Inspirationail: The 12 Nails of Christmas – Day 3

14 Dec

The 12 Nails of Christmas

So we’ve reached day three and perhaps I am jumping the gun just a little bit but today’s inspiration is none other than the big guy himself, Santa! This design was easier than I thought it’d be and I think they look really cute!

Santa nails

For this design I used OPI Stranger Tides from the Pirates of the Caribbean range as the base, this is a really good base colour because it makes all the other colours stand out really well without being as plain as beige or nude. Then for Santa’s suit I used a thin paintbrush from spotlight and OPI’s A Oui Bit of Red. China Glaze Liquid Leather made up the boots and for all the fur trimming I used a white nail art pen that I picked up from a chemist for about $10. Oh and his face was OPI Malaysian Mist!

Ho ho ho!!!

*These are so cute Ash! I can’t believe you actually painted Santa on your nails – if I tried this it would probably look like a red, black and white blob!*
