For today's nail art my inspiration was "Christmas gifts".
The middle finger, ring finger and pinky have a gift ribbon design. At the crossing of the ribbons I've painted a poinsettia.
The index is my favorite.
As inspiration I've used a cut-paper work design (cut art).
It existed of two pieces of paper, different color. One is used as base, the other is used for cutting.
The cut paper design then is placed on top of the other paper, making it somewhat 3D. Sometimes 3D pieces are also applied to increase the effect.
I used almost the same design as I've seen, but sized to finger nail and a little simplified.
This is all hand painted and perhaps you think you'll never be able to do this.
Well, I thought about that and came to the idea that you could stamp on your base first and only have to paint the outlines and cross of the gift or just a cross if you're making a window.
Swatches, reviews and nail art. All art is made by me on my natural nails. Mostly free hand.

Day 303) Ballet nail art
Today I had an urge to do some pretty, sweet and pink nails.
I didn't have to look far for my inspiration...as I was a ballet dancer in my younger years (before I started to love food hahaha).

Day 277) Breast cancer awareness month
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month (BCAM).
Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer among women.
Main goal for this month is: Increase awareness of the disease and raise funds for research into its cause, prevention, diagnosis, treatment and cure.
The campaign also offers information and support to those affected by breast cancer.
And I guess we are all thinking about the people we already lost due to this disease.
To increase awareness I think it's my duty to make some nail arts for this cause.
Therefore some pink designs, pink ribbons (breast cancer symbol) will be here this month.
For today's nail art I used a pink ribbon as the body for a butterfly:
Used polishes:
- OPI Couture de Minnie A Definite Moust-Have (pink)
- OPI Couture de Minnie Chic from Ears to Tail (light pink)
- Goodmark Nail Enamel B13085 (white)
