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!

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!!

1st Post! Some old art

Hey there! My name is Kerah and this is my first ever post! I mostly wanted to create a blog so I had a place to keep all of my nail art pictures. I have tons saved on my phone and I just needed to do something different, so I took the blog plunge!

This first design is one from Christmas. It was my first really detailed art. I don't have a fancy camera and some of my pictures don't have exactly the right lighting, but I'm just starting out and I take pictures on my phone so....

    

So, as I said, not the best picture and, as I'm sure you can tell, it's not the best art either. I did most of this with a toothpick as I did not have brushes yet. I can only hope to get better from here!
