Rudolph!

These are Olivia's own nails. As is often the case with a particularly complicated design, she only did two nails on either hand with reindeer.  Aren't they sweet?

Grandma's Peppermint Swirls...

Olivia's been finding other victims volunteers for nailpainting!

Let it snow

Olivia's latest creation - she has the thumbnail painted with snowflakes as well, but it's hard to photograph the fingers and the thumb all together and show the design...  Looking forward to seeing what she does for Christmas...

Nordic Nail Art

Looks like one of those wintery jumpers!

A little Hallowe'en nail art...

A little owl told me...

This week's nail art - only one on each hand is an owl (takes too long, I think) but actually, I think the dots are fairly cool as well...

Vintage Style

It's astonishing how much patience Olivia has for this sort of thing!

Conversely...

Here's Olivia's attempt at doing a converse sneaker on her nails - when it's something really complicated, she often only does one nail on each hand and just makes the others match in colour... You can imagine she had a difficult time choosing which nail varnishes to take to the US with her!

Ice cream sundae

Olivia's latest nail creation - these are supposed to look like a strawberry ice cream with chocolate sauce and sprinkles.  Great fun!

Descpicable nails

Ever since Olivia showed us a photo of these guys which one of her nail gurus did, we've been trying to get her to paint her nails this way. (For those of you without small children, these are the "minions" from the film Despicable Me - see below.)  In honour of the release of Despicable Me 2, here are Olivia's nails with 2 minions - she's not doing any more, just the two, as they are very tricky. 

But so cute!!

Go minions!

Pandas!

Olivia's latest fingernail art - Pandas. We had to take a vote in the house between pandas, cupcakes and m 'n' m's - I admit, it was a close run thing between the pandas and the m 'n' m's, which were very cute. I imagine they'll be making an appearance before long.... And just to clarify, these aren't decals or anything - she does them with nail varnish in different colours (or, in this case, black, white and clear).  Not only do I not have the talent, I don't have the paitence, either. Can't imagine where she gets her patience from!

Watermelon fingers

Olivia's latest creation!
