More catching up of Christmas manicures of 2013.
I had the good fortune to have won a contest by Accio Lacquer sponsored by Silly Bee’s Chickadees polish over the 2013 holidays.
The polish was custom made for Accio Lacquer by Silly Bee’s Chickadees. The polish was inspired by the movie A Christmas Story.
I used two coats with nothing under it except base coat.
Loved the polish and was so happy to have received it. 
I’ve been so behind in posting that I have a handful of Christmas manicures that I did in 2013 that I did write a post about. I put the pictures up on my instagram, twitter and the facebook page when I did them. So now I’m back tracking and posting up the steps and polished used.
This manicure was a test in using my non-dominant hand and I did these on 12/2/13. I decided to do Christmas trees. I used a rhinestone wheel, nail art brush, Pure Ice Jaguar, Ulta Envy, China Glaze Winter Holly, and Color Club top coat. 
I did two coats of Jaguar.
Using the nail art brush I did a triangle shape using Envy then topped it with Winter Holly. My proportions were all off and I should have used tape to get a better line but oh well. 
I added some red rhinestones at the top and then finished it off with top coat. 
I wasn’t very happy with how it came out but the only way to improve using my left hand is to keep at it.
For this manicure I was inspired by Jior Couture Cat’s Corn-er polish from their Halloween 2013 collection. Warning this post is picture intensive. 
Cat’s Corn-er polish is a holographic thermal chocolate brown polish that is also candy corn scented. Application was smooth and the smell made me crave candy. I tried my best to capture the shift in thermal and the holorraphic effect in pictures. 
I decided to stamp a cat to play on the title Cat’s Corn-er. I choose a lovely retro cat from Pueen Cosmetics plate Pueen40. I stamped with Maybelline Bold Gold. 
The cat came across better when Cat’s Corn-er is dark brown rather than the light caramel color.
This polish packs a punch. I love how it changes colors and the different looks you can get. I’m glad that I just did a simple stamp cause I didn’t want to cover up the color. 
I give Cat’s Corn-er 5 brains.
