Blue Gradient + Snowflakes

[you like that awesome title? haha fail T___T]

finals are done with, the semester is done with, the snow is ever so slowlyyy melting, & i have a new mani!~


i used China Glaze's Shower Together, Atlantis, & Fairy Dust. i also added a few random big glitters. i did free-hand those snowflakes, which was a pain cause it took a super steady hand & im impatient. hehe.

im actually kinda upset that the gradient looks so ugly in the picture; i dont know why the blues are different tones :/ but believe me, the gradient looks much better irl. - - - - oh well.

can you believe Christmas is already next Saturday?!?!?! i have not even bought one single present yet!!! o____O im super behind this year. i might go shopping this weekend though~ haha

enjoy the rest of your week!,

  12. This is very pretty! I like that it's a gradient and with some of your nail 'naked'.. I might copy that at some point :p I'm impressed with your freehand snowflakes! I thought about doing that at some point, but I gave up! haha

    I haven't bought a single present yet either :/ Ah well, it'll work out somehow..
