Manicure Monday - Trying out some Christmas nail art

On the build-up to Christmas, Laura from She Who Does Nails has been creating a nail art advent calendar in which every day she posts a different Christmas themed nail art tutorial.

I attempted her Christmas lights nail art and my results did not look half as good as hers!

P.s sorry for the messy nails, I took the pictures a few days after I'd done these.

The hard part about doing this nail art is getting a thin enough black 'wire' so that it doesn't look too weird. Also what I did wrong with this manicure is not leaving the little black 'prongs' that the lights would be connected to. Instead, I painted over them... Also my lights aren't really light shaped. I did try though!

I also tried out the Christmas pudding nails! I think my nails might have been the wrong shape but they still look cute!

  3. I've been looking through your blog posts for a while when you post on twitter and I've been meaning to follow you ever since, now I finally have! (woo hoo). What lovely nail art, I especially love the christmas puds - so neat and just pretty. The sparkles in the brown make it extra christmassy. Can't wait to see more of your posts :-)

  7. I have to tell you that Lucas was tremendously excited about your Christmas nails. He had no idea that you could paint pictures on your nails and nearly fell off the bed when he saw them :) Love the Christmas pud nails!!
