The One With the Annual Christmas Light Manicure
9:00:00 AMGood Morning, Polished World, and Merry Christmas!!!!!! Now, I'm going to say I'm a bit disappointed in myself that I only had 4 Christmas Manicures this year. I really wanted to create a whole lot for you all, but life really got in the way. Let's just say I'm really tired of COVID and everything associated with it. It just is allll consuming in my line of work and it's quite exhausting.
Despite all that exhaustion, I did find time to paint my nails one more time for Christmas. Every year I create a Christmas Light manicure. I've been doing this since The Little Canvas was born, and I wasn't going to miss this year. Last year I created a red and green light manicure using Christmas Cookie from ILNP as a base. I loved it so much that I decided to re-create it this year. Maybe next year I'll go back to the classic look over the snow.
Until then, let's take a look!
Colors Used:
- ILNP - Christmas Cookie
- Acrylics
Yes, I cheated and used acrylic paint for my lights, but it's so much easier, especially when you're painting your nails at 11pm and just want to go to bed. Christmas Cookie is my all time favorite Christmas polish. It's a sheer white polish with tiny tiny red and green flecks. I'm not sure how ILNP did this, but it's gorgeous and I love it. It builds perfectly in two coats for full, Christmas-y coverage. The best part - it dries rather quickly so you're able to just start your artwork. Or throw on a top coat and go to bed.
This was the first year where I was able to paint the "string" perfectly in the first try. Probably because I didn't do any curly q's like years prior. Despite the one imperfection on my pinkie finger on that green light, all the other lights are perfect. I'm really happy with how this turned out.
What do you think?
I wish all my followers and readers a Very Merry Christmas!! I'll be back with at least one New Years Eve look. Hopefully.
Until then, <3.
