December Challenges - Christmas Candy

The challenge for #clairestelle8dec was Christmas Candy.
I didn't have any plates with the traditional candy canes on so I used UberChic UC3-03 and Hit the Bottle Snowed Under over Fancy Gloss Eternal Love.

Fancy Gloss Eternal Love is a dusky red with bright red shimmer. Application was bit patchy and I could have done with three coats but it it is a lovely red.
Although Hit the Bottle Snowed Under normally stamps well I think the polish spread a bit too thin here and I didn't really get a good red/white contrast. I do have a problem sometimes with these image where there are large blocks of stamped colour. I probabaly should have tried again with another white, although the HTB is usually the best!
To add to my pre-Christmas woes, the light was poor so the picture aren't good either.
In defiance I added some green stamping using Uberchic Christmas 01 and Esmaltes da Kelly Frogger. I think the end result was sort of ugly but cool! It was just one of those days!
