The past couple months have been much busier than usual. Between school, an online course, Christmas, and the arrival of my niece, nails have kind of been put on the back burner. When I did get a chance to do my nails, they were unsuccessful design or didn't photograph well. Perhaps one day I'll post some of my nail art failures!
So now that my course is done and Christmas is over, I expect to be back posting on a weekly basis. You'll notice I've switched things up a little on the blog. I thought it could use a new background. What do you think?
Ok, now let's get back to some nails designs. I know that Christmas was technically 2 days ago but I don't think it's too late to post a Christmas design. For Christmas I got a set of nail art brushes from Amazon (thanks mom!). The brushes are by Bundle Monster and based on my initial use of them, I really like them. A proper striping has seriously been missing from my life!
At Christmas time, I'm always drawn towards Christmas sweater nails. For this design, I used Blanc by Essie (base colour), dark green acrylic paint, and crimson red acrylic paint. I used a striping brush, a small detailing brush, and a dotting tool (a real one!).
I then used the acrylic paints and brushes to create my design. I chose to keep each nail similar with an accent nail (Christmas tree). Here is the final product!
I LOVE how they turned out!
I can never get enough of a good Christmas sweater design. Here is the sweater design I did last Christmas.
I'm very happy to be back and can't wait to create some fun designs with my new brushes and striping tape (still in the mail).
Happy Painting!
Love, Kate xo
