Christmas Nails

Here it is Christmas Eve and I have time to post again. I am going to tell you about my Christmas nails. I got lots of complements on these two Christmas themed nails. Yes, I am going to post both Christmas nails in one post since tomorrow is Christmas. I have been having problems with my nails chipping and peeling, so I am using Kiss nails.
The first one is a polish by Julep from their December polishes called Scarlett. It is a shimmery red with a hint of a pink, and perfect as a Christmas polish. I used two coats of Scarlett by Julep. It was easy to use and lasted a whole week with minimum wear. The sun light picture looks more orange, but the shade picture shows the true red color.
For the second Christmas look I used two colors. The main color is Big Money Frost by New York Color. It is a shear frosted green that took three thin coats to get the color I wanted. Next I used Sugar Cookie by Pure Ice. Sugar Cookie is a glitter with both red and holo glitters. It took several coats to get it to look like this. It almost looks like the red glitter are tiny lights. I have received many complements from people wanting to know where I had them done. The pictures were taken after two days of work and wear.

Now for the pictures!!! Enjoy!

Furbies

The recent Furby upgrade and release got me thinking about the original Furbies. I remembered that my daughter, Mary, had some and that they were still in her old room on the bookshelf. She had three original Furbies including one of the limited edition Fall Furbies. I found them, cleaned the connections, and put new batteries in them. Of the three Furbies she had two are still working. My ten year old son thinks they are fun to play with and now wants one for Christmas. So new Furby verses old Furby, I guess this Christmas we will find out. I know that I like the old eyes, but will see how the new ones work.

I am posting the picture of the old Furbies for everyone to see.

Have a great weekend!
