When I decided to do this 12 days of Christmas nail art thing, I knew right away that I wanted to do one design based on a Christmas movie. The thing is, there are SOOOO many Christmas movies out there! You've got your Christmas Classics like It's a Wonderful Life, White Christmas, and A Christmas Story. There are those awesome old Christmas claymations like A Year Without Santa Clause, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, and Santa Clause is Coming to Town. But then you've got those newer movies that become instant classics. It didn't take me long to chose a movie. Can you tell what it is? I'll give you a hint... "Bye, Buddy! Hope you find your dad!"
We're just days away from Christmas which means that I'm just days away from seeing my family. Almost as excitingly I get to see their faces when they open their gifts. Usually, I have to send my gift to them and I miss them being opened. Last year, I made them video tape it and send it to us. Seeing it in person will be so much better. I love giving gifts and I love seeing people's reactions. It's my favorite thing about Christmas and birthdays. \
Anyway, on to today's Christmas nail art. I wanted to do some marbling so I thought I would try out a drip marble.
As of yesterday, I am officially on vacation from work for the rest of the year. I'm excited to take it easy for a couple of weeks. In a week, my family is coming to visit from Tennessee and I couldn't be more excited. I don't get to see them often so I can't wait to spend Christmas with them. For today's Christmas design, I was going to do the typical Santa manicure but wanted to do something simpler.
For the supernatural prompt, I chose to base my design on the Grim Reaper. I didn't want to do a scary or gory Reaper so I did something a little bit on the cuter side.
Short post today. I knew I wanted to base today's design on a fictional flag. With the help of my little sister I landed on the Star Trek flag of the Federation.
The base color is Cult Nails Time Traveler and the white accents are Kiss Nail Art Paint in white.
I fell a day behind on the challenge but I'm catching up today. I'll be posting yesterday's post today as well as today's. It took me a very long time to decide on a movie for this prompt. Eventually, I decided to choose a Disney movie for inspiration. I was thinking back on some of my favorites and one that stood out was The Three Caballeros. My little sister and I used to watch this movie all the time as children. The movie is about Donald Duck and his friends Jose and Panchito.
As per usual for me during the 31 Day Challenge, when it comes to the inspired by a color prompt, I like to choose a nail polish and use the name as inspiration. I actually knew right away what polish I wanted to use.
It's yellow day. Yellow is such a pretty color but it's one that I never ever wear. It's a color that looks horrid on me and actually makes me look a bit jaundice. I still love the color, though. It's so cheerful. For today's prompt, I decided to do a mixed pattern design.
I'm back! It's been a while but I'm back! Yay! Not too long ago, I reached 1,000 followers on Tumblr! It's a small milestone for some but I'm pretty excited. To celebrate my little milestone, I thought I'd do a Tumblr themed manicure. I wanted to keep the design fairly simple and I'm seriously digging how it turned out.
