Happy Monday! Today I'm stepping outside of the 12 Days of Christmas challenge to bring you the first of a new collaboration series that I'm starting with Catriona of Belle Glamour. If you've been around a while, you'll have heard me mention Cat in the past - she is the first British blogger friend that I made after starting Fixin To Faff, and what began as a business arrangement has blossomed into a friendship that I truly cherish, as she provides me with almost daily giggles and regales me with stories of her wee Sophie. Among our other common interests is a love for all things Harry Potter, so we've decided to set aside the first Monday of every month to bring you two nail art looks centered around a common Harry Potter theme. Of course the only theme we could possibly choose to christen our new collaboration is the boy who lived himself, Harry.
I created this gold, burgundy, and black look using a handful of some old favorites and a couple of recent loves.

On my index finger, I used the dab-and-drag technique to spread the gold glitter pieces around in my tribute to the Golden Snitch. I then used a striping brush to create the Gryffindor "scarf" on my pinky, and the Ruffian look on my thumb and ring fingers with Burgundy Crush, and then tidied up any slips with more L.A.M.B. After everything was dry, I sealed it all in with SV.
I hope you enjoyed this tribute to our favorite boy wizard. Be sure to check out what Cat has done by visiting her Magical Monday look!
Have a wonderful, safe week, and I will see you tomorrow, when we'll get back into the 12DOC challenge!
