For this final challenge of 2012, we asked the crafters to make something with a little holiday sparkle. I had great plans of a beaded sweater for this project, but between having visitors, traveling and then getting a nasty cold that idea went out the window. Still, I didn’t want to miss out on doing every challenge of the year by missing the last one. So, I give you my pink champagne nails…
I did them yesterday for New Year’s Eve to represent the bubbles in champagne. I’m sure Susi is dying right now. We always joke about nail art and how it won’t be something we’ll feature on JCE. And here I am resorting to it.
Anyway, if you want to do nails like this it’s really easy. You just need pale pink polish (I used Sally Hansen Petite Pink), pink round glitter or small sequins, tweezers and top coat (I reccommend a fast drying top coat like Essie Good to Go). Paint one coat of the pink on all your nails and let it dry. Then one nail at a time apply a second coat of the pink and use tweezers to place the glitter on the wet polish. When you finish one hand, top with the top coat and let dry. Now repeat on the other hand. It is a little tougher placing the glitter on your dominate hand, so a friend can be helpful.
Hope you all had a glittering New Year’s Eve. I’m looking forward to a new year of Iron Craft starting tomorrow.

Happy New Year to you and Susi. I hope you have a healthy and prosperous New Year. Please include me in 2013. Best wishes–DrRuss
It will not be any fun without you Dr Russ! Happy New Year to YOU! We cannot wait to follow all of your adventures! – Susi
Kathy, I am cracking up! Your nails are beautiful. I will work on a complete pom-pom tutorial, and some swept-up hair tips for 2013!
Those look great. I am not sure I would have the patience to do that plus no one in my house would appreciate it- BOYS!
So cute! I totally forgot about this challenge but I’m all set for 2013.
I did this challenge, but didn’t post until today. Gah! And for some reason I thought this was the first challenge of 2013.
