I found these on my camera roll today – I did them forever ago, but for some reason I never really got around to posting them.

Candy Cane Nails
Contains product sent for review
Last Christmas (har har), I also did candy cane nails, so I’m sensing a recurring theme here…
This year (har har), I did them on a larger scale with this awesome red glitter tape from Born Pretty Store.
Be warned, though, that while the awesomeness of the glitter tape is through the roof, it bleeds when you apply the top coat which is why I have red smudges in places.
It helped a little when I applied the top coat in the same direction as the stripes, because tape peels quickly enough with top coat so I wouldn’t leave that step out.
With top coat I got a couple of hours wear out of these before they started peeling which is always such a bummer, so it’s more or less only for picture purposes.
Maybe they’ll work better with gel polish?

Red and Polka Dot Nails
These aren’t necessarily christmas nails, but I really felt like wearing red which I almost only do around christmas. Instead of doing the all red, I paired it with black and white polka dots.
Polishes used:
- Essie – Shall We Chalet?
- Color Club – French Tip
- Essie – Licorice

Gold Star Garland Nails
Contains affiliate link
Do anyone else feel like december has just flown by? There are so many last minute things to busy yourself with, so I’m doing the whole ‘less is more’-thing and sticking to simplistic nail art.
Oh boy, this was a tricky one, because I REALLY wanted the stars to be gold, but I don’t have a gold stamping polish, so I had to try several polishes out before I found one that transfered okay-ish to my nails.
Polishes used:
- OPI – OPI Scores a Goal
- Essence – Fame is the name
- Born Pretty Store stamping plate

Wreath Nails
Contains product sent for review
As you may have guessed from my last couple of posts, I’ve been waiting all year to pull out all of my christmas themed nail art items; stamping plates, foils, and water decals.
In that bunch are these black wreath water decals that I unfortunately applied a tiny bit crooked, but I still really like it over the gold polish.
The gold glitter really threw my camera for a loop when I tried to take a closeup shot, but it still shows the intricate details of the wreath just fine.
Polishes used:
- Rimmel – Bewitched
- Rimmel – Celebrity Bash
- Essence – On Air
- Born Pretty Store Water Decals

Gradient French Tip Snowflakes
Gradient french tips are a classic for me every year for christmas. Usually I do the snow falling with a white hex glitter polish, but this time I’ve done really big snowflakes with water decals.
I LOVE how this looks! I’ll have to stock up on these water decals so I can use them every year.
Polishes used:
- Color Club – French Tip
- OPI – Bubble Bath
- Essie – As Gold As It Gets

Black and Gold Bells
Contains product sent for review
Today’s mani seems really far away from what I normally do, with the big gold studs, but they were sitting in my drawer, and they really spoke out to me today, so I had to include them.
I normally only do a design once per season (or ever), but I’m feeling that I’ll be using the bells image from the stamping plate again this season…
