I have my last Christmas nail art of the season and more importantly it will be what I have on my nails on the big day!
This was a 'pinspired' design this week. This year I have seen lots of Christmas trees done with striping tape, so I was looking for something different and came across this pin. I loved it so much that I just had to have a go. Clicking through and reading the blog post about this I found out that it was inspired by another blogger as well, so it's really going around now!
I started off with two coats of Snow White from Models Own. This is a fab white polish. A bit streaky of first coat, but perfect in two. I then used Barry M Red Glitter, China Glaze Emerald Sparkle and Models Own Bora Bora to create my dots. Using different the two different end of my dotting tool for the large and medium dots and then end of a cuticle stick for the tiny dots. I repeated this pattern on all my nails, but left my ring finger free for my Christmas tree. For the tree I started by dotting Emerald Sparkle in a single dot in the centre of my nail just below the cuticle. Then two dots at the tip of my nail to create a triangle pattern. I then filled in the rest of the tree with some extra green dots. I then added three Red Glitter dots for baubles and three Bora Bora dots for tinsel. The star had to be something a bit special so I added a yellow gem to sparkle away at the top of the tree. Then came the tricky part... Top coating without causing drag on the dots over the white! And look... It worked!!!!!!! Yay!!
I love how festive this manicure is and what was even better was that it was so simple! I also did some nail art for my mum and sister as well...
A fancy swirly tree for my mum and snowflake for my sister.
I hope you all like my Christmas tree dotticure and have a very Merry Christmas x
