So today I attempted Christmas tree nails, and I love the result!
They
were so simple to achieve (though a little time consuming), and they just
make me feel so festive! I saw the idea for these on Pinterest and knew
that I would have to give them a go.
I used Missha Lucid polish in a light glittery cream for the base, and Revlon's Matte Suede in Emerald City (933) for the tree.
Unfortunately
I didn't have gold stars, so I used holographic silver for the tree toppers (which were very difficult to capture on film). I used gold hex glitter and a
holographic red/green hex glitter for the baubles. It's difficult to
tell from the photos but the red/green glitter is so funky, it's
transparent red when not in direct light but bright glittery green when
the light hits it.
Of course I put on every individual piece of glitter on with a toothpick, that was definitely the most time consuming part.
I topped it all off with 3 coats of Seche Vite. (Which is new and which I love! Wow I feel like a real nail blogger now... :P)
All
in all lots of fun to do and I'm super pleased with the result. I have
some more thoughts for Christmas nails over the coming weeks so stay
tuned for some more funky festive nail art soon!
