Green Glitter Ombre


I hope everyone had a great and merry Christmas.  I know my family and I did.  I had one more piece of Christmas nail art to show you, but in the hustle and bustle of Christmas I forgot to take a picture of it and then changed it yesterday.  Oops!  Anyway it was just some Christmas colored stripes and dots that looked nice, but particularly epic.  For my first mani after a month of Christmas themes, I choose a simple neon green glittery ombre.  I used Pure Ice's Wild Thing for the base then added a thin layer of Nailene Glitter top coat (It came with a french tip set so it doesn't really have cool name, but it does have iridescent glitter:).  Next I added some L.A. Colors Jewel Tones but not quite as far up the nail.  Finally I used NYC Starry Silver Glitter to do just the tips.  I went back over the tips with the glitter top coat to give them a bit more bling, then all done.  They are very simple but I think they have a nice look about them.

Nativity Nails

I was so excited about doing a nativity scene on my nails for Christmas. Since Christmas is all about the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ. I had the idea to do a silhouette but had not seen one yet. Once I completed the nativity, though, I wasn't really sure what to do on the rest of my nails. I wound up putting the star of Bethlehem on my thumb, then a candy cane on the index finger, Christmas tree on the middle finger, and a wreath and bow on my pinky. I wasn't really thrilled with how some of those turned out and unfortunately they chipped really quickly this week, so I don't have a picture of the others. But I was pretty proud of the nativity. Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!


Merry Christmas everyone!  There is nail art inspiration all around this time of year.  I will show you a couple of the designs I have tried out so far.  There are so many that I want to do.  Looking on Pinterest, there are so many creative ideas.  Hope you enjoy!
