As it was pointed out by one of our Queens mistletoe and holly are not the same thing. I was going to cheat and go with a more holly like design but then it wouldn't really be a challenge now would it.
I started off with China Glaze 'Conduct Yourself' and Sinful Colors '24 Karat'. I love this burgundy and gold combination.
I then used my bornprettystore.com image plate QA57 and stamped the little x-shape pattern with 'Conduct Yourself' over the '24 Karat.' I also used a striping brush and 'Conduct Yourself' and framed the entire nail.
This is the same image plate that I used my Glittery Snowflake manicure. I have had a great deal of trouble with stamping but I have had the best luck with the image plates I have purchased through bornprettystore.com, not to meant their prices are great.

I then used two shades of green to draw squiggly vines and added small dots for leaves on my mistletoe. I used Revlon 'Emerald' and a green Art Club stripper for my green shades.
To give the mistletoe a little character I added a few pearls for berries. These pearls are from my Ciate Mini Manor Advent Calendar, which I am having a blast with.
I did a little clean up and added a shiny top coat to finish off my sexy mistletoe manicure. I think this would be a great look for a party and in the absence of actual mistletoe you could use your manicure to encourage a kiss from your sweetheart. I hope your are enjoying your holiday season so far, thanks for stopping by, see you next time.
