Nail Art LAV 028: Christmas Nail Art Designs

Dear Friends

Christmas is fast approaching. Therefore, I want to share with you a very simple nail art design for the joyous occasion.

You only need 2 nail colours that have similar tone and another shimmering nail polish - with medium flakes.

Left to right: OPI Base coat, OPI Servin' up Sparkle, Revlon Mad About Mango, KOH Love Passionately and OPI Top coat

Hope you are inspired with this simple nail art design.
Thanks for viewing!

Nail Art: Lav 024 Christmas Nail Art - Classic French Manicure for Christmas 2011

French Manicure is my personal favourite among the many types of manicure. I love french manicure because it is looks classy and "expensive". At least for me, I think that sporting a French Manicure makes my hands look clean and posche. These are only my personal view. It may not necessary be true. Some girls just do not like French Manicure. Maybe I appreciate French Manicure more because of its name. Anything "French" seems interesting and has a different class. I learnt to speak French a decade ago and have returned all to my teacher who is a Chinese.In French, all items have a gender, either male or female. In this case, I really don't know whether Nail Polish is male or female? Maybe it is male, that's why we keep buying them..ha..ha.. anyone can tell us please?

Now, lets look at the French Manicure that I did a few weeks ago. I did it with free hand as I feel that it is easier. You can use a guiding tape if you like but I think it is a bit messy.

French Manicure can suit all occasions whether it is Christmas, New Year, Valentine's Day or any day. You do not have to worry about whether it can match your dress color or bag etc. It can never be out of fashion (At least I think so).

I have recently filed my nails in a squarish shape so that my french manicure will look nicer.

Items used , Essie, OPI (top and base), Sally Hansen French White

I have done another French Manicure with flower earlier. (Click the bold letters if you are interested to see).

I have other Christmas Nail Art ideas here too.

Have a lovely day!

Nail Art: Lav 022 & 023 Christmas Nail Art - Blue Glitter

As promised I will show you 2 Christmas Nail Art designs that are simple and easy to do for this Christmas 2011.

This is my first experiment after buying the glitter. 

1st Design

The first design is a diagonal look.

Just apply in this sequence:

1. Base

2. Color coat - apply 2 coats (let 1st coat dry before applying 2nd coat)

3. Apply top coat (diagonally)

4. Sprinkle the glitter and it will stick on the top coat, press the glitter gently and let dry)

5. Apply toap coat after everything is dry

Important note: Step 3 and 4 must be done on the nail one by one, DO NOT apply step 3 on all nails at one go because it will dry up and you cannot adhere the glitter)

material used for 1st design

 

2nd Design

The 2nd design is a twist of Frech manicure, instead of the white color tip, I use the glitter.

Just apply in this sequence:

1. Base

2. Color coat - apply 2 coats (let 1st coat dry before applying 2nd coat)

3. Apply top coat (only on the tip, pretend that you are doing french manicure but with top coat not the white color)

4. Sprinkle the glitter and it will stick on the top coat, press the glitter gently and let dry)

5. Apply toap coat after everything is dry

Important note: Step 3 and 4 must be done on the nail one by one, DO NOT apply step 3 on all nails at one go because it will dry up and you cannot adhere the glitter)

Just to show you the glitter under yellow light.
