Snowflake Gradient Nails

I found the cutest nails by Jenny Fox over at polishandpearls.com and here are the nails I recreated! 

I used Zoya nail polish in Cho as a base. Then I used two dotting tools and made the dots by the cuticles using the same polishes listed above. I added a coat of China Glaze's Fairy Dust to give it a little sparkle before adding the top coat. 

For the two nails with the gradient I used Cho and also Essie's go overboard. Then I used a white Sally Hansen nail art pen to draw the snowflakes, and covered it with a topcoat to make the nails look very smooth. 

Christmas Sparkles, Snowflakes, and Trees!

I love these nails - they're just so festive! On my pinkies, I used Zoya PixieDust in Tomoko. On my ring finger and thumb, I used a base coat of Nailtini in Bloody Mary, then used Winstonia nail plate in number W120. On the middle fingers, I used China Glaze in Fairy Dust as a base coat, then topped it with NYX nail polish in NPS209 Ice Glitter. On the pointer finger I used KBShimmer Nail Polish in You Autumn Know. Which nail is your favorite?

Snowmen Faces and Snowflakes

Here's another request made by my sister-in-law. She sent a link with the snowmen faces, and I just like doing at least one nail different from the others, so I decided on snowflakes! I used Essie's blanc, licorice, and lilacism. I also used a Sally Hansen nail art pen in black for tracing the borders and a Shany nail striper #23 for their noses. I used dotting tools for the eyes and mouth. The snowflakes are from a Winstonia stamp plate set, #W120. 

Penguins!

My sister-in-law sent me a link for penguin nails (the watermark on them is Painting Outside the Lines), and they were too cute--I had to try them out! I used Zoya's Dream for the ring finger, then layered Formula X from Sephora in Hyperactive over that; I used Shany's nail stamp SH17 & Essie blanc for the snowflake. The penguins are in Essie licorice & Essie blanc; I did their beaks and feet using Shany nail striper #23 and made their eyes with dotting tools. These just make me happy when I look at them throughout the day :)
