Christmas Nail Art Series - Poinsettias

Hey again!

Today I have yet another Christmas manicure for you all. I actually think this is my favourite so far and even though I was planning on doing something else for Christmas Day, I think I'll be leaving this one on!


I even got a shot of my right hand with this design so I thought I would share that as well. Obviously it's not as good/neat as my left hand but I'm coming along and it's getting easier to use my non-dominant hand!

Christmas Nail Art Series - Wreaths

Hey guys!

Today I have for you the next nail design in my Christmas series: wreaths! I was truly out of original ideas for a Christmas design and I didn't want to do anything that's already been done before (that I know of, at least) so I racked my brain and finally came up with this design. I was a little skeptical about it because I wasn't sure if it would really end up looking like wreaths but I'm actually pretty pleased with how it turned out!

China Glaze Strong Adhesion Base Coat
China Glaze - Midnight Kiss (gold background)
China Glaze - Jolly Holly (wreath)
OPI - Alpine Snow (base colour for bows and other wreath decorations)

How is everyone doing? I'm still stressin' over final exams and final papers but I'll be done everything Friday evening so I promise I'll get back to regular posting; I have a lot of posts lined up!

In the meantime I'm still carrying on with my Christmas Nail Art Series and the next design is a simple candy cane one with some holly added to spice it up.

Christmas Nail Art Series - Santa's Belly

Hey!

Today in the midst of researching and writing papers I was able to complete the next design in my Christmas series: Santa's big ol' belly! Except my nails aren't very wide so they don't do justice to the roundness of Santa's belly so I think this would be a great design for someone with wider nail beds.

Anyways, here it is:



Products:
China Glaze Strong Adhesion Base Coat
China Glaze - Ruby Deer (Santa's suit)
OPI - Alpine Snow (white fur on Santa's suit)
L.A. Colors Art Deco - Black (belt)
Color Club - Sultry (belt buckle)
Black rhinestones from eBay (suit buttons)
