Winters Breath

Another blog post on the same day!!  I know...a little to much perhaps but I had some extra time this morning and wanted to catch up a little bit.  I want to talk about the world of Indies I have dove head first into lately.  There are so many Indie polish companies to choose from and I wish that I could try them all, but lets be serious I like most of us am on a budget.  So for now I am trying a few smaller Indie companies.  The one I would like to show you today is one started by Jessica or b_Jessica_3 on Instagram.  Her company is brand spanking new and is called Drip Drop Nail Paint.  Jessica was one of the first girls to welcome me into the nail community and has been very sweet to me and encouraging to me and my beginner skills with nail art.  I just had to support her dream and try a couple polishes out.

Winters breath is the only polish I have done a manicure with yet from Drip Drop Nail Paint.  I really like this polish.  I love a frosty white for winter time!  I used a white undie and applied one coat of Winters breath over that.  I can not really even tell you what is in here to make it so wintery and icy looking.  I know there are flakies and maybe some shimmer as well.  I am excited to see what Jessica brings forward next as she learns more about testing polishes and hones her creative skills!  If you love a frosty white nail and are looking to try a new company Winters breath is a good polish in my opinion!  Happy polishing!!  xoxo Jaime

Christmas Challenge Holiday movie

Happy Tuesday friends!  Today in the challenge it is Holiday movie day!  Yay!  My husband and I are big holiday movie watchers.  We even watch all the animated movies and old claymation and we have not even been blessed with kids.  I can not pick a favorite at all.  They are all so different and bring a special memory of feeling of magic to the holiday season.  I wish I had not waited until the last minute to do this day because I can think of a few movies I would like to take on as a manicure.  I really enjoy old movies the best.  Things were different then and the kind spirits of people really shine through.  One movie we never go without watching is White Christmas.  It is full of Christmas spirit, caring for others and some love in bloom as well.  Lots of dancing and music as well.  I went with another simple manicure because I wanted to wear some beautiful white nails.  This picture does not do it justice.  There is lots of glare.  I apologize.

The polishes used are all Sinful colors.  I have been neglecting them lately.  I still believe you can created beautiful manicures with inexpensive polishes!  The base I started with is snow me white.  It is a nice white but I am now around half way through the bottle and it is a tad thick now.  I hope I can thin it because it is such a bright white.  I layered silver belle over that.  Silver belle was released with the Sinful colors holiday display this year.  It is the polish pictured.  It has a pearly sheer white finish to it with lots of little silver glitters.  I would like to try this over blue as well.  The accent nail is Heavy metal.  It is a shiny shiny silver that goes on super easy with a foiled finish.  I added a little snowflake glitter after two failed attempts at a freehand snowflake.  I just could not get the strokes small enough to have room to add in detail.  So third time repainting the accent nail I went a new route!
