Hello lovelies & happy December! We’re already three days into December, & that’s kind of crazy. & it’s feeling festive with our first bit of winter-y now (although it’s a snow/rain mix) so I guess Christmas is really coming. So naturally it felt like time to create some kind of Christmas nail art look to share with you — & what’s more Christmasy than red & green.
I wanted to create a look that was festive but I wasn’t sure what to do. These started out as some simple red & green nails, & kind of transformed from there. I ended up adding in some hints of pink as well, & I just love the whole look! Definite Christmas vibes.
The polishes I used for this manicure are:
- Base Coat: Sally Hansen Miracle Cure
- Top Coat: Sally Hansen InstaDri Top Coat (red bottle)
- Butter London Pure Colour 21X Nail Lacquer Branwen’s Pearls *PR
- Orly Color Blast Garnet Luxe Shimmer
- China Glaze Emerald Fitzgerald
- Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Wrapped in Love
- Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Living In The Presents
- NailStuff 11mm Mermaid Tail brush
How fun are these? Kind of gives a little bit of candy vibes — like ribbon candy, or a really fancy candy cane, or maybe just ribbon. The thought of adding like bows, to give the impression of ribbon, crossed my mind but I was scared I would ruin the whole look so maybe I can try again another time with added bows!
What do you think of these Christmas-y abstract stripes? Are you feeling the holiday vibes now & ready to rock some festive designs? Let me know all your thoughts in the comments below, & if you’re currently wearing something festive on your nails I want to know! I need all the holiday nail art inspiration I can get!
Enjoy your Wednesday!
