Festive Nail Art #1

Hello,
 
I am a lover of all things art, and this includes nail art. I am going to share a few nail ideas for Christmas over several blog posts. Today I am going to start with some simple ideas but in later blog post I will do some tutorials of some more complex designs.
 
My hand looks strange in this...
 
(L-R)
 
Candy Cane - I've just painted my nail white and added red strips. This is so simple and quick to do, you could even add a few different colours or glitter.
 
Snowman - This is not so simple but doesn't it look cute?! (Tutorial for this coming soon.)
 
Glitter - This is the nail art I think I am going to do for Christmas Day. It looks really elegant and effective. All I did was paint my nail black (No 7's black patent dries really fast by the way) and add a glitter nail polish on the top of the nail.
 
Present - For this design I painted my nail gold and painted an off center cross and a bow. This design looks good without the bow as well. Maybe experiment with different Christmassy colours.
 
... and if you can't decide why not wear them all and paint each nail differently!!!
(If you want to know any of the nail polishes I've used, feel free to comment below)
 
 
Thank you for reading, sorry this post was a bit short. Do come back for my #countdowntochristmas blog posts. See you next time, byee.

The Christmas Tag



Hello,
 
As its nearly Christmas its only right for me to do the Christmas Tag! I have seen a few different versions so I have just picked my favourite.
 
What is your favourite holiday movie?
My all time favourite Christmas film is National Lampoons Christmas Vacation, I laugh every time I watch this film even though I've seen it a million times. I also like Elf, The Polar Express and Christmas Carol.
 
What are your favourite Christmas colours?
Red, Green, Gold and Silver.
 
Do you like to stay in your PJs or dress up for Christmas?
I normally get dressed up.
 
If you could only buy one person a present this year who would it be?
This is too difficult I can't decide!!
 
Do you open your presents Christmas Eve or Christmas morning?
 I always open presents on Christmas Morning and then others throughout the day.
 
Have you ever built a Ginger Bread house?
I've never made one, they look really cool but I would probably get frustrated with it.
 
 What do you like to do on your Christmas Break?
I spent quite a lot of time doing nothing and relaxing... I also enjoy Christmas Shopping, watching Christmas Films and spending time with my family and friends. I'll probably get homework as well...
 
Any Christmas wishes? 
That everyone has a fun and happy Christmas.
 
Favourite Christmas smell?
I haven't really got a favourite scent, but the smell of Christmas dinner, Christmas pudding, Quality Street (when you open the tin) and Terry's Chocolate Orange remind me of Christmas the most.
 
Favourite Christmas Meal or Treat?
Obviously Christmas Dinner, but I also love having Bacon sandwiches (we always have them on Christmas morning). For Christmas treats it has to be Quality Street, After Eight's and Terry's Chocolate Orange.  
 
 
Thank you for reading. Don't forget to keep checking for more Christmas blog posts and leave any Christmas Q&A questions below. See you soon. Byee

Christmas Lights

 
 
Hello,
 
On Saturday the Christmas lights were turned on in my local town. I went with two of my friends and I took some photos to share with you for my #countdowntochristmas. There was also a firework display and a Christmassy evening could not be complete without a trip to costa, by the way the Orange hot chocolate is amazing.
