First a reminder: There is only ONE DAY (18 hours to be exact!) left to enter my GIVEAWAY!
Then on to day 20 of the Advent Calender Nail Challenge: Sweets & Candy.
The first thing that popped in my mind is candy cane! This is not my cleanest swirl, but I like how it turned out (Yes, I’m picky). How about you?
Colors used:
OPI Alpine Snow (white)
ANNY Woman in Red (red)
ANNY Princess (pink)
OPI Pirouette My Whistle
OPI Gettin’ Miss Piggy With It
YAY! Tomorrows challenge is watermarble! 😀 I LOVE that!
For the beauties among us who never tried it before: please cover your fingertips well with tape! Otherwise you’ll get a big big mess (believe me)! Sounds logical, I know, but after my first attempt I spent about an hour to clean up the mess 😉
The lovely Mommy loves nailpolish has created an easy way to see what the other girls made for this challenge (Inlinkz). You can also add your link there 😉
Happy polishing!
you did these by hand? omg you are amazing
Yes I did! Now you make me blush… Especially because I think I could have done a better job. But yeah, I’m really picky if it comes to my nails 😉
So, thanks a lot girl!
I don’t know how you do this so well…how long does this usually take you? I’ve enjoyed all of your nails for the Advent Calendar, and i can’t wait to see what comes next!!
Ahww that’s so sweet! Thanks! This design took me about 40 mins. 😀
these are sooo cute!
Thank you!
Ooh that looks yummy! They remind me of the Campino Strawberry candies too.
Hmm now that you mention: It does 😀 JUMMIE
YEAY! CANDYYYYYYY it looks delicious! Are you using an especially thin brush to draw everything?
They do hea! 😀
Yes, I use several nail art brushes. For this mani I’ve used a very thin and long one (that makes ‘swiping’ easier).
Can you recommend any good design brushes?? Im looking for some for a long time now. But all i see are the regular ones.
I’ve tried many different brushes but I really enjoy the synthetic ones (Finest Synthetic Germany 0-3). They go from small and short to small and long. They have a red, green or blue ending and tip. I bought them on Ebay (for example here:http://www.ebay.com/itm/2012-New-hot-sales-3-Pcs-Nail-Art-Drawing-Pen-Painting-Dotting-Brush-Set-BF00-/261105189753?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3ccb150379). They really are perfect for swiping and outlining 🙂
I’m planning of purchasing some new polishes next week. If you’d like, I can get the brushes for you en sent them over 😀
How many will you be getting?? I mean i think i would only need like one or two. Like a bigger and a thinner one. I dont think i will be doing a bigdesign project on my nails 😛 not like you at least 😀
Haha! The ones that I’m talking about are thin. I’m getting those for sure and thinking of buying some thicker ones too. So, I’m just gonna buy some extra and send you a thicker and a thin one so that you can try which one(s) does the magic for you. Okay? 😀
That would be a great xmas gift, thank you very much 😀 So nice of you.
😀 You’re very welcome. I’ll let you know when I received them so that I can sent them over 😀
