Snow Flakes

Hi girls!

Today I have some simple christmas nail art to show you guys - a snow flake manicure!


I started off with a blue base of piCture pOlish Cosmos (such a beautiful shade!). Afterwards I used the white stamping polish Mundo de Uñas White and MoYou London Festive Plate Collection 02 to stamp on the snow flakes.


This manicure can easily be worn in the other winter months as well.

Fancy Friday: Christmas Decorations

Hello ladies!

Today I have some Fancy Friday nail art to show you guys and the theme for this week is christmas decorations. That is why I decided to make a close-up of a christmas tree!

For the manicure I started off with a dark green base of Essie Going Incognito with the silver glitter Essie Set in Stones on top. Afterwards I used a small dotting tool and the metallic gold polish Essie Good as Gold to make the tinsels. Lastly I used a big dotting tool and white acrylic paint followed by the red shimmer polish piCture pOlish Bridget to make the ornaments.


I love how sparkly and festive this turned out!

Santa Claus

Hey guys!

Today I have some more christmas nail art I made for the Danish nail polish brand By K. to show you.
This time it is a Santa Claus manicure!

For the manicure I started off with a red base of By K. The Sky is the Limit on all my nails except for one of my two accent nails which I painted a skin color with By K. Pretty Nude.
For Santa Claus' head on my middle finger I applied the red By K. The Sky is the Limit to one third of the nail. Afterwards I used a dotting tool and white acrylic paint to dot on Santa's beard, sideburns and the white part of his hat. Lastly I added his eyes and mouth with a small brush and black acrylic paint and his nose with the pink By K. Camelia Rose and a small dotting tool.
For Santa Claus' suit on my ring finger I dotted on the white, fluffy part of it with a big dotting tool and white acrylic paint. Afterwards I painted of the belt with a small brush and black acrylic paint. Finally I used the bronze By K. Copper Heart and a small brush to paint on the belt buckle.


I think this is adorable!

Christmas Trees

Hi girls!

In November I made some christmas nail art for the Danish nail polish brand By K. and during December I will be showing them to you.
First up is a christmas tree manicure!

To make this christmas tree manicure I started off with a fuchsia base of By K. Pink Dahlia. For the nail art on my ring and middle finger I used some tape and the teal green glitter By K. Waterfall to make triangles resembling christmas trees. Afterwards I used the silver holographic glitter By K. Super Nova and an orange stick to place the glitters like tinsels on the christmas tress. Lastly I placed the gold star studs from Born Pretty Store (#5003) on top of the trees.


I really like how I used untraditional christmas colors and how this turned out really christmas-y anyway!

Fancy Friday: Lead Light

Hello ladies!

Today I have some Fancy Friday nail art to share with you guys.
Today the challenge is lead light, which is a technique by Messy Mansion, where you add color to your stamping design with sheer nail polishes.

For the manicure I started off with a white base of Essie Blanc on all my nails. Afterwards I stamped the floral design on my middle and ring finger with MoYou London Pro plate collection 07 and Mundo de Uñas black stamping polish. Then I colored in the stamping design with the sheer nail polishes OPI Sheer Tints: I'm Never Ambarassed (yellow), Be Magentale With Me (pink), Don't Violet Me Down (purple) and I Can Teal You Like Me (blue). To finish off the skittlette manicure I added the silver glitter China Glaze Fairy Dust to my little finger.


I like the sketchy style of this nail art.
