White
It’s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas around here. I finished most of my wrapping today but there are still a few gifts I’m waiting for in the post (can you say last minute?!) so I have my fingers crossed that they’re going to get here before Wednesday! These cute Christmas water decals are from DIY Nails and they’re a new contender for my Christmas Day mani. The Fair Isle pattern on this sheet is just too cute to ignore.
When I do nail art, I hardly ever wear the same design on every nail. I’m an advocate of the skittle manicure but lately I’ve been completely obsessed with this double accent style. One just isn’t enough any more! I’m revisiting the waterfall today. It’s been more than a month since my last one and I’ve been itching to do one for a while. This combination was inspired by the glitter polish on my accents – KBShimmer You Autumn Know. I tried to match the colours in the glitter polish as closely as possible and decided to apply it over a shimmery gold base which is perfect for autumn!
The glitter accents are two coats of KBShimmer You Autumn Know over one of Barry M White.
I create the waterfall nail art (tutorial here) over a base of Rimmel Sunset Bronze. I used a nail art brush to apply the stripes using Barry M Gold Foil, Rimmel Purple Reign, Essie Jag-U-Are, China Glaze Dandy Lyin’ Around and Sally Hansen Sun Kissed.
It’s all topped off with a coat of Seche Vite.
This textured white polish from Barry M is one that I featured in my top 3 holiday nail shades this week on Divine Caroline. I wasn’t a huge fan of it at first but now that the winter and festive season are closing in, I have a new appreciation for the effect it creates. It looks just like freshly fallen snow, with a bit of extra glitter!
I used a coat of China Glaze Dandy Lyin’ Around followed by two coats of Barry M White Pearl for the white accents.
The pink is China Glaze Pink-ie Promise. I added a few 1mm pearls and some stamping from MoYou Sailor Collection 05 plate with BK Matte White polish.

The colours I used were Barry M White, W7 Baby Pink and Sally Hansen Razzle Dazzler.
For the ‘T’ I freehanded on the white circle using a nail art brush and then the T with black acrylic paint.
For the ‘tails’ I started with a white base, then used scotch tape to mark off the triangles and painted over it in Baby Pink.
It’s all finished with two coats of No7 Stay Perfect Top Coat.
