Red and white stamping nail art

Hi,
Today I'll show you another Christmassy manicure and for this one I chose the classic Christmas colours, red and white. I started with two coats of Melkior - Art Red and then I stamped the ribbon and the snowflake from Konad's m59 image plate. I finished with clear top coat for some extra shine and protection. Simple as that, what do you think?

Christmas nail art

Hi,
Merry Christmas Eve everyone! I wanted to quickly show you the manicure I'm going to wear for the holidays. I decided to go for green nails this year and for this I applied two coats of Avon - Noir Emerald. Then I took out all my collection of studs and rhinestones and combined them all so as to create some Christmas ornaments. I sealed them in using Seche Vite top coat. What do you think? What are you wearing on your nails this Christmas?

OPI The Nutcracker and the Four Realms - Snowflakes manicure

Hi,
Today I'll show you a manicure that I created using two nail polishes from the OPI's new collection The Nutcracker and the Four Realms: March in uniform and Tinker, Thinker, Winker. I started with two coats of the dark blue and one coat of the holographic top coat. As you can see, a single coat added a lot of holo particles on my nails, it's really intense. Then I stamped the snowflakes from Born Pretty's Christmas L002 stamping plate using special stamping nail polish in the shade Pure. I finished with Seche Vite top coat for some extra shine. What do you think?

Snowflakes nail art

Hi,
Today I'll show you my first winter themed nail art that I created this year. I used my favourite blue nail polish, Essence - 180 It's raining men. Above it I added some holographic top coat only on the tips of the nails. I stamped the snowflakes from Born Pretty's Christmas series staming plate L002 using white stamping polish from the same brand (shade Pure). I finished with Seche Vite top coat. What do you think?

Christmas manicure

Hi,
Christmas Eve is almost here so I want to send you all the good thoughts and wishes. May the holidays bring you peace and lots of love. I hope that you enjoy the magic of Christmas with your dear ones and you realise that it's the most precious gift you could have asked for. 
Now let me show you the manicure I'm going to wear for Christmas. This year I opted for red and silver, which is a new colour combination for me. I decided to go with water decals, as I found some really pretty ones on Born Pretty store. I applied something different on each nail, so that I created an entire story on my nails. I finished with Seche Vite top coat for some extra shine and protection. What do you think?
I'd love to hear what are you wearing on your nails this Christmas, so please don't hesitate to share your ideas with me!

If you still haven't painted your nails for Christmas yet, you still have plenty of time. If you're searching for some fun & easy freehand nail art ideas, check my Christmas manicures from the last years. I'll also attach some pictures of my all time favourites below.

Christmas nails with Madam Glam nail polishes

Hi,
Today I'll show you another Christmas design I created with just a few nail polishes, a painting brush and an eye catchy 3D decoration. I used some gorgeous Madam Glam nail polishes which I'll tell you more about below and El Corazon - Matte Effect  #145 Neon on my index finger. The snowflake decoration is from a Christmas 3D decorations set from Born Pretty store.
 
 
These Madam Glam beauties have just arrived a few days ago, just in perfect time for Christmas. The shades I have here are - from left to right - Such a star, Snow White, Hottie Me and More Diamonds Please. I love all of them but I cannot help but mention that Snow White is the most opaque white nail polish I have ever tried after just one coatSo yes, definitely love it the most! See it for yourself in the pictures below if you don't believe me. No clear top coat.

Christmas sweater nail art

Hi,
Christmas is only a few days away, so holiday inspired designs already appeared on my nails for a while now. Unfortunately, I just didn't have the time to photograph and post all the manicures I've been wearing, but here's one which I hope you'll like. I started with two coats of El Corazon - Matte Nail Polish #125 (White) and then I stamped the sweater designs from MoYou London's Festive Collection 04 image plate. The nail polishes used for stamping were Rimmel - Highland and the new blue stamping polish from Born Pretty store. I also used Born Pretty's jelly stamper head which you can find here on their website. I finished with clear top coat on all nails. What do you think?

Christmas Minion Nails

Hi,
Today I'll show you my Christmas version of the minions from Despicable Me. For this manicure you need yellow, red, white, black and silver nail polish, two dotting tools (both a small and a big one), a very thin brush and a loooot of patience. 
I started by painting all my nails two coats of yellow nail polish and then, using a brush, I created the red costume. After that, I completed it using the white nail polish. I applied it with the small dotting tool on the cap and with the thin brush on the top. Then, using the bigger dotting tool dipped into white polish, I created the eye. I outlined it with silver polish and then I created the small, black dot in the middle. With black nail polish and the thin brush, I created the other details and finally, I applied a generous amount of clear top coat. 
What do you think? Would you try them?
