31 Day Challenge Day 7!

I made it the whole first week! I did do some combo posts because I sometimes don't get to post everyday with my 2 rugrats and other hobbies filling up my time. But today, Wednesday is date day with my hubby and I wanted to get my mani done before I go on my lunch date. We go play pool at this place and they have 2 for 1 burgers on Wednesdays so we play free pool and get good food too! Plus some quality adult time which is suuuuper nice.

So on to the CANDY CANES!!! I have really liked getting to do some fun art on my nails lately. What better time than Christmastime!?
I really really love Ruby Pumps by China Glaze. Its my new favorite red polish. I used it as a base and then painted on the white stripes with acrylic paint. Then gave it a shine with an Essie Luxeffects. I actually like this mani even though I am notoriously bad at drawing straight lines. I find that the thicker the line, the straighter I can get it to look. I also happen to be wearing my Candy Cane knee high socks so I used them for a background on one of the pics. I'm awesome and I love knee high socks in funky patterns. That should be my new catch phrase.
ENJOY!
