Merry Christmas!
I thought I'd show you some of the nail designs I've been doing in the run up to Christmas.
This is the Gift Wrapped design I did for my mom.
I started out with two coats of
China Glaze's Tip Your Hat from the Twinkle Collection. Using gold sticker stripes and a gold bow, I created the gift design on the middle finger. On the index and ring fingers I added glitter stars.
Recently I did this Christmas design, inspired by various designs I saw over the internet.
On the thumb, index and baby fingers, I painted two coats of
Rimmel's Block Your Green. Then on the middle and ring fingers I painted a two coat base of
China Glaze's White On White.
On the middle fingers I applied striping tape in a diagonal pattern, painted
London Girl's 149 on top and carefully removed the tape to create this candy cane effect.
For the ring fingers, I applied tape in an inverted "V" and began dotting various sizes with the London Girl and the Rimmel to make a tree and placed a star sticker on the top before sealing it with a top coat of Seche Vite.
My own mani was inspired by a candle created by my friend Maryann over at
One Stop Pamper. I'm not sure if she still makes it, but it smelt like peppermint. It had these glitter particles in it, so it not only looked, but smelt like fresh snow.
Two coats of
China Glaze's White On White and then a coat of Butter London's Frilly Knickers to create the snow effect. On my thumb and baby fingers I did a glitter gradient with
China Glaze's De-Light from the Twinkle Collection. On the rest, I painted on Nails Inc's Diamond Arcade and sealed it with Seche Vite.
I may do another mani for Christmas Day, if I do, it will probably posted after the day itself. It I don't, have an awesome December 25th, whatever you may be doing that day!
