  • Holiday NOTD: Christmas Tree Nails!

This manicure was inspired by CutePolish on youtube, she has a tutorial up for these and you can check it out here.

I used two coats of Wet N Wild Fergie Nail Color in Grammy Gold as my base, then made the tree using a striping brush and China Glaze’s Running In Circles. I had to do two coats of that as well. When that was a bit dry I dabbed on some of Sephora by OPI’s Good Tidings We Bling, just to the tree to look like Christmas lights. I used a dotting tool and fished out the glitter from OPI’s Living Daylights for ornaments. The stars were applied the same way using Wet N Wild Fergie Nail Color in Hollywood Walk of Fame. I dented this manicure pretty awesomely on three of my nails and for some reason my camera wouldn’t focus on the glitter very well so I apologize for the picture quality being crappy. I’d just redo it, but I have other Christmas mani’s to do and not a lot of time!

About Valerie Vanity

I am a freelance makeup artist and a stay at home mom, I LOOVVVVEEE all things beautiful and sparkly. There are very few looks that I wouldn’t try to pull off, and I just love playing with makeup. I was inspired to start this blog when I found that I couldn’t really find very many beauty bloggers out there that are willing to speak in layman’s terms (took me forever to get the hang of “warm grey with a subtle blue shift”. The funny thing is, now I talk like that! But I do my best to describe techniques and products in way that doesn’t confuse or intimidate.

    Awwww so cute girl! Love how shiny! Maybe if you made the background matte and the tree shiny the tree would stand out more!

  5. The tree was actually really nice IRL but I dented the crap out of this. Only did a blog post because I knew I wasn’t going to redo the mani this Christmas season!

  6. Totally not my own idea but I love them!
