Inspire Me Monday: Is it festive in here, or is it just me?

I love Christmas lights. I'm not actually into Christmas itself, but I love the decorations, the smells, the ambiance... I decided to make merry this year and hang some icicle lights inside my apartment. I had two strands already, so I decided to make due with that and put one long row down the center. I also made and have been burning some candles that smell like cranberries making out with apple cider. It's festive as !#@$.

So being inspired by my lights, of course I had to use them as inspiration this week!

I started out with two coats of OPI Light My Sapphire, which is a gorgeous shimmery navy blue that I only ever wear around this time of year. I then painted the lights with acrylic paint, aiming to get the curves in line with half moons. To finish, I sponged a bit of CND Golden Sparkle on top to look like snowflakes glowing in the warm white lights, and topped with Seche Vite.

I'm still recovering, and unfortunately sitting in the position I need to maintain to do detailed nail art (which takes about 1-2 hours at least) is very painful for my sad little back muscles. :/ I will try to make more regular posts, but it doesn't look like I will be doing 2-3 works of nail art per week any time soon. I don't want anyone to feel sorry for me, I just hope you know I wish I could be making more delightful little nail costumes to share with everyone. I know you all understand.

Has anyone else put up Christmas decorations already? I just love 'em. I'm thinking about making a garland to hang up with the lights. And does anyone else in the NE wish it would snow?Christmas merrymaking requires snow! :)
