He Sees You When You're Sleeping. . .

Did anyone else find that slightly creepy as a child?

The prompt for Challenge Your Nail Art's 12 Days of Christmas Nail Art Challenge is Santa Clause or Elves.  I decided to re-create the first nail art design I ever did which was a design by Cutepolish.

I had been admiring nail art for a while and felt like I could never do the amazing things others were doing.  When I saw this design I knew I could try it and a passion was born.

For this design I used Nina Ultra Pro French White and Julep Karmen.

It is a rather simple design that anyone can do, so if you are thinking about taking the nail art plunge, give a try.  You know you want to.  All the cool kids are doing it!

Tootles!

Two nail challenges in one!

Christmas time is here,

Happiness and cheer,

Fun for all that children call,

Their favorite time of year.

Christmas means a lot to me.  Family, religion, traditions; these are a few of the words I associate with this joyful day.  My list of Christmas memories and feelings could fill up this blog, but it is about nail art so I will spare you from that.  One thing though, my first nail art was Christmas themed.  In fact it was Santa hats.  I thought about redoing it and seeing how I have improved, but I saw this design by schmucknaegel and I just had to give it a try.  I figured lets expand my repertoire and keep it close to the original.  Plus, this was I can also use the design for both challenges!

I am thinking I should give up on Santa hats.  I do like this, but I am just not as happy with it as I would like to be.  Ah, well the circle of life isn't always pretty.

I used Finger Paints Paper Mâchè, China Glaze Fast Track, and Hey Sailor.  I love Fast Track!  It is this golden-shimmery nude.  So pretty.  You do get visible nail line even after two coats, but vnl never bothered me.

My thumb close-up came out blurry, which is sad since my thumb looks the best, so you will have to make due with this shot.

I know it wasn't a complete fail, but I still wish it was a bit better.

Merry Christmas Charlie Brown

Tootles!
