I can’t believe that 2013 is almost here! I really enjoyed 2012, especially since this was the year that I really got into blogging and met a lot of great blogger friends.
I’m ringing in the new year with a shimmery nail look featuring my favourite shade of dark purple, holographic swirls, and white accents.
I also filmed a video tutorial (below) to show you exactly how I created this look.
Have a wonderful 2013!
This snow inspired nail look is my first entry in Nail Polish Canada’s Holiday Nail Art Challenge.
I wanted to create a design that reflected the beauty of snow flakes and the winter fun associated with snow.
I began the look with a medium blue base (Zoya Jo), and then added a bit of glimmer by dabbing on a thin layer of China Glaze OMG with a makeup sponge. Next, I created snowflakes with a white polish and a nail art stamping kit. I used a larger snowflake for the thumb nail and smaller designs for the others. Using a dotting tool and Zoya Snow White, I drew the snowman’s body on one nail, and added a hat, buttons, and eyes with a black polish. The final touch was the carrot nose which I created using Butter London Jaffa.
What do you think of my snow inspired nail look? I would love for you to take a few moments to check out the other amazing designs created by bloggers, and show your support for my nail art and my blog by voting for my design here: http://www.nailpolishcanada.com/holiday-nail-art-challenge-week-1-snow/
I can’t wait to see what next week’s challenge will be!
Many of the back to school looks that I have seen feature designs involving books, apples, rulers, and #2 pencils. I decided to try something different and create a look that would work with any outfit and be appropriate long after the first day of classes. Also, this look is perfect for school regardless of whether you will be in the classroom to teach or learn.
Tailor this look to work with your sense of style by choosing colours that complement your clothing or even shades that honour your school colours.
Check out my video to see how I created this look and which products I used.
Have a great school year!
