I think this will be my last Christmas themed nail art for a while. I say that like I'm drowning you in them, but this is only the fourth! I'm really struggling to come up with fresh ideas, I really don't know how I came up with 12 of them last year! It's weird to look back at those and see how much my skills have improved since then. What a difference a year makes!
For the green nails I used two coats of NYC Flat Iron Green (creme) as a base, then two coats of Sinful Colors Call You Later (glitter). The red nail is one coat of Rimmel Heart on Fire (creme), one coat of Barry M Red Glitter and one coat of Sinful Colors Paris (gold glitter).
Next I used Barry M Gold Foil to stamp on some bows from Bundle Monster plate BM317, then freehanded the ribbon lines with a nail art brush. Then I went over the bows, because they didn't stamp very well, and outlined everything with black acrylic paint.
All finished with two top coats of NYC.

Now, that's a cute design! Like it very much...I'd rather put one present on the ringfinger and leave the other nails in one colour, though.
