Candy. It's Like Christmas Food.

Ah, the candy cane.  That spun and molded sugar coma just begging to make your mouth and teeth red every year.  You could also lick the end into a form of shank, but it's Christmas!  So you don't.

Well, you shouldn't.

It's fairly easy to do a candy cane on your nails - just get yourself a good white, a sparkly red, some striping tape, and about an hour and a half of your life you can never get back.  Don't forget all the forgiveness you'll have to beg of your family as an endless stream of cuss words flows out of your mouth because the damn things aren't even.

Yay, Christmas!

Zoya Purity and Zoya Blaze

So glittery.  So cuticle flooded.

Strangely thick and runny at the same time.  Oh nail polish gods, what can I do to appease thee?!

If I thought it would have worked, I would have used Blaze as the base and used Purity for the stripes.  My cuticles just do.not. tolerate dark polishes, and will never give up the color, no matter how many ounces of acetone I use to burn them.  They are tortured and refuse to talk - good in a crisis, bad in a polish blog.
