Christmas 2015: Pink-ified Christmas Cheer

Welcome back!

I love red and green together, don't get me wrong. And I especially love them together at Christmas time. But after doing my nails nearly every day and with the same colors every time, I felt like I was running out of polishes to use, and I wanted to do something different. Then when I was looking around on Instagram and Pinterest, I saw several options for pink Christmas nails! These were inspired by @gabbysnailart on Instagram.

White: Essence Wild White Ways

Light Pink: Orly Color Blast Winter Blush

Dark Pink: Orly Color Blast Magical Voice

Silver Glitter: Pure Ice Pure Icicles

The glitter was actually painted on like regular polish here. The tree was done using a tape to create the shape, and then a fan brush and both pinks. The thumb has a snowflake over a gradient, which I did using a sponge. I used nail vinyls to create the lines for the candy cane stripes.

Christmas 2015: Trees

Welcome back!

These trees were a great, cute idea. They were festive, and people thought they were cute. Well, what they saw of them. The only problem is that they came off super quickly, because I wasn't able to top coat due to the flocking powder.

Cream: OPI My Vampire is Buff

Red: OPI Ro-Man-Ce On The Moon

Green: Sally Hansen Insta-Dri I-rush Luck

Glitter: Pure Ice Bling On The Holidays

Flocking Powder: Bundle Monster

Studs: Sally Beauty "Oh So Easy"

Stripping Tape: Amazon

For the trees, I put top coat on top of the base polish, and let it dry completely. Once it was dry, I used two pieces of tape and made a triangle shape. I painted it with a thick coat of green polish, and removed the tape immediately. Before the polish could dry, I dropped some flocking powder on it. To top the trees, I used some studs and stripping tape.
