It might be a little early in the cold weather season for my mitts to be looking quite so chapped, but the condition of my hands, as well as the inspiration for these nails, is perfectly in keeping with the crazy (and crazy cold) weather we’ve had lately. Drifting snow, freezing rain, bitterly cold temperatures, maybe a bit of hail – we’ve had it all, and somehow all at once. It’s a horrible weather miracle!
I think this manicure is really pretty, particularly the flakes on my index and pinkie fingers, which I created using the pond manicure technique, which is when you free-hand a nail art design between layers of a super sheer jelly polish. It a cool technique that makes everything look soft and diffuse, perfect for designs of fluffy, sparkly snow gently piling up on the windowsill.

I love the delicate white on white. I have to try this “pond” technique one of these days!
Thanks! 🙂
The subtle beauty of this really speaks to me. I love how serene it is. I want to sit at your side and nail gaze with some coffee. It will be awkward for you. But I won’t mind.
Ha! No, not the least bit awkward! I mean, one of us *might* have to speak at some point, but softly falling snow – even the fake stuff on my nails – does have a way of lulling you into a bit of a trance. We’ll have to make it some seriously bracing java. 🙂
