) will get me in the mood.

Christmas Trees was one of the manis I was really looking forward to, and I had sooooo many ideas, but do you know what happens when you statrt doing one of these challenges ?  you start looking for shortcuts!  It’s so time intensive that you look for ways to recycle manis or add a little bit more to your manis, and before you know it, you end up with this ….

This is SUCH a lazy excuse for a Christmas tree, but to be honest, I also couldn’t face using CG Starboard again either!  So this is my magnetic Ego Green, which I thought looked a little like branches, with some simple red and silver baubles.

How easy was that ?  I know, and I feel like SUCH a cheat, but hey, it’s MY challenge and if I want to cheat, I will J

Festive love xx J

Enjoy xx J

FASHIONISTA MAGNETISM – Ego Green

Hi Goddesses

Well bless my little thermal socks.  This is awesome!

My good friend Claire acquired 4 magnetic polishes for me in red, blue, green and … oooh can you guess …. purple.  They are by a new UK brand called Fashionista and are only £5 per bottle, which in magnetic terms is CHEAP AS CHIPS.

I wore the red the other day (here) and loved it.  What I didn’t get to tell you was how easily it came off.  I was worried it would be like a duochrome, with some sliding off and the rest sticking like glue, but it literally just glided off my nail.  Amazeballs.

I had low hopes for the green – as you know, green is one of my least fave nail colours – but it was a nice dark forest colour, and I thought it would be different.

Well – would you just LOOK at that.  How amazing is this ?  I cannot *believe* how much contrast the magnet creates, certainly more than the red, and waaaay more than the blue (I am starving myself of the purple; sometimes I love anticipation J).

This veers between a darkened electric mint green and a green so metallic it’s almost black.  Personally I LOVE that this is so extreme.  I put this on exactly the same as all the others, but feel I got 10 times the impact.  Maybe I just shook this one better, who knows lol.

Definite win.

Enjoy J xx
