20s Nails

These nails are for new years eye tomorrow, I'm going to a 20s themed event. I used striping tape to do these which took me forever because I hate it! I'm happy with how they came out but the index finger is a bit messy :/

Happy New Year :)

Drunk Reindeer

These are possibly my favourite nails ever. My drunken Reindeer's. I got the idea from another blog but changed it around a bit. You have the fatty with a bow tie, a reindeer caught up in fairy lights, Rudolph with a bauble hanging from his antlers, a reindeer with his head in a holly bush and the little upside down reindeer.

I've taken photos of all the different stages of these nails, first I painted the bodies of the reindeer,

Then began adding details like ears

Christmas Puddings

I painted Christmas puddings for Sarah last year but decided to paint them on myself this year. Her ones were glittery and pretty but just to make them a bit different these ones are plain.

Here's a link to last years nails, I'm not sure what way I prefer them. I do think my technique has got a lot better in these ones though, and the photos are clearly better!

Reindeers

Little reindeers with Rudolph in the middle :)

Some of them look a bit crazy as I couldn't find my biggest dotting tool for the eyes but they still look kind of cute.

Snowflakes

These nails literally took 5 minutes, probably why the lines are a bit thick. I like them though, especially the gold glittery base :)

Holly Nails

My first Christmas post of 2013 :)
These nails were quite simple but I rushed them so a little bit messy.

Good Hand

Bad hand

I added glitter to these because glitter is amazing and it makes everything more Christmassy, but it's another one where I think it maybe looked better without it.

My bad hand is also a lot better than the one painted with my good hand, standard Yasmin.
