Day 62 - DIY winter nails

The elves are working hard to sort out presents and decorations for Christmas, but I thought I'd take some time out and do something...less productive. I used a base coat of metallic blue, which is very pale and sparkly, I drew white snowdrops with a fine brush and waited for it to dry. The snowman is a series of dots using white, black and orange, very simple but actually quite effective. I'm sure there will be more festive nails but for now I'm happy with this (though it is only on one hand.)

Day 32 - DIY halloween nails

I love dressing up, making costumes and painting faces, I hope I never get too old for that. For Halloween, or rather for All Hallows we are throwing a little party. I'm sure there will be a number of festive posts over the next week as I prepare. First up, dark stripey nails, I used a deep red for the base and a very thin brush to paint the black stripes. All you really need for this is a steady hand and patience. I think stripes is a good place to start, I think I'll try adding a spiderweb next week...
