A (Belated) Mickey Mouse Christmas

I am so ridiculously late posting this, I'm really sorry!

Truth be told, I didn't do any festive nail art for Christmas Eve or Christmas Day this year, I actually painted these the night after Christmas Day. It's not that I didn't want to, I just didn't feel inspired enough to actually start anything.

I love the base of these! I started out with 3 coats of Dance Legend - Pied Piper, which I actually got as a Christmas present from my family this year! It's a stunning Christmas tree green with a subtle sprinkling of holographic microglitter.

I then painted Mickey's face on my UberMat (also a present this year) and used it as a decal. I didn't paint them directly on my nails because I hadn't done any kind of pre-sketching or planning, so I didn't have a good enough feel for the proportions and I didn't want to have to re-do the base too.

The pattern on my thumb is just a mix of Mickey Mouse heads and smaller dots, nothing too fancy.

Colors used:
Dance Legend - Pied Piper (green base)
essie - spin the bottle (nude)
essie - forever yummy (red)
black, white

Merry Christmas! - Red Santa manicure

Merry Christmas everyone! I know, it's only Christmas Eve Eve, but I won't be home until present time and I figured I'd rather put it up too early than too late.

I didn't get to do a lot of festive manis this year, mostly because uni is super duper stressful at the moment. Now that I'm on winter break, I'll hopefully get to invest more time in this blog.

If you couldn't tell, Santa is winking, he's not missing an eye or anything. It looks weird if you don't know, so I wanted to point that out.
The red polish did end up bleeding through the white, but that is my top coat's fault, since I used a different one for this mani.

Colors used:
essie - forever yummy (red)
essie - spin the bottle (nude)
OPI - Jade Is The New Black (green)
essence - winter wonderland (pastel blue)
white

Gilded Holly - Holiday nail art

Hey guys!
I know, I know; I haven't posted in ages. I've been super busy with uni, but I managed to squeeze in a little nail art time last night (at like 3am)!

Is it too early for Christmas nails? I don't know. I just thought that today would be a good day to start, because there's only a month until Christmas!
If I celebrated Thanksgiving, you probably would have seen at least one design for that, but since I don't... straight from Halloween to Christmas nails for me!
