Let it Snow!

Never mind, friends! The internet works, so long as I'm really, realllllly patient.  Here's the nails!
Here's the supplies:
4 shades of darkening blues, a silver, a white, a sponge, and something to make lines and dots with.
I used Klean Color's "Mermaid", "Blue Pearl", and "Cobalt", Wet n Wild's "I Need A Refresh-Mint",  and "Silvivor", Maybelline's "Porcelain Party", and NYC 's "Empire State Blue".
First step, polish your nails the lightest blue that you'll be using.  I'm really sorry, but I forgot to take a picture of this step.  I'm sure you can imagine, and the next photo shows what the polish looks like under the second color.  Before you proceed to the next step, wait until your nails are COMPLETELY DRY.  Don't skip this, you'll end up having mashed up polish, and won't be able to get the design to look nice.  
Next step: Paint a bit of the next darker shade of polish onto the makeup sponge, and starting at your cuticle, dab the darker polish down your nail.
The gradient is hard to see here, it's easier in the next photo.
Repeat this step with each shade of blue, progressing until you are putting just a small bit of the darkest blue right at your cuticle.


Allright! Give your nails a bit of time to dry, and then proceed onto the next step.  Place a couple drops of white polish onto an old tupperware lid.  Using the stick, make one white line on your nail.  From there, make a white line crossing that one.  Then make two more, to form a snowflake.



Make one or two snowflakes on each nail, varying in size and position.  Even make a couple that extend off of your nails!
 Like this!
Next, place a couple drops of silver polish onto the lid, and use the stick to place silver dots at the points and centers of all the snowflakes. 
 When you're finished, you should have a design that looks something like this:
Finished!
Now clean up your cuticles and the edges of your nails, and you're finished!  PAM it, and you should be good to go.  
Okay, now that we've finished this, let's see some other pictures!
 Okay, maybe this is a bit excessive...

For Christmas, I was given twelve new bottles of polish from one line, called Klean Color.  So far, I really like the quality of polish, and the colors are just fantastic.  
Here's the colors I was given
Allrighty everyone, I hope you all have had a wonderful break so far, and I'll see you all back at school!
