Thought I'd post my Konadicure of the week! I've named it Ice Princess, since that seems an adequate name given the fact that winter finally arrived these last days - lots of snow and really cold, brrrr... ;) It's so beautiful outside now (pictures enclosed!), and I really love the fact that we are going to have a white Christmas this year. Back when I was a kid, there were always white Christmases, nowadays we're lucky if we get any snow in December at all.
This autumn has been the warmest ever up here - some days when returning home after I've left my little one at daycare, I could hear the birds singing in the trees, and although that's nice, something is really wrong when that happens in late November... Climate has indeed changed, and I think it's really scary...
Well, on to something a little more entertaining - todays' pics!

The product stash...
Coastal Scents glitter "Sterling .004" (1 tsp=$1.00!)...
Glitter and rhinestones (rhinestones bought off eBay)...

Close-up...
I started out with 3 coats of Essie "Ballet Slippers", which is a beautiful pale pink creme that applies very well, I might add. Then, just after applying my Seche Vite topcoat, I sprinkled on the glitter starting at the base of the nails, working upwards - pretty randomly as you can probably tell ;) I thereafter picked up one rhinestone at the time, dipping the base of it in Seche Vite, and applied to the nails. I finished by applying one coat of NailTek Intensive Therapy II as a protective top coat. That's it - done!
I quite enjoy this Konadicure, and I'd love to hear what you gals think :)
I also want to show you some pics of the beautiful scenery outside my windows - the trees in particular are spectacular looking sprinkled with snow! Beware of the pic spam :)
Sunset view...
Trees surrounding our garden...
Our closest neighbors' houses, and Zingo - one of our Golden Retrievers...

Another little glimpse of our home...
Finally, since I know I'll be very busy the upcoming days, and probably won't have time to post - I'd like to wish you all a
- may all of your holiday wishes come true!

Hi Tuli!
Thank you so much, I appreciate it! Yes, that's the scenery just outside my windows; it really is beautiful, but it's been so darn cold these last couple of days so one hasn't really been able to be outside for more than 15 minutes...
You have a great holiday too, friend :)) Hugs!
Love the way you did the polish..so pretty and princessy....It looks like you live in the middle of nowhere....So beautiful...Wow!!!!!!
Hi Krista - long time ;)
In the middle of nowhere, LOL!!! Pretty much the truth, though - we live about 10 minutes drive from the city, on the countryside, and we are surrounded mainly by acres and forest. It's pretty weird; one minute you're in town, surrounded by people, cars, and loud noises and 10 minutes later it's just peace, quiet and calm - just the birds twittering and the wind sweeping through the trees... Food for the soul ;)
Wow! Ice princess really describes this well :)
Hi Nea!
Sorry for late reply, I obviously missed your comment ;)
Thank You!!
Your nails are stunning! I love this ice princess look. You did a great job. And thank you for including the photos of the snowcovered trees. They are truly nature's works of art.
