Blogmas ¦ Day 22 - Reindeer nails

 

I thought these nails where just to cute to not show you. I'm finally starting to feel a little more festive as college is over and we've finally got a Christmas tree. So today I thought I would share this really cute nail design with you. I'm pretty sure I did a very similar design but I thought I would update the post with some better quality images and share it for those of you that weren't following me last year.
 
So I started off by painting all of my nails completely white as I personally find it's the best base colour for these nails. I then waited until that was completely dry as it can very easily all end up smudging into one big mess. I then used a Nude shade from miss sporty and painted the heads. I did this by doing one stroke of polish down the middle of my nails and then I rounded them off with the edge of the brush. Then it was time for the reindeers facial features. I would again recommend leaving the nude polish to dry completely as it just makes it much easier. I used the brushes from my Rio nail art pens as I find the brush makes everything a lot easier than when I use the little squeezy but. Finally I topped everything off with a top coat and they where done.
 
I feel like these would also be super cute with silver glitter over them to give them a snow like effect. Let me now if you've been trying any festive nail art!

  1. These are just too cute! I´m way to impatient and untalented for any nail art but I really wish I could do those. These would look so lovely on Christmas day!

  3. This is such a sweet design. On the topic of the polish smudging, have you tried the Sally Hansen Insta-Dri top coat? It dries your nails almost instantly and can be a complete lifesaver x

  4. I've only just gotten into the holiday spirit this week, too. It's hard to feel Christmasy when studying for finals! These nails are so cute! I wish I was talented enough to paint my nails like this.
