A Merry Mickey Christmas

I love Christmas, and I love Disney, so I combined the two themes in this mani.  Finally getting around to another red/green mani too.

This is on the "simpler" side for my freehand painting, but I was short on time. I baked for four hours straight today!  My family holiday party is tomorrow so I had a lot to get done.

Polish Used:

• Wet n Wild - Red Red
• Sally Hansen Triple Shine - Kelp Out
• Wet n Wild Fergie - No Place Like Home
• Sinful Colors - Holiday Rebel
• Sally Hansen - White On
• Wet n Wild - Black Crème

Other Supplies:

• Nail art brush
• Dotting tool
• 2mm and 3mm green round studs
• Mickey Mouse rhinestone charm
• Nail striping tape
• Krazy Glue
• Base and top coats

This makes me want to go to Disneyland.  If you've never gone there during the holidays, I highly suggest it.  To create this look:

1. Apply the base colors - thumb and ring finger in red, the rest in green.
   
2. Thumb - Apply one coat of Holiday Rebel.  Add two 2mm green round studs and one 3mm stud to the base of the nail, in the shape of a Mickey Mouse head.
   
3. Index - Using a nail art brush and black polish, paint a Mickey head on the tip.  Add a red triangle for a Santa hat using No Place Like Home.  Lastly, paint a white brim and pom pom on the Santa hat.
   
4. Middle - Using a large dotting tool, add three red dots vertically down the center of the nail.  Use a smaller dotting tool to add two dots ("ears") to each of the larger dots.
   
5. Ring - Glue the Mickey charm on the nail.
6. Pinky - Add vertical nail striping tape to the nail, paint red, and remove the tape.
   

Here's another shot where you can see the thumb too.
