no nails

Ho ho ho! Happy Christmas Eve to everybody who celebrates Christmas and happy holidays to everyone! What better nail art to have on your nails on Christmas than Santa himself? I painted most of my fingers a lovely bright red (I painted the ring finger with a nude pink/brown polish). When that was fully dry, I taped on a thick stripe on my thumb close to the cuticle and painted it black. With a dotter tool, I then added white dots all the way down to the black stripe (leave them a little bobble-y to make it seem "fuzzy"). When the black was dry, I drew on a gold square right in the middle of the black stripe. Add two little lines in the middle of the gold square in black and it is perfect for a belt buckle! On the ring finger, I taped a triangle and painted it red. Add white dots at the tip of the nail and one dot at the top tip of the triangle and you have Santa's hat! Polishes Used: OPI in Bubble Bath(nude) and Big Apple Red(red). Essie in blanc(white) and licorice(b...

Hallo! Seeing as it is one week 'til Christmas, I thought it would be appropriate to post some reindeer nails.  I started off with two coats of a light blue. Then I taped off the very tip with a curved piece of tape and applied a light brown polish. I them added little dots that would work as ears in the same light brown. With a darker brown, I made little lines right next to the "ears" with littler lines coming out of them to be antlers. On the very tip of the nail, I painted on a little nose in black for most of my nail and then one with a red nose. With a dotter tool, I added dots just above the nose and, in the middle of the white dots, I added very small black dots, making eyes for the reindeer. Polishes Used: Essie in blanc(white), licorice(black), and bikini so teeny(blue). Zoya in Chanelle(light brown). China Glaze in Ruby Pumps(red glitter). ((For the dark brown/antlers, I just mixed some of the light brown polish with a little black)) See you gu...

Hi guys. Now, we wouldn't have Christmas without Santa's elves, now would we? So, of course they deserve their own nail art! I started off with two coats of a green polish on all of my nails except my ring finger. I painted the ring finger with a nude pink. I taped a small triangle on the ring finger after the polish was fully dry and painted it green. With a dotter tool, I added white to the bottom and one little poof on the top to make a little elf hat. On the thumb, I taped and painted on a black line towards the cuticle and added a gold buckle to the center. Free hand, I added a "peter pan" collar to the tip of the nail in white polish. Polishes Used: OPI in bubble bath. Essie in licorice(black), good as gold(gold), blanc(white), and mojito madness(green)  See you guys Friday!

Hey guys. One of the best parts about the Christmas season is putting up a tree.  I started off with painting my thumb, middle, and pinky nails with a green and the index and ring nails with a nude pink. When that was fully dry, I taped triangles on the index and ring nails and painted them green. To decorate the tree, I added red with either gold of silver ornaments, and, of course, a gold or silver star on top of each tree. Polishes Used: OPI in Bubble Bath(nude). Essie in apres-chic(sliver), a list(red), and good as gold(gold). Zoya in Hunter(green) See you guys next week.

Hi guys! As a December tradition, I do snowman nails. Each year, I try doing different blues or something a little different. You can see last year's here!   I started off with two coats of a medium-tone blue (my favorite polish). I then took a dotter tool and made one big white dot at the tip of my ring finger. I then added another dot that was smaller right on top of it, making the base for the snowman. Of course, I added a top hat, a carrot nose, coal eyes, and buttons. I love how simple yet adorable he is. I then added a few dots to each nail to look like snow and a glitter coat to give it that really snowy feeling. Polishes Used: essie in butler please(blue), meet me at sunrise(orange), blanc(white), and licorice(black). China Glaze in Fairy Dust(glitter)  See you guys Thursday with more festive nails!

Ho Ho Ho!!! I am ready for the Christmas Season! To start of the month: snow! I love the matte collection from Zoya and when you apply it on with a sponge it gives the perfect effect of snow! I started off with two coats of a light purple. When that was dry, I sponged on a few layers of white matte from Zoya at the tips of the nail. This makes it look like freshly fallen snow waiting to be turned into a snowman! I love the effect! Polishes Used: Zoya in  Aspen, essie in virgin snow See you next Tuesday with another set of Christmas-y nails.
