Winter Snowflake Mani

Just a quick post with my latest mani - my first one in over a week. I know, right?! I've felt practically naked! But it's been one of those oh-so-fun periods of time that those of us with autoimmune issues deal with - kidney infection thanks to the immunosuppressants, antibiotics, side effects, insomia - all of which cause major flares. But, I came out on the other side and I'm back.

Like I said, this is going to be a short post because I'm in something of a chemo hangover haze today so here's the pic:

I love the combo of blue & silver in the winter!
I started with two coats of Blue Bells Ring from China Glaze's Holiday Joy collection. It's such a perfect silvery winter blue color! I used Zoya Purity on my accent nail. Then I stamped the snowflakes on using Bundle Monster plates 319 and 323. After that, I dotted on Zoya Trixie (I simply adore this silver foil...I've yet to find anything it's not perfect for) in the middle of each snowflake and around them.

There's just something about the combination of blue and silver in the winter time. I know it's not the traditional red and green of Christmas, but it reminds me of lights shining on snowy winter nights. I guess that's why we went with that theme for our Christmas tree this year, too:

My awesome BF helped the kids and me with the tree last weekend
So, what are your favorite Christmas color combinations? Are you a clear light or multi-colored light person? Traditional or non-traditional? Let me know in the comments.
