MY FAVORITE NAIL/CHRISTMAS DESIGN!!

Ok, you guys have no idea how excited I am about these Christmas nails! :) Last night I decided to do my nails again and at first I really couldn't decide what I wanted to do. I looked all over the Internet to find some inspiration and finally decided to go through my stamps to see if I could figure out a fun design to do...and I have to say they turned out so much cuter than I expected! lol


I started off with a basecoat by Revlon, then painted one coat of Sinful Colors, Snow Me White over all of my nails. I was planning on doing a gradient background with blue, but the blue's I have are really dark, really light, or more of a turquoise, so it wouldn't turn out the way I wanted it to. So I decided to mix my China Glaze, Frostbite with my Essie, Borrowed & Blue and used my make-up sponges to apply the color. 

My favorite part about the entire design is the stamp I used. The stamp is by Cheeky, plate CH16, which kind of looks like snow and wind and is really what makes this design so perfect! Then to finish it off, I used my dotting tools to make the snow and the snowman and tape to make the Christmas tree.




I guess technically these are more Winter nails than Christmas, but either way they are still cute :) 


I hope you guys like this design as much as I do :) Please feel free to comment below and tell me what you think or give me some requests for designs you would like to see me do in the future! Just in case you guys didn't know, you can follow me on Facebook, Pinterest and now on Instagram as well :) 

CHRISTMAS NAIL DESIGN

Hey everyone! I apologize I haven't posted anything recently, I have been very busy. But if you follow me on Facebook you have probably seen my new designs already :)

First off I wanted to share with you guys the photo of the winner of my Giveaway, Brandi :) She absolutely loves her new polishes! (I do too! :P I'm tempted to go buy myself this same set lol)


Now on to a Christmas design :) This design was inspired by Robin Moses...if you have never seen her YouTube videos you have to check them out! She is Amazing! This Holiday ornament design was inspired by one of her videos, which you can see here. She used red and silver as her background colors, but I just decided to use red. 


If your wondering why this picture has a border and looks a little bit different than my usual photos its because I only had time to take a picture with my phone, so this photo is from my Instagram account. I just recently became part of the Instagram family, so if you have Instagram please feel free to look me up :)

I used alot of different colors in this design, and the best part about it, you can use whatever colors you want. So the background color is from my China Glaze Christmas collection, it's called Red Satin. I also used Winter Holly and a few of my striper brushes. Overall this was a pretty easy design, the only thing I would have done different is make the ribbons shorter so that the ornaments don't look so small.
