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!

Christmassy Santa Nails and Primark Nail Art Brushes

After I got home from the German Market on Friday I decided to  paint my nails all christmassy :)

On my thumb I did Santa's face, on my middle finger I did his jacket and on my little finger I did his hat, then the rest were plain red. 

I used some new nail art brushes that I picked up in Primark whilst I was out, there were 10 in a pack for £3.

As you can see I have already managed to get nail varnish all up the 2 on the right doing my Santa nails. 

The set comes with 1 fan brush, 4 long thin ones in varying lengths and then 5 normal brushes in varying widths and lengths. Plus each brush comes with a protective cover.

Have you got anything christmassy on your nails?
