Winter Medley

Hi everyone!  Well, it's snowy and cold where I live so that means I'm sporting winter nails!  For Thanksgiving my sister wanted me to do her nails for her, so I was trying to think of several ideas for her to choose from and ended up swatching them to see how they would look.  Well, I ended up with 5 different looks and just wore them as a manicure that I named Winter Medley.  Since they all had the same shades of blue and glitter, it didn't look as disjointed as I imagined.  I figured I could post them here for everyone so you could have some inspiration this winter!

Look #1:
Base: Wet n Wild Blue Moon

Glitter: Wet n Wild silver shimmer top coat (no label on bottle) on entire nail
Northern Lights Holographic Topcoat in silver on top 2/3 of nail
Wet n Wild Kaleidoscope on top 1/3 of nail

Rhinestones: Broadway Nails

  

Look #2:
Gradient (lightest to darkest): OPI What's With the Cattitude?
Sally Hansen Pacific Blue
OPI Blue My Mind
Wet n Wild Blue Moon
Color Club Blue-topia

Glitter: Wet n Wild silver shimmer top coat (no label on bottle) on entire nail
Northern Lights Holographic Topcoat in silver on top 2/3 of nail
Wet n Wild Kaleidoscope on top 1/3 of nail



Look #3:
Same as Look #2, but in the opposite direction


Look #4:
Base: OPI What's With the Cattitude?

Snowflakes: Rite Stripe in White

Glitter: Wet n Wild Hallucinate


Look #5:
Base: Color Club Blue-topia

Snowflakes: Rite Stripe in White


These looks were really fun to do.  I feel like there are so many sources of inspiration during the winter months and around the holidays.  Do you find the holidays inspiring? Where do you get your inspiration?
