Rudolph Charm

Hey guys!

Today I have some more Christmas nail art to share with you featuring a Rudolph charm.

For the manicure I started off with a dark green base of Barry M Black Pistachio on all my nails (I left the top third of the nail naked on my ring finger). Afterwards I added the Rudolph charm to my ring finger.

I got these Rudolph charms as a Christmas present from Milena of Nail That Design last year and I finally got the chance to use them!

More Christmas Ornaments

Hey guys!

I recently shared this DIY project with you - Christmas ornaments made with nail polish.
Today I have some more ornaments to share with you!

To get started you need some plain glass ornaments and a lot of nail polish.
I found my glass ornament at the Danish hobby store Panduro.

When making these nail polish Christmas ornaments, I always start off by pouring some nail polish inside the ornament and turning it around until the entire inside of the ornament is covered. Then I decorate it on the outside of the ornament.

First up I have these Christmas trees.
I swirled around the red polish L'Oréal Exquisite Red on the inside of the ornament with a Q-tip to create the swirled effect. On the outside I applied cut out triangles of different green polishes to create the Christmas trees.

Next up I have this snowflake ornament.
I used China Glaze White on White on the inside of the ornament. On the outside I stamped the snowflakes with MoYou London Festive 02 stamping plate and Essie Penny Talk.

Next I have this cute snowmen ornament.
I created the same swirl effect as with the Christmas tree ornament using a Q-tip and the blue Barry M Blue Sky on the inside of the ornament. On the outside of the ornament I freehanded the snowmen with different colored polishes and a small nail art brush.

And here it is from another angle!

Lastly I have another Christmas tree ornament.
For this one I started off with the white glitter Dance Legend Dotty Top on the inside of the ornament. Then I freehanded the trees using the dark green polish Barry M Black Pistachio and the white polish Essence Wild White Ways on the outside of the ornament.

And that's it! What do you guys think about these nail polish Christmas ornaments!

Christmas Presents

Hey guys!

Today I have some more Christmas nail art to share with you - Christmas presents!
This is inspired by my own design from last year!

For the manicure I stamped different Christmas designs from the MoYou London Festive 06 plate in different colors. On the pointer I used the blue Deborah Lippmann Blue Orchid stamped with the silver Essie No Place Like Chrome, on my middle finger I used the red Essie Head Mistress stamped with the gold Essie Good as Gold, on my ring finger I used the green Deborah Lippmann She Drives Me Crazy stamped with the white Essence Wild White Ways, and on my pinky finger I used the white Essence Wild White Ways stamped with the red By K. Oy-Mak. To finish the present I used striping tape in different colors.

This is seriously one of my favourite Christmas designs!

Glitter Gradient

Hey guys!

Today I have my entry for the @essienordics competition on Instagram to share with you!
This manicure is really special to me, because it is the exact manicure I wore to my high school prom (as you can see in this ancient blog post).

For the manicure I started off with a royal blue base of Essie Mezmerised on all my nails. Afterwards I applied the silver glitter Essie Set in Stones in a gradient design.

Christmas Trees

Hey guys!

Today I have some more simple christmas nail art to share with you - christmas trees inspired by @nailsbyjema!

For the manicure I started off with a white base of China Glaze White On White on all my nails. Afterwards I water marbled with the three green shades Essie Going Incognito, Essie Ruffles and Feathers, and Essie Mojito Madness. When the water marble was completely dry, I cut it out in triangles and applied it to my nails to resemble christmas trees. To finish everything off I applied a star stud on top of the trees.

Close up!

Even though this did not turn out perfect, I like it!

Candy Cane

Hey guys!

Afterwards I stamped in the candy cane design with MoYou London Festive 06 stamping plate and the textured, red polish OPI Magazine Cover Mouse - I also had to fill in the design with some more of OPI Magazine Cover Mouse to make it completely opaque.

This did not turn out as I imagined it in my head.
