The theme for LeLack’s NailArt Sunday this week is a Swedish Christmas song called Tänd Ett Ljus, which mean Light a candle. I’ve been doing quite a literal interpretation of the lyrics, which includes darkness, (children of the) the earth, a candle, and a falling star. It’s one of my favorite songs this time of year so it was really fun to do.

I started with two coats of A England Bridal Veil, for a dark starry night sky. With dotting tools I did a very irregular candle. For the globe I first painted a half circle with China Glaze Man Hunt, and then Catrice King Of Greens was added with a dotting tool. This is a very arbitrary world map =)

For the star fall I first tried to paint a star by hand, but it failed miserably so I just put on a star that I had in my stash, and the star trail was made with OPI Servin’ Up Sparkle.

Here’s a shot of all the polishes used:

L-R: A England Bridal Veil, China Glaze Man Hunt, Catrice King Of Greens, MIYO Sunny, Eyeko Coral Polish, China Glaze Snow, OPI Servin’ Up Sparkle.

Now I need to go and do everything that has to be done for tomorrow, like wrapping all the Christmas gifts and deciding what manicure to wear tomorrow. Do you know what you’ll be wearing for Christmas? I’m thikning of something green or silver.
