Day 6: Santa's Workshop and List

Ahh after the not so great nail day last challenge, this one turned out good. I think. I literally tried to recreate parts of this picture I googled. Starting from my thumb is the sign for North Pole. Then Santa's gift sack on my pointer finger and his workshop in the middle finger. I drew his sleigh with presents on my ring finger finishing off with presents on my pinky. Notice the sky-ish background with snow on ground, it's my favorite design at the moment.

Anyways I tried to create a Nice and Naughty list on my left hand. It didn't come out as good but it I am still happy with my nails today.Halfway done with the challenge but still loving it, keeps me busy :)

Day 5: Inspired by a Christmas Carol/ Song

This challenge is getting hard.. For this challenge, I drew drums in my nails inspired by the song little drummer boy. I haven't heard the original but I love the cover version of this song by pentatonix. If you haven't heard it yet, check it out here.

As for nails, here is mine.

This is my least favorite nail art I did so far in this challenge. I was really disoriented when I did this because I had just woken up from a nap which I shouldn't have taken it in the first place anyways. I drew the drums inspired by this picture below but it looks nothing like it.

Then I added some musical notes in there because I did not like how it looked but that made it worse. I decided to keep it until next challenge because I need to study for my final on Thursday! xoxo

Day 4: Christmas Where You Live

This challenge was particularly hard to do because I really had to think about it. I live in Rhode Island, smallest state of US and no it's not an Island. Anyways I decided to got for a really simple winter wonderland theme because we usually have a white christmas here. I just painted my nails light blue, and painted the tips white. It does not have to be perfect because its just snow on a ground, then i painted a tree-like siloutte then put in some white dots for a snow. Finally I used a festive glittery topcoat to seal off the design.

If you are a Rhode Islander, you know about a big blue bug on the side of highway which is decorated as a reindeer every christmas. I couldn't resist incorporating it on my nails, and also I can't believe I actually did it. It was refreshing to see light colors on my nails other than green and red today haha.

It's a Rhode Islandah Christmas!

Day 3: Christmas Candy

When I was thinking about what to paint on my nails today, I didn't have much ideas except Candy cane. I just painted my nails green and red and drew a candy cane and little peppermint candies. It's a little hectic trying to get these done every other day especially because its the last week of classes and finals are just around the corner. But I am loving it nonetheless.

Also notice I used glittery topcoat on the nails without design to spice it up a bit.

Day 2: Wrapping Paper/ Presents

I made it! Day 2 of christmas challenge and so far so good! So I drew little gift boxes on my ring finger. The middle finger and pointer finger are just plain gift warp with ribbons around it. Then I went with simple christmas themed wrapping paper pattern on my thumb and pinky. It literally took longer to dry my nails than paint them haha. Anyways hope you like it!
