N.A.I.L Linkup: Santa

Hello lovelies!

I'm back and it should be for good this time! Things got pretty hectic with school but yesterday was my last day of classes. I have a few final projects due next week and I haven't really been painting my nails much so I need to get on that, but I'm back!

So, onto the nails!

More Christmas nail art!

Here's what I used:


I feel like Santa inspired nail art is one of the most obvious ideas when it comes to holiday manicures but surprisingly, I think this is the first one I've ever painted. I came across these adorable little Santa cozies and used that as my inspiration.

These nails started with two coats of Brave At Heart (I probably could have used a third). When that dried, I used Storm and brush from the bottle to paint his belt. Finally, with my detail brush I added on the mustache and belt buckle. Everything was sealed in with a layer of HK Girl.

I love how cute these turned out! It's nice to be back to blogging and back to painting my nails. I finally had the chance to sit down and paint a design on both of my hands, and it made me realize how much I miss having the time to dedicate to nail art! I think I know what I'll be doing over Winter Break (:

Thanks for reading guys!

  1. Adorable! I really like your base red. It's more interesting than a flat red polish.
