Santa Hat Nail Art

I used my Milani 3D manicure as a base and did some cute Santa hat nail art over it.

My inspiration came from Set In Lacquer. She even has a great tutorial if you would like to try this yourself.  I decided against doing the snowflake dots around the hat just because my nails are shorter, so I thought it might look cluttered.

The polishes I used for this were LA Colors Nail Art White, OPI Color To Diner For, Milani 3D, OPI Alpine Snow, Sinful Colors Nail Art Pretty Cool.

Christmas Lights Nail Art

Let's get one thing straight here...I don't have a creative bone in my body. lol. When I am thinking of nail art, my brain goes something like this, "Hmmm...Christmas lights.........Uhhhhh...." So, that is why I love blogs and Pinterest to give me inspiration when I do get an idea, but don't know how to execute it.

Anyways, I saw this post on Just Another Polish Addiction and thought that it was a super cute mani and something that I could actually do myself. I decided to go with more sparkly colors because I wanted it to look like the lights were twinkling. I realized I don't have too many colored glitters in my stash...That will have to be changed!

I really liked how this turned out. The only thing I would have changed is the purple polish, but oddly enough I couldn't find anything purple and glittery. The end result was pretty much exactly what I was going for. I wish more of the sparkle would show up in the pics, but that always happens.

Colors used: OPI Your Royal Shine-ness, Etude House BL019, Essie Leading Lady, China Glaze Flying Dragon, China Glaze Running In Circles, and LA Colors Black striping polish.
