Christmas Challenge - Candy Canes (& Gingerbread Men)

I didn't know if I HAD to do both items or if I could choose just one, but I did a Candy Cane Theme. The only gingerbread man I could do would have been a stamp and I really didn't like the looks of the design on the stamp.

I am super happy with how this turned out. I just wish today wasn't dark and rainy because I can't get any natural sunlight pictures to show just how beautiful this mani is in real life. The pictures certainly do not do it justice!

I used the following:

Base Coat of Nail Magic Nail Strengthener
Two Coats of China Glaze - Ruby Pumps
(Ruby Pumps is an AMAZING deep red with the most beautiful sparkly shimmer)
Top Coat of Seche Vite
Scotch Tape (To do the Silver Stripe)
Kiss brand white striping polish
Top Coat of Seche Vite

On my thumb I used:

Two Coats of China Glaze - Ruby Red (LOVE THIS COLOR!)
BM Plate #209
Special White Konad Polish (For Stamping)
Top Coat of Seche Vite

Here are some pics:

Enjoy!!
