Christmas Nails

Often when looking for Christmas nails on Pinterest you see the near impossible nail styles like this one here

I could never do these on myself or on anyone! But I love nail art, so I found 8 possible, easy, Diy, designs to try. I have done some of these myself and will be trying out the others this season!

With a thin brush you could do the snowflake, or go without it. The green and sparkle theme is really cool.

You could do the snowflake accent with light pinks.

Festive Stripes

20131222-132325.jpg
Or candy canes (This one might’ve been done with small pieces of tape, or just a really good painter)

20131222-132412.jpg
A holiday sparkle

20131222-132435.jpg
Or Santa clause ( I wouldn’t do the Santa clause because it would not turn out like that for me but if you want to, go for it! I’d probably just do the white & sparkle)

20131222-132537.jpg
I did do this tape Christmas tree. The first layer of paint needs a lot of time to dry before putting tape on it.

If you enjoy the tape look, go a little advance with this tree

Anyone you choose, your nails will be ready for the holiday spirit!

Be Thankful Turkey

Tis the season to be thankful, so here is a turkey/be thankful gift to make with te family or for fun:)

20131119-195922.jpg

Start with some turkey colored feather shape papers. Either color them in or use construction paper

20131119-200017.jpg

Then fill a baby food jar with M&Ms

20131119-200048.jpg

Write what you are thankful for on the feathers or you can leave them blank.

It’s super easy too! All you need is string and 15 $1 bills.
