Every month. Every single one. I have had a dinosaur nail art design I wanted to paint and didn’t get around to. Sometimes it was a carryover from the month before that I thought would still work, but the desire was there. Guess how many I’ve managed to paint and post so far?
Hiiii. Hello. You’re seeing it today. I will take this success. Combining dinosaurs and Christmas is my kind of whimsy. Ever since I saw a Tree-Rex on a Moyou London stamping plate, there has been a new stamping plate somewhere that has combined the two. I am not alone. We are legion.
Except for the part that this isn’t part of a collab, but my interpretation of a reindeer prompt. Heh.

I wanted to keep this simple and focused on the dinosaurs so I picked a silhouetted image and only double stamped. I added far more stars than original image had since I liked the look and needed to fill in my pinkie somehow anyway. And don’t worry if you want to buy the plate and don’t like that the image is short. It’s not. My nails are on the wide side and falsies give them even more width. I also stamped the sleigh-pulling dinos in a way that curved it up and down, which took away more of its length.
So, uh, be normal and they will likely stretch across all four nails for you. 🤷🏻♀️
