Abominable Snowman Nails

As you know, December is already half way over. Most of my holiday designs have been very simple, and even plain in my opinion. Before I run out of December I wanted to squeeze in a couple more intricate designs. I decided to do one tonight. And the one that I chose to do was Bumble, the abominable snowman from the Rudolph movies.

Here is a picture of him, in case you've never seen Rudolph


I only chose to do Bumble on my thumbs. On the rest of my nails I chose to do a magnetic polish with a few snowflakes.
They're adorable right ? Yes they are. I love them !

Winter/Christmas Nails: Snowflakes

I did this design rather quickly a couple days ago. I needed something to get me to the weekend. I decided to do snowflakes, because they're Christmas-y, and cute.

How to get the look, 
I painted my nails white, heavily sponged on some blue, added a layer of iridescent glitter, painted light gray snowflakes first, then went over the gray with white, leaving a very tiny gray outline to the snowflakes (i felt that would make them stand out more), then finally added small white dots in the empty areas. I also decided to add rhinestones.

Here is the design,
 

Polishes Used, 
1. Jordana - White
2. Pure Ice - Bikini
3. Shades of the Season - No Name Glitter

Christmas Character Nails

I have been really busy lately, and have not been doing much nail art. However, I got back into gear, and have a couple new designs to post. The first being this Christmas character design I did about a week ago. The characters being: Santa, Rudolph, a penguin, a gingerbread man, and a snowman. I thought these were really adorable, and I loved them.

Here they are,

Let me just say, I made on change to these after I photographed them. That change was the eyes of the gingerbread man, I covered the black pupils with white. So the eyes were completely white. The black pupils were a little creepy. Haha.
