Nails From the Kiyomizu Hunt

Hiya everyone! Tonight I am focusing on some lovely nails I found in the Kiyomizu Winter Hunt, most of which are for Maitreya hands. They are all being guarded by ninja cats who are hiding in many of the stores at the Kiyomizu Mall or in the designers' mainstores, just click a floating ghost on any walkway at the mall for a website that will show you which you have found and where you still need to visit. I know, I've mentioned all this the past couple of posts as well, but it bears repeating in case someone is reading this post as their first ever visit to my blog. If so, welcome!! :) This fantastic but tricky hunt happens 4 times a year, so you can make it part of your traditions when the seasons change, as I have.

While I am focusing on nails, we still need clothing to start our look in style, and for tonight I chose the RuffleNeck Dress from Magiclo which is their hunt prize. It comes in 4 fitmesh standard sizes as well as Maitreya, Slink Hourglass, and Slink Physique versions, and the deep brown color is nicely accented with bold red, yellow, and green snowflakes. The ruffles add an extra feminine touch to this pretty dress.

Speaking of snowflakes, these striking nails from <ooSiki> have a dusting of icy flakes and even an icicle or two among the lovely designs. They are called Nail Snow (MAIT) and are for Maitreya hands only, and offer a mixed manicure as seen here. I really like the alternating shades of blue, both of which show off the snowflakes very well.

Perhaps you are craving something pink and sparkly for your next manicure, well the prize from KoCha has got you covered. Their gift is called Nails #09 Maitreya Applier and will decorate your nails with pink tips and a sprinkling of glitter. I was drawn to the almond shape of the Maitreya nails, it seems to work well with all of tonight's manicures and is flattering to the fingers. 

This is a fun combination of a pastel rainbow and cute critters, courtesy of <ShopAruie> and their hidden kitty. The HUD is for Maitreya nails and offers this terrific style with its sweet drawing and multicolored gradient that is sure to match any outfit you decide to wear it with.

One last look of the night, this is one of the 3 designs of the hunt gift from ~IVY~ called Tidori nails. This bold houndstooth pattern with a small pearl in the center of each nail is offered in red, black, and gold choices for your Maitreya nails, and I randomly chose the red for this photo. They would add a fun touch to an elegant gown, or dressed down with something comfy and casual.

Wow, I really fell behind tonight in my timing! First I was distracted by a hockey game, then delayed by a fruitless search for something in my home that remains missing, and I just feel frazzled tonight. I'll be fine, nothing is "big picture" type of wrong, just little things that won't matter in the long run. I am still trying to start the year off with positive thinking and optimism :) I do hope you're all having a wonderful day/evening, and please stay warm and safe if you're anywhere that is experiencing record low temperatures like my area. Many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
