God Jul!

I've already done two Christmas designs (you can see them here) to celebrate it during last week of term, but now when Christmas is really approaching, and my fingers were covered in a more generic design, it was time to do a new one.

The little Santa you can see to the right has become a given one, and I also suspect that my Grandpa will love it. It's not too hard to make, apart from the belt with the buckle. All the details were done with a cocktail stick (as usual).

Now, I couldn't have Santa on all nails, so I decided to opt for white and golden pattern. On three of the remaining 8 nails I made an attempt for big snowflakes. They're not as good as the ones Gema did, but they turned out better than my previous attempt. On the other nails I went for various patterns of golden dots, which had varying result. If I did it again I would probably opt for a golden and silver snowfall, similar to the winter design linked previously.

I've got some plans for New Years Eve, so I will be back once those are done. Until then, Merry Christmas!

Feliz Navidad ^_^

Charlotte has done a fantastic range of christmassy nails!

So the pressure was on to try my hand (no pun intended) at christmas designs. 

-Snowflakes-

I received some christmas presents early and someone who loves me very much bought me some amazing holographic nail polishes. They are incredible.

On my sister I used a holographic blue polish as the background/base coat and then added a snow flake design on top of it. Am happy with the overall effect that is given and love the glimmers of hologram that peek through the snowflakes.

On myself  I liked the idea of christmas lights, so I used a holographic nude/golden polish as the background/base coat and then added the christmas lights in neon green, yellow and red.

Hope you have a Merry Christmas! ^_^

Christmas

As the Swede I am, I really missed a proper winter in the December London. Solution? Create winter on your nails. I found the snowman design online, but it then had a silver background. I used silver for one hand, but think that dark blue turned out better. In order to make the snow I used mainly white but then added a few flakes where I'd mixed silver and white for a softer touch.

Approaching end of term, and hence a number of Christmas events, I started elaborating with holiday designs. I went through two - one a bit more subtle than the other. Picking a favourite is up to you!
