Light Of My Life- Christmas Lights Design

Hello everyone! Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday's, today we will be creating another Christmas nail design, last week we made candy canes on our nails, for this week we will make Christmas lights on our nails. I was planning on doing one more Christmas nail design, then I realized that this Monday is Christmas, so I will only be doing these two designs.

 

Christmas Light Nail Design

Here are the polishes and nail art tools used for this nail design:

Base and top coat - CND Stickey Base Coat and Revlon Extra Life No Chip top coat.

Nail polishes- Emily De Molly- Everlasting Gaze, Cirque- Madder, Color Club Halo's- Harp on, Zoya- Dream, and Zoya- Urban Grunge-Merida. 

Acrylic paint- white and black 

Nail art brushes- two small thin detail brushes.

Other- small jar with acetone to clean off brushes and a small cup of water to also clean off brushes.

Let's start this bright and festive nail design!

 

 Christmas Light Nail Design

Start off with a thin layer of base coat.

Let your base coat dry, then polish a turquoise green holographic polish on your nails, I used  a new polish that I just purchased not to long ago called Emily De Molly- Everlasting Gaze.  

One your base polish has dried we wills start to make the Christmas lights on all of the nails. Take a thin detail brush, with black paint on it (I used two different once, one for just paint and the other for polish.) Start on the thumb and going all the way to the pinky nail make a squiggly line, on one nail I did add a loop. 

After you make the squiggly lines, make some small squares to hold the bulbs in place, on each nail I made two to three small squares.

Then for the bulbs I first made the shape with white paint and then went over that with different colored polishes, once the white paint had dried. Also make sure to make attach the bulbs to the small squares. I used a red, green, blue and silver polish, you can use the same colors or different ones it is up to you, I just thought I would go with some Christmas type colors. 

Just for some small detail, once your bulbs have dried you can make small white line to show a reflection of light on the bulbs, this is optional if you want to skip this step that is okay, I just did this for more detail.

Once your bright and colorful Christmas light nail design has dried apply a top coat to seal in your design and to make it even more shinny, to where it all most looks like it will light up. 

Hope all of you enjoyed this bright and colorful Christmas light nail design!

Have a wonderful Christmas/ Happy Holiday and a safe and Happy New Years!

See you next time for more nail fun!  

Candy Cane Lane

Hello everyone! Hope all of you are enjoying the winter weather, if you live in a cold environment like myself. If you are anything like me then, no you are not enjoying the cold snowy weather. Anyways seeing how Christmas is quickly approaching, this week we will be making candy canes on our nails, and not just any candy cane with plain white polish and plain red, we will be using a silver and red polish with some holo in it, because what better way then to use holo polish, besides it looks more festive.

    

 Candy Cane Nail Design

Here are the polishes and tools used for this festive nail design, and yes this design only needs a few things!

 

Base and Top coat- CND Stickey Base Coat and Revlon Extra Life No Chip top coat.

Nail polishes-  OPI Holiday 2017- Ornament to Be Together and Cirque- Madder.

Nail art tools- just some nail art tape.

Other- scissors and tweezers to take off the tape (Items not show above)

That's all you need!

Let's get this fun and yummy candy cane nail design started!

  

Candy Cane Nail Design

Start off with a thin layer of base coat, my fav is CND Stickey base coat.

Let that dry, then polish all of your nails with a silver polish that has some holo in it. The polish I used is Ornament to Be Together from OPI, this polish is part of their new holiday collection for 2017. This silver polish has a subtle amount of holo in compared to most holos that I have. 

Once your base color of silver has dried, take your nail art tape and cut it into small pieces and place them on an angle on the nail, so that it will look like a candy cane.

At the tip of the nail, polish that area with a red holo polish, then the next area leave that silver. Repeat this for each part, to where every other part is red (as shown in the photo above.)

Grab your tweezers and right away, make sure your red polish does not dry and peel off the nail art tape that you placed on the nails. Doing this right away will help to keep your lines looking clean and straight.  

Repeat all of the steps above for all of your nails, or on my other hand I did things a little different. 

 

 Candy Cane Nail Design

If you only want a few nails with the candy cane design on it you can just do the design on two nail, the thumb and ring finger nail (like the photo above), or even just as a accent nail, the ring finger nail.

Once you have your candy cane nails the way you like, apply a top coat to seal in your design and to make your holo candy canes even more shinny. 

Hope you enjoyed this simple holiday nail design!

See you next time for more nail fun! 

Next week we have another Christmas nail design!   

     

Snowy Christmas

Hello everyone! Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday's! Anyone have any fun plains for the holiday's? I'm am just doing the same old same old, just going to visit family near by, no fun trips for me, which would be awesome! Anyways today we will be creating a winter/ snowy Christmas scene,or this could just be a winter scene minus the Christmas trees.

 

 Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! 

Here are the polishes and nail art tools use for this design: 

Base and top coat- Revlon Extra Life No Chip top coat and CND Stickey Base Coat.

Nail Polishes- Zoya- Dream, Zoya- Urban Grunge- Alicia, Snowman rainbow glitter- frosty, and Funky Fingers- As If (for the stars in the polish.)

Acrylic paint- white paint

Nail art tools- a thin stripper brush

Other- a glass jar (or a cup) with water in it to clean off your nail art brush, and a toothpick to pick up the glitter.


Let's start this snowy Christmas design! 

  Snow covered Christmas tree on the index finger nail.

As always start off with a thin layer of base coat to protect your nails.

Then paint all of your nails with a holographic or a glittery/ shimmery blue polish, I used Zoya Dream. This polish I thought went perfect for the winter snowy theme because the scattered holo looks like snow. 

 

* For this design we will be creating it on three of the nails, the index, middle, and ring finger nail, the thumb and pinky nail will just stay plain blue, well holo blue. 

Once that has dried, on the tips of the three nails app a sliver holographic or glitter shimmer polish, this is for the snow on the ground. I sponged this on but once I did that I felt like that was not completely necessary, you can just polish the silver part. You may need to go over this three time to be opaque enough.

Once that has dried we will start to make our trees. On the ring and index finger nail we will make one large tree on the sides of the nail. On the middle we will make two trees a medium and a small size tree next to each other.

For all of the trees with white acrylic paint and a stripper brush make a long line, then small arrow lines starting from the top, each smaller line should be just a little bit longer then the last line to form a tree. On each of those lines I put a few smaller lines on the ends to give it kind of a pine tree look to it.

 Snow covered Christmas tree on the ring finger nail.

Once that has dried, the trees on the index and ring finger nail we will make into Christmas trees. This is done by taking a rainbow glitter polish, and with a toothpick picking out the glitter polish, just a few pieces and placing them on the tree like ornaments. 

Now to add the star on top. If you have a glitter polish with stars in it you can place it on top of the tree just like the ornaments, by fishing it out of your polish with a toothpick.  If you don't have a polish with star glitters in it, you can always use the same glitter that you placed on the tree.

 

 Snow covered tress on the middle finger nail.

For your middle finger nail design, you can leave this one with no glitter ornaments or you can have all of your trees be decorated, it is up to you.

 

    Final Snowy Christmas Nail Design

Once everything has tried apply a top coat to protect and seal in your design. 

 

    The Christmas colored polishes on my right hand 

Just for fun on my right hand I decided to keep things simple and just paint my nails with some Christmas colored polishes. If you have trouble painting a design on your other hand this can also be an alternative to doing a design, or if you just fell like doing a design on one hand, and who cares if your nail don't really match that's the fun part about doing your nails!

 

Here are the polishes I used on my right hand Zoya- Amal- Matte Velvet (I applied a glossy top coat for a shinny look.), Zoya- Urban Grunge- Merida, and Zoya- Urban Grunge- Alicia (as an accent nail.)

Hope all of you have a wonderful Holiday/ Christmas! No matter what Holiday you celebrate hope it a great one and filled with bright and fun nails! Also of course enjoy time with all of your families and friends! 

See you next time for more nail fun!
