26 Great Nail Art Ideas - Pastel Christmas

6th manicure of the 26 Great Nail Art Idea's Challenge.

The challenge this week is Pastel Christmas.

I did this manicure a week before the last challenge here.  This was going to be Christmas Preparations, then I read that the next one was Pastel!  So I saved this for now :)

I loved how this turned out, love all the snowflake decals on the nails, so very christmassy, don't you think.

Christmas Day Red Gradient - 25 December 2015

This was my Christmas day manicure.  I did a gradient with a red and a maroon shade on the tips of my nails.  It was still too stark so I applied another coat of the red all over followed by a  coat of the glitter red by PIA on the whole nail and this is the result.  And look.... I still have the glitter pinky since 14 December.

N.B.
The glitter pinky finally gave up the ghost by the end of Christmas day!  It was peeling off, so I took it off and replaced it with LA Girl Sands of Time.

I'm not sure which red I used, either OPI Red or Elf light red. The maroon shade was Nails Inc Savile Row.

Xmas Nail Sticker - 15 Dec 2014

Not sure which deep red I used here or which green for the accent nail.  But on the accent nail I used a self adhesive nail sticker.  The whole manicure came out really well and truly christmassy.
