    12 Days of Christmas Nails: Day 5… This Old Thing

    Today’s Christmas nails are inspired by the always favourite tacky Christmas jumper! Enjoy!

    I used Barry M Raspberry as my base colour then shuffled through all my plates to find some Christmassy designs and settled on Bundle Monster plates BM205 and BM14 stamped with Sally Hansen Insta-Dri in Whirlwind White. 
    I used white acrylic paint for the little details and also to colour in a few of the stamped designs to make them ‘pop’!

    12 Days of Christmas Nails: Day 4… Let it Snow!

    Last year it snowed like crazy around this time of year but so far this winter, I haven’t seen a single snowflake.
    Remember my Halloween manicure with the skeleton? Well I’ve gone back to that idea of a design over two nails and it’s so much fun!
    Today was an exciting mail day in my house! I received my Red Angel stamping plates that everyone’s been talking about so you can look forward to some brand new stamping manis in the near future. I already love them and would recommend you go buy them [link here]!
    The base colour is NYC Glossies 243B and I used white acrylic paint for all the detail. The glitter and stars are from a random glitter polish that I found!

    12 Days of Christmas Nails: Day 2 (Reindeer Nail Art)

    Here goes Day 2 of my Christmas themed manicures! Coming up with ideas for this theme is so much fun and it’s really getting me in the mood for Christmas. I thought I’d struggle to come up with 12 designs but as it turns out, I may have a job narrowing it down to just 12!
    I can remember as a child being read the poem, ‘Twas The Night Before Christmas’ every Christmas Eve and I always tried so hard to remember all the names of the reindeer. I’ll list all the ones I can remember and you guys can fill me in on the rest… Dancer, Prancer, Donner, Blitzen, Comet, Cupid, Vixen? Haha, am I right so far?
    I used an unnamed Collection 2000 white as a base colour.
    I outlined the main shape of the reindeer with Barry M Mushroom and then used black and white acrylic paint for the details. The antlers were done with L’Oreal Black Bean. Rudoph’s nose is Barry M Red Glitter over La Femme Cherry Red.

    12 Days of Christmas Nails: Day 1

    It’s December! My countdown to Christmas has officially started and I’ll be documenting it on my nails (of course!). It’s my plan to post 12 Holiday themed manicures before Santa pays a visit . Apologies in advance if I don’t manage to post 12 but I’ll try my best!

    I used A-England Galahad* as a base and sponged on Barry M Blue Glitter from the tips. I stamped the snowflake from Bundle Monster plate BM14 and finished it with a rhinestone and a top coat of NYC.
