Blog posts with a Christmas-y theme, mostly nail art. Covers a wide variety of Christmas themes from snowflakes and Christmas trees to Santa, reindeer, presents, and Christmas cats. Both traditional red and green color schemes as well as more unusual ones.
Merry Christmas! Today’s gifted look is an older design. One that I painted several years ago on my natural nails. I’ve actually already destashed the black polish that you are seeing because I hated how gritty it looked in real life. (Also, Nee Jolie’s formula stinks really bad, so any Read More
I have been posting a lot and kinda crashed a little, but there’s more Christmas nail art to post so it’s time to dust myself off and share today’s look: a nod to my favorite Christmas movie The Nightmare Before Christmas. I don’t have a Christmas tradition that I perform Read More
