N.A.I.L Linkup: Snowflakes

Hello lovelies!

Can you believe that it's already Christmas Eve? Where did the time even go? I haven't wrapped any of the presents I bought yet.....crap. Blah, anyways, if you do celebrate do any of you do anything special today? Some of my family and I usually get together to have dinner and exchange some presents early but I got stuck with the closing shift at work today, so we did our dinner last Saturday and will do presents tomorrow. I'd love to hear what you do with your families though! And if you don't celebrate, what are your plans for today?

I have some nail art for you guys too!

This is my last holiday / winter-y manicure for the year. I counted and this makes for the sixteenth winter time manicure this month, which compared to the four I posted last year, that's a lot haha!

Here's what I used:

One of the themes for this month's N.A.I.L Linkup is snowflakes, which I've already done once this year. I wanted to try something different and decided to recreate this pattern that had bright snowflakes!

These nails started with two coats of African Violet (I always forget that this polish really does need a third coat. Reviewed here) and a layer of HK Girl. Then using my striping brush and the different acrylic paints, I added on the snowflakes. I felt that there was a lot of empty space on some of my nails so I added in the dots with a dotting tool (not pictured.) Everything was sealed in with another layer of HK Girl.

I have no idea what to write for a "conclusion" right now.....uhm, I was on a roll writing and then I realized that it's after four am and I have to be up in five hours for work. Welp, guess who's probably going to try and squeeze in a coffee stop before work....Anyways, I liked these nails. The snowflakes are pretty and I could manage this on both hands! I hope you like them!

Thanks for reading guys!
