Day 12: A Chistmas DIY

Say Hi to Ruddy!

Today I have decided that my Christmas DIY is going to be a nail art tutorial-more specifically a Rudolph the Reindeer accent nail.

 

First I painted my nails in Maybelline Colour Show Downtown Red except for my accent nail which I painted with Sally Hansen Cappuccino Creme. 

 Then I used the red again to dot the nose on and Barry M White to make two dots for the eyes.

Finally I put two smaller black dots in the white ones, a curved white line on the nose to make it look shiny and used a pencil to draw on little black antlers with my Barry m black polish.
To finish it off I painted all my nails with a clear top coat and then sat and admired them rather than doing my maths homework :)

Melting Ice Cream Nails

I got the idea here after seeing it on Shay Mitchell's Instagram (I'm obsessed with Pretty Little Liars) but I just made a couple of changes because I didn't think I'd have steady enough hands to paint them all with ice creams! So after my English exam I went home and rather than revising for my next exam, I did my nails. Good choice Katie.

The base colour I used was Essie Crewed Interest and the others were nail pens and random nail varnishes, I only wish I had  a lighter brown as the one I used was a bit too dark.

Send me a picture or link me to a post if any of you try this out, I'd love to see it!
