Christmas Challenge - Snowflakes!

Another stamp, but I really really like this one!  And the colors look so pretty!

First, I did a base of Essie No More Film, which is kind of a bluish purple creme.  Very twilight sky.
Ooooooo, twilighty.  

Then I added one coat of Essie Pure Pearlfection to add the sparkle it needed to simulate snowfall.
Yes, I get the irony of adding sparkles to a color I define as "twilight-y".  :-|  That lady is so rich now.  Ridiculous.

It's going to be 80 this Sunday.  I'm delusional at best, and snow sad at worst.

The snowflakes came courtesy of Konad plate m69.  I had the least room on the pinky, naturally, so I stamped right in the middle, and then went out and turned it for the other nails.

I love this.  So much.

I think it came out even better than what I thought it might.  The images transferred really well, and the blue/purple is just the perfect blizzard sky background for the sparkles and snowflakes.

Monday brings a Christmas Movie inspired manicure.  To be honest, I haven't picked my movie yet, as there are so many good ones!
