Belated Happy New Year and some manis

Hello ladies!
Sorry I was away these days, I visited my parents so it was all about eating, sleeping and meeting friends and relatives. I relaxed sooo much. And put on a couple kilos, I'm sure, but who cares?
So, in case I haven't wished you happy new year via twitter or fb or your blogs,

Happy New Year!!! 2012 will be awesome!!!

I did a festive mani for New Year's but the weather was cloudy every day so I couldn't get a good photo of it. Here's the only decent indoors photo I managed to take

It was much better in real life. For the snow effect I used q-tips with E.l.f. nail polish in White. I added some more snow with Orly nail polish in Shine, a gift from Christina. Thanks so much doll!! Check out her blog, all her nail designs are amazing!! I also used some Christmas stickers from Essence. These were part of the holiday trend edition a couple years ago. They are so cute, aren't they?

And because the previous photo isn't the best, here are a couple more manis, photographed outdoors when there was still sunlight.

This is Zoya nail polish in Harlow, a matte shimmery warm purple. It looks great by its own and with a regular top coat.

This is Avon nail polish in Vivid Violet. I like that Avon nail polishes have a flat brush!

This is Essie Merino Cool with TommyG nailquake in No 4. This combination reminds me of a turtle, lol!

And this is Essie Mesmerize, I don't have it in my collection yet, this was done in a nail salon. Great blue, I want it!

Thanks so much for visiting! I hope you had a great time during the holidays! Btw, did Santa pay you a visit? What did you get? This year I didn't get anything expensive. I got small and full of love presents instead and I'm more that thankful for them! :D
Keep smiling lovelies, see you soon!
