This manicure is for the third and final installment of the Holiday Nail Art Challenge hosted by NailPolishCanada. The theme for the week is Trim the Tree: Lights, ornaments, tinsel, frosting, heck, even popcorn on a string if that’s your thing. Let’s see your nails all dolled up like a Christmas Tree!  The design for this challenge was inspired by Chalkboard Nails‘ amazing Eye of Sauron manicure which is, hands down, one of my favorite manicures ever. I chose to do a Christmas tree in the snow at night, one of my favorite holiday sights – it always makes me feel warm and fuzzy :)

The gradient is done with OPI Banana Bandana, OPI Unfor-Greta-Bly Blue, and A-England Lady of Shallot, using a foam sponge. The lights on the trees are glitters I fished out Deborah Lippmann Happy Birthday and Cherimoya Fire Work. I love how sparkly the little tree is!
