@DonnaD I got your gloves! Thank you, they're sooo beautiful. You must really be Santa, how did you know I love red gloves the most? And they're so warm! I have really poor circulation, but these actually warm my hands and let me use my fingers ;AA; A++ perfection

aahhhh I will take a picture later, but my internet is sooo bad right now

Just posted this in the discussion thread, but thought it should be in here too!:

And with these last few reveals, I can now declare that the Secret Santa For Nails 2013 was an ABSOLUTE SUCCESS!  All official presents are accounted for, and I hear there are still some Ninja Santa gifts going out!  I can't say enough amazing things about all of you.  What a wonderful group!  I really look forward to doing this again next year, and I encourage you to join the Pen Pal or Traveling Journal threads if you want the magic to continue!  

And without further ado, here is the list of matchups!  The column on the left is the Santa, and the column on the right is the corresponding Santee.

@DonnaD's gloves for me!!

Accidentally super christmasy because I felt like painting my nails BL jack the lad after Christmas, and aaah they're so pretty with the gloves. (ignore the tipewear. I was using Julep's Freedom TC which always gives me tipwear after like 12 hours >__&gt



sooooo beautiful, thank you. Genuinely, red gloves are my favourite! They're always my first pick when I buy new gloves (which I do like twice a winter because I lose so many of them u____U) these will be cherished and not lost because i'm going to also wear them inside when I code. I have such poor circulation my life is full of tears becaues I'm always cold and these are a boon to me actually needing to use my fingers and be on the computer

The first one I'm wearing right now, on most nails I have LA Colors' Sparkling Diamonds over NARS' Disco Inferno (from my Nail Santa @lemony007 ) and on my accent nail I have Enchanted Polish's Daydream Surprise over Nails Inc's St James Park (from Ninja Santa @Donna529 ) and I can't stop staring at my nails!!! Thank you ladies!



And the second manicure is WnW by Fergie's Tonight's Gonna Be A Good Night over Butter London's Wallis. Both polishes from lemony007!



And I dream up new manis every day!

 Those are gorgeous!

Those are beautiful gloves in a perfect shade of red & your nails are so pretty!

  Great gifts! Cant wait to see day 4!
Thanks all

 you are awesome!! I can't wait to start seeing other people's gifts too!

For day 4 I got a Julep base coat and quick dry topcoat! The timing of the base coat is very good- I am almost out of my go-to base coat- and the timing of the top coat is actually good too- I recently got a Seche vite to replace another top coat, but honestly, it dries tooooo fast for me- I don't know how you ladies get it done.  So I am super super pumped to try these!!! Thanks again Santa

Nice!  I am so far behind on these post have to catch up see what everyone got.

 

[Lolo22]

Omg!! I got ninja santa-ed by my own Santa! A mysterious box showed up and for once I was not expecting any packages lol. Inside was this!!!!!

A beautiful card and gasp!!!!! Illamasque Speckle from [@]jennm149[/@]!!!! I've had naked nails for a few days because nothing was calling out to me and as soon as I opened this it was on my nails in less than 30 minutes! Purple is my favorite color and I have wanted a speckle polish forever. What a cool surprise!! I can't stop staring at my nails /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> thank you so much Jenn, what a sweet and generous surprise!! No flash:

My first Essie polish in my collection! In The Cabana, from the 2013 Resort Collection.

Wow! LOVE it. The funniest thing is that I actually have had the mini set sitting in my Amazon cart for a few weeks. I had been looking at Essie colors, because I live pastel shades. This is such a pretty color.

I agree with your card... We have very similar tastes! Wow. Excited for the rest, but I think I am going to save for now.

Cute blue!

Every time I see pictures of your awesome gloves I think I need to teach myself to crochet (I can knit but never tried crocheting) just to see if I can pull them off. They look so warm and cozy.
