well I couldn't do a christmas nail month without painting some snowmen..
so here's my latest festive offering; frosty the snowman eat your heart out!
I decided to just paint one nail today and have some snowflakes thrown in as well, but you can paint as many as you like! I think I'm going to try out some christmas tree nails at the weekend (earlier this week I went to buy a real tree and decided that I had to include them in my xmas nail party!)
so here is the basic step by step you can follow!
first off I painted a base of beth's blue from models own and then got out my nail art pens for the following details..
that's it folks!
hope some of you try them! (I've loved seeing your penguins & reindeer's pictures so far!!)
back soon gang!

here's my next festive nail art instalment.. some little penguins!
not as difficult to paint as my last set reindeer nails but equally cute I think these are an easier option if you want to get your christmas on but don't want to spend an age painting your nails!
I did these really quickly so they're not as neat as I would have liked; the overall effect is still pretty cool and I definitely recommend giving these a go!
I've photographed the basic steps to help you along..
paint a black base coat, I've used models own black magic.
once it dried I painted on the white belly with models own snow white and added two eyes!
now you need to use a dotting tool or nail art pens in black and yellow.
use the black to add two circles to finish off the eyes, using the yellow add a small triangle for the beak and two little feet.
seal with top coat... voila penguin nails!
back again with more christmas nail art so follow me & stay tuned for more tutorials!
ho ho ho :D

woooop! the christmas tree is up, my xmas shopping list has finally been written and it's high time I delivered on those festive nails I've been promising..
here's the first instalment.. mini reindeer's!
I think they're the cutest nails ever... I wanted to show you how to do them too!
here's the basic steps:

paint a pale pink base coat; I used models own pastel pink.
take a light beige/brown (I used models own slate grey here) and draw on a circle this is your reindeer face. next add to teeny dots either side for the ears.
using a fine brush lightly draw on the antlers with a darker brown.
this is the main part complete.. the next stage is the finishing touches!

use a white nail art pen to draw two little ovals for the eyes.
use a black nail art pen to add pupils and draw on the reindeer noses at the nail tip! (make one reindeer nose red- this one is rudolph of course!)
to finish add two dots of pink polish for reindeer cheeks plus a little dot of white on the nose to suggest shine!
leave to dry and add lots of top coat to seal!
......taaaa daaaaah festive rudolph the reindeer nails!
I hope you all like them!! I'm aiming to post my '12 nails of christmas' so check back for another festive mani soon!
