Nailvent 23.12.12

Hey everyone. Today's nail post is so easy to create and I'd love to know your opinions on it!

*The colours in the picture aren't quite right - sorry!*

Anyway, to start off with I painted the entire nail with a gold polish. I then used a dark green polish to create the bow. For this I painted to large circles and then made the corners a bit sharper. I then put a large blob of red polish on the nail to create the centre of the bow. Finally I painted the entire nail with a glitter topcoat.

Hiya everyone! Today's Nailvent is called: Twinkling Fairy Lights. I got the inspiration for this look from Pinterest.

For this nail art I painted all of my nails with a creamy pinky colour. I then used small piece of black cotton and placed it on the nail while the polish was still wet. I then used a dotting tool and some darker festive coloured polishes to create the lights. I finally finished by painting the nail with a topcoat.

Hi everyone!

Here's today's nail for my advent series. It's called : Snow Is Falling... Unfortunately it's not snowing here where I live but I don't think it will be long until it does!!  *fingers crossed*

For this look I painted the entire nail with a pale blue. I then used a white polish and a dotting tool to create the snow piled up on the tip of the nail. I then used a smaller dotting tool with the same polish and created the scattered 'snow' all over the nail. Finally I used a glitter polish to give the illusion of even more snow.
