Guess What I Gave Up?!?

That freaking Christmas Challenge.

As fun as I thought it would be to force some creativity, it just became a massive burden.  And in true Claw fashion, I quit instead of committing and buckling down.  It's part of my charm.  If I feel like putting any of the remaining things up (tree, wreath, santa), I certainly will and we can celebrate them together.

But in the meantime, I'm getting back to doing stuff that just strikes me as interesting - which is usually pretty awesome by itself.

Today's manicure reminded me of gift wrap.  Maybe it's the gold and green together, and maybe it's the crisp lines.  All I know is that this is another for the "love" column, and it photographed like a champ.

Zoya Logan and accents in China Glaze I'm Not Lion

All that shimmer.  I can hardly stand it.

Ring finger kind of looks like an Anarchy symbol at the right angles.
FIGHT THE MAN, NOT THE MANICURE!

I love this photo.

Zoya Logan is such a boss color.  It has great opacity at one careful coat, it's packed full of golden and green shimmer, and it's just so darn pretty.  China Glaze I'm Not Lion is a super finely milled gold/silver/holo glitter that provides endless sparkle and is opaque in two coats.  It dries gritty, so if you don't like that texture, put a thick topcoat on, and enjoy the shine.

I can't believe that we've only got 12 days until Christmas Day.  Where on Earth has this year gone so quickly?!
