Day 321) Nail art star and moon

Today I just want to show one of my favourite glitter polishes for the Holidays (read: any Holiday).
Therefore the nail art is secondary but still tried to make something cute though.

China Glaze - Marry a Millionaire (3 coats)

Marry a Millionaire is a clear polish richly filled with different glitters.
There are purple and pink microglitter and a lot of multicolor/holo bar glitters.
This mix constantly changes in every different light, room, environment and you get totally lost in it...as does my camera ;P
Applying is quite easy as it spreads evenly and you don't have to fish for glitter.
Opaque wise it needs at least 3 coats (see picture above) but 4 is the best.
If you leave some drying time in between the coats (few minutes) you'll get the best outcome and easiest way for applying.
This nail polish is very suitable for a party or Holidays!!

Day 320) Bright December moon is beaming...

Today Sinterklaas had his arrival to the Netherlands.
We've been watching a bit on TV and went to town to see his arrival there as well.
I couldn't go without Sinterklaas nails.
So here is another Sinterklaas nail art.
This one is inspired by a Sinterklaas song the children sing.

I have a quite literal translation of this song in English:

See the moon shines through the trees,
Mates, stop your wild roars.
The delightful evening has arrived.
the evening of Sinterklaas.
Full with expectations beats our heart,
who'll gets the cake, who'll gets the whisk.
Full with expectations beats our heart,
who'll gets the cake, who'll gets the whisk.

But a more correct translation would be (according to an English digital school):

Bright December moon is beaming
Boys and girls now stop your play!
For tonight’s the wondrous evening,
Eve of good St Nicholas Day.
O’er the roofs his horse unshod
Bring us gifts or else the rod.
O’er the roofs his horse unshod
Bring us gifts or else the rod.

Well, enough about the song.
I've painted an evening with moon and tree and houses.
This is simular to the images that go with the song.
