Christmas nail art

Hi,
Today I'll show you another Christmas nail art I created. I started with
two coats of Illamasqua -Scorch on all nails except my thumb and ring finger,
where I applied Sinful Colors -Ruby Ruby. The image plates used for each 
finger are, from left to right: m12, m59, m14 Konad plates and an Essence
plate for my pinkie. I used Illamasqua -Allarm for the designs stamped with
red and Konad Special White. I finished with a clear top coat.
What do you think?

Winter nail arts + How to create an outlined design

Hi,
This is going to be an unusually long post, including a lot of pictures. Here, in 
Romania, it has been snowing incredibly beautiful for the past 24 hours. That 
inspired me to create a snowmen nail art. 

I started with two coats of Flormar #431. Then, I applied a layer of a white 
crackling nail polish from Born Pretty in order to create the snow effect.

I used m12 Konad plate for the snowmen. The stamping technique is shown 
in the bellow picture. Firstly, I stamped the design using Special White. Then,
I filled in the design using a white nail polish. Lastly, I restamped the snowmen
design using Special Black, to create an outline effect. This is not as difficult
as it seems, and don't worry if you don't manage to stamp the design exactly
on the line of the previous one. Fill in the comforter with two different colours.
I used orange and green and applied them using a small dotting tool. 

This is the final result. I finished with a clear top coat. What do you think about
my snowmen nail art?

I also wanted to include some pictures of the beautiful scenery I see
from my windows. I really love snow! 

Here's a snowflake design I created for my best friend the day before. You
might have seen it on my Facebook page, as I already posted it. For this, I 
started with a sponged white layer on the tips and then I stamped the snowflakes 
from m59 Konad plate using black, pink and blue. Do you like them?

Snowmen manicure

Hi,
Today it snowed for the first time this winter in my country so it totally inspired
me to do a wintery manicure. I didn't have any light blue, so I created one using
a white nail polish and some drops of a dark blue. I applied two coats of it and then 
I stamped the dots from m79 Konad plate with Special White. I used a sponge
for creating the tips. Then, I stamped the snowmen from m12 Konad plate using
Deborah -01 MAT (Black), because I ran out of Special Black.
I finished with a clear top coat.
What do you think?

Christmas manicure: candy canes and bells

Hi!
Here's the last Christmas manicure I'll show you this year.
I applied 2 coats of Flormar M103 white above Zoya base coat and then I stamped the candy canes from m12 Konad image plate.
In the middle of each bow I applied some gold steel balls.
On my thumb I stamped the bells, firstly with yellow. Then I filled in the shade with
yellow and after I stamped the image again with black.
I stamped the Merry Christmas sign with green and finaly applied some red steel balls.

What do you think?
How was your Christmas?
I hope you all had a good time. Thanks for passing by!

After this, I stamped again the Santa face on the same place, using red this time.
The bows are from m59 plate.
