So last week wasn’t close enough to Christmas for me to do a real holiday themed Mani, but I didn’t have the same reservations this week!
Follow the cut for more info and pics.
I haven’t done a mani with a frame before, but it was super easy to do with my French Tip liner. I decided to do it inside rather than right along the edge because I thought the holly would look nice perched on it. I already have other ideas for how I could incorporate a frame into other designs, so I’m looking forward to trying that. 🙂 I played with the idea of doing the holly on each nail in different positions, but in the end went with the same location on accent nails.
I really like how this one turned out, it’s festive but not just a vomit of red and green!
(Photo update: So I got my camera working, but in the end I liked more of the pictures I took with my phone, so my posts will probably use a combo of phone pics and camera pics. Also, made a light box! Yay! I followed the instructions here, it was very easy.)
Colours:
Maybelline Color Show in Bold Gold (base)
