Rudolph | Nails How To

It's the town where I work's Christmas light switch on today, and still right up to this moment, no matter what I do, no matter how many mince pies I eat, I just cannot get into the Christmas spirit!

I know that sounds so 'Bah Humbug' of me, but usually I'm Christmas Jolly by November 1st. Christmas is always amazing for me as around the same time is my birthday and mine and Will's anniversary, so what is wrong with me this year I do not know! I know I am very poor at the moment, meaning I literally cannot afford to go Christmas shopping, or go to Christmas parties or buy the entire Christmas range at Lush, so that may be the answer! But still, there MUST be some way!

So, I thought, the snowflake nails last week were Christmassy and all, but you can't go wrong with trying some Rudolph's!!

So, I whacked on out my red, black and white nail art pens along with my Barry M 'Mushroom 310' and Barry M 'Gold 289'.  I painted my nails with the Mushroom, adding white nails and some nice big red noses (like mine resembles in the winter season). Adding some black pupils at the bottom of the eyes (to make them look dopey), some gold antlers and some shine on the nose there you have 10 dopey looking Rudolphs, so quick, simple and easy, a matter of dots and spots. 

The BIG question,

What are you doing to get into the Christmas Spirit?

Frosty Touch | Nails How To

Every Monday I'm like 'wooo Monday Manicure day!' Then I get into watching something like Fresh Meat or Misfits or Breaking Bad and it turns Tuesday. And there's something that feels wrong about posting a Manicure post on a Tuesday, damn television!
So I thought, since the snow is apparently on it's way, why not get into the frosty spirit on my nails?!
It's a really quick and simple one to do, and I think looks super cool (haha get it?!) and fitting.

So without further ado, the step by steps:

The Varnishes I used were Barry M in Hologram 244, Barry M in Blue Moon 317 and the Models Own white nail art pen.

Starting off with a clear few coats of the blue, topping with a few coats of the glitter to spread an even coverage. I think that already gives you a 'Brrrr Frosty' effect, but I felt it needed a few frosty flakes as well, which I did with my Models Own pen, and a not so steady hand.

Anybody have any other wintery nails ideas?
They make me feel all Chrsitmassy!!
