Hello lovelies & happy Monday! I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend. It’s after Remembrance Day here in Canada, which means it’s officially — well, in retail anyways — holiday season go time. The Christmas music is blaring, the red cups are being served, & I’m wearing 2-3 pairs of pants to work thanks to the cold weather. So maybe it’s okay to start creeping a bit more into Winter/Christmas nail art.
Today’s look I started simple with some more sweater inspired nails. This time, I wanted to go with a more winter-y colour scheme, so I picked a grey/blue polish combination–with a little bit of subtle shimmer for good measure.
The polishes I used for this manicure are:
- Base Coat: Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Colour Grip Primer Base Coat
- Top Coat: Seche Vive
- Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Thinking Out Cloud
- Sally Hansen MG Make it N-Ice
- Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Grey Area
- Born Pretty Store Christmas Stamping Plate (discontinued)
- Nailstuff.ca clear stamper & scraper set
The last time I used this particular stamping plate, I went with a red/silver theme, so it was nice to try something different. This is giving less Christmas, & more just Winter, & I like that. It definitely works for our current chilly days. Also, I really like that I switched things up a bit & went with the shimmer-y light base with a darker creme for stamping. Usually I do the opposite.
& if this was an actual Winter/Christmas sweater, I would totally wear it. I do love a good fair isle patterned sweater.
What do you think about this Winter-y sweater design? Do you like these kinds of designs?
Let me know all your thoughts in the comments below. I definitely have a few freehand design ideas floating around in my head (maybe a recreation of this design from 2017?) so stay tuned!
Have a beautiful start to your week loves! ♥︎
