Sandy Claws

One of the many things I love about The Nightmare Before Christmas...it works for Halloween and Christmas nails. :)  This is a darker Christmas look with the red and black, but the snowflakes help cheer it up a bit.

Abstract Christmas

This abstract look is really easy and really fast to create.  I just used some dry brushing with foil and studs.  The color scheme is still holiday, but the design has an artsy feel since the dry brush nails look like an abstract painting. 

Holly Berry

 

Christmas is next week!  So crazy how fast the time goes.  I have plans to do a really elaborate nail design before Christmas is over, but for now, today and tomorrow's designs will be on the simpler side.  Initially, I was only going to do the holly feature nail and leave the rest plain red, but that looked too boring for this magically festive time of year.

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.

Candy Cane Lane

During the holidays, I love everything peppermint...peppermint ice cream, peppermint bark, peppermint pretzels, peppermint hot cocoa, the list goes on.  So, of course I had to do peppermint candy cane nails!  These are really easy and just use some nail striping tape.

Cold As Ice

These glacier inspired nails will have you feeling the chill of how "cool" they look.  :)  I decided to try a new technique to create the worn effect on my glacier nails.

Whimsical Winter Wonderland

Back to the holiday manis!  A pink background with these bright white polka dot trees, creates a whimsical winter wonderland.

Arizona Wildcats

I know I promised holiday nails, but today, Arizona plays Oregon in the Pac-12 Championship Game.  As a proud U of A alum, I had to paint some red and blue nails to show some school spirit.  Go wildcats!!!

Ice Queen

It's December, so you know what that means...time for lots of winter and holiday themed nails!  First up is an Ice Queen look.  This mani has a little bit of everything - stamping, glitter, rhinestones, studs, and crackle finish.
