Winter Nails #2

Well, I didn't get as many nail art ideas as I wanted to do... I just get too tired and exhausted anymore. I had some time last night and I made myself do my nails just because I had to have something for Christmas! Hopefully they last that long... Since I didn't get to all the ones I wanted to do, I just kind of combined all of my ideas into one. The candy cane striping didn't turn out exactly as I had wanted... My brushes just aren't that good. I'll need some new ones. But the middle finger turned out the best for the striping! At least I got 1 out of 5! :)

The thumb is just little snowflakes. Then there is a Santa hat, holly, a snowman and a Santa belt. I had wanted to do some art with all holly berries and a winter scene with the snowman and trees. Oh well, another time. 

So I started with my new favorite base, the Sally Hanson Triple Shine-Great White. The candy tips are Sally Hanson-White On and ELF-Red-y-or not. I used the same red for all of the red, same with the white. Those are the major ones anyways. I forgot to look and see what the blue for the scarf was. Well that's all for now. I doubt I'll get any more art in until after Christmas so Merry Christmas!!

Winter Nails - Number 1

Well, it's that time. Time for a ton of winter/Christmas themed nail posts! I need to make a list of the ones I want to do. It helps with the motivation. Being 7 months pregnant makes doing nails difficult. I can only sit for so long before I just start to hurt. So here is this weeks nail art!

As I said about not being able to sit for too long... That's what happened when I got to the snowflakes on the pinky nail, so just ignore that one. :)

Sorry about the terrible lighting on this last picture... The base is Sally Hanson Triple Shine - Great White, my new favorite polish! I sponged Sally Hanson - White On onto the tips, even thought you can't see it very well, then I added Sinful Colors - Ice Dream to the tips. It was the first time using the Ice Dream. It's actually really pretty. I usually don't use a lot of glitter or blue colors, but this one I really liked. It has the big blue glitters and the rest is tiny silver glitter. It is very glittery! I did the snowflakes with a white nail art pen. It has a very fine brush which I need to find. None of my brushes are that fine. So anyways, I like how these turned out for the most part. They definitely look wintery.
