Color of the Week – Belated Christmas Nail Art



xmas nail art

Some of you guys wanted to see more nail arts and thank you for letting me know. Though Christmas has already passed and I’m doing a Christmas themed nail art 3 days after Christmas seems weird. But I got good news for you, I have more giveaways already lined up. Hopefully I can do it monthly or quarterly to show my appreciation. I just noticed I hit 400 followers.

So yea back to today’s CotW. As the first step, I pre-painted the nails with green, white and red, Christmas colors!

Instead of nail polishes, I used gel this time. I happen to have ibd Tropical Waterfall, Day Dreams and Satin Kimono. They’re the closest green, white and red colors I can find.

I also pushed myself to another level by playing with some acrylics. This is my very first time doing it. I wanted to be able to shape the design as I wanted. The product I used is the ibd FLEX sample kit.

It’s a lot harder to do than it seemed on the nail magazines and books. This is what I came up with, a snowman, a Christmas tree and a bow tie.

It’d be better to have the colored acrylic powders but since I only have the pink and white, I had to color it with some paints afterwards.

For more bling bling, I added nail jewels on it. Now it looks much better than before.

So how do you think of my first acrylic nail art work? I know I probably even didn’t do it right and it looked ugly. At least I had fun and I hope you did too reading it. And don’t forget to join my holiday giveaway which ends this weekend.

    Very cute, I’m liking the bling :-) But in all honesty, I don’t think nail-art will ever become my thing, well maybe on one nail on a long evening if I am extraordinarily zen… ;-) And congratulations on the 400!
