I'm so excited about today's post, a very special Paint All the Nails link-up.
Emily thought of a quite unique way for us ladies to celebrate Christmas, by arranging a Secret Santa exchange fit to all NPAs out there.
Christmas is about sharing and spreading love, so our Secret Santa link-up is all about us recreating a mani from one of the girls names were randomly sorted and we each were assigned a fellow member.
I loved doing it and was all fun and gigles when recreating this mani:
You must've guesse by the pose I tried to recreate I got the wonderful Deborah from Love Varnish
I was so happy to know I'd be recreating one of her manis!
Deborah was comes up with such elegant looks - something I, with my over the top cutsie nail art, am not always capable of picturing in my mind.
I chose a favourite of mine from her: her dress-inspired abstract nails which you can see HERE.
I didn't have her Cirque Colors Hustle she used, so I had to make do with Dermacélsia Nº74, Kiko 328 and Dior Black Out.
I sponged the colours on the middle nails and freehanded the black stripe, adding the two dots on the pinkie and index last.
I loved Deborah's look and I hope I paid her justice. Make sure to follow her blog, Facebook and Instagram if you aren’t already and go show her some festive love! :)
Hugs & Kissies,

Such a simple design, but very striking. I think it's due to these awesome, bold black stripes! I think your recreation is gorgeous! And the color scheme is so you ❤
