Gemstone Polish

Hey! Tonight, I have a new manicure inspired by Christmas wreaths :) Every year, my Mum and I go to our local wreath-making workshop and make a new wreath for the front door. I always enjoy seeing everyone's interpretation and different use of the same materials! So, I decided to use this for my nail art by painting different variations of wreaths on each nail; I started the manicure with Barry M 'Almond' on my non-accent nails and Essie 'Sable Collar' on my accent nails. I love these two colours together! I marked out where I wanted each wreath with my smallest detail brush and Barry M 'Cappuccino' . Then, using the same brush, I added in the evergreen foliage on my 'Almond' nails with Barry M 'Watermelon' .

Evening People!! Firstly, sorry about the week long gap; time just got away from me. I always give myself so much to do at this time of year!

Hello Hello! Well, I think it is safe to say that Winter has arrived; it's absolutely freezing!! But it also means that the Christmas themed nail art can finally commence, hooray!!

First up today's inspiration is centered around the classic Christmas colours; red and green with touches of brown wood, silver and gold accents. I'm thinking of a cosy log cabin in a fragrant evergreen wood, enjoying spiced hot chocolate with family and friends by a roaring fire.... Aw, these images are making me feel so excited for Christmas!! I've thrown myself full tilt into all things Christmassy including a wreath making workshop and a Victorian Christmas Fair! So fun :) Thanks for reading!! Kayleigh :)
