Merry Christmas Eve!

I've been wanting to do winter pine cone nails for awhile. I just love the look of frosted pine cones on wreaths and used for decoration. I painted and dipped pine cones last year and have a few hanging up around my house all year long!






They aren't the best pine cones ever, but the idea is there! I actually really liked how it turned out. Then I really didn't like it, but it's growing on me again. :) The thumb nail is my favorite. Overall it looks Christmas-y.

Christmas nails

I wish I had more time to do detailed nails, but unless I wanted to stay up past midnight to do them, I just have to make do with really simple designs. Like this one. I've seen it floating around Pinterest and Facebook and it looked easy enough to me!


Sorry for the awful lighting. I forgot to take a couple pictures at home, so I had to snap one quick at the office. I'm spacing on all the names, but they are all Sally Hanson polishes. The base is the shimmery Triple Shine in two coats. The silvery glitter is Sinful Colors. I added a holo-ish glitter to the tree to kind of look like lights. It's hard to see though. If I had Fairy Dust by China Glaze I think, that would have worked better! I've always loved the look of that polish, but I've never seen it to buy it. 

Hopefully I'll get some time to do another Christmas design before Christmas is over!
