Christmas Day Gradient Nails | Scrapbook Nails

I ordered some Christmas themed nail stickers off Ebay, and they arrived on Christmas Eve. What great timing! So here's how my Christmas Day nails turned out...

I used:
Base coat - No7, So Smooth

Base colour – Barry M, Silver Foil

First gradient layer – Models Own, snow white

Second gradient layer – Barry M, Blue

I used the same Superdrug sponge as in my last gradient mani & then topped each nail with a cheeky snowflake.

The pictures I took do not do this justice, I LOVED this mani, and it lasted a good few days. I think the layers help to prevent chipping.

Candy Cane Nails

So my candy cane nails didn't turn out how I'd hoped, but I still think they looked quite nice.

Instead of the ring finger being different, I had my pinky nail different, adding a layer of glitter on top of a solid red base.

I used:

Base - OPI, Alpine Snow

Stripes & pinky - RIO, metallic red nail art pen

Glitter - OPI, I Lily Love You

I decided to add a matte topcoat.

Boots, No 7, Stay Perfect Matte Top Coat

Christmas Water Marble

I wanted to do a festive water marble using gold, red & green.
I used a base of OPI's Alpine Snow, then for the marble colours I had a few options (shown below) but in the end, I used:
Barry M's Gold Foil - 320
Barry M's Spring Green - 290
and Nails inc Aspen

I did different patterns on each hand, my right hand is more bold and blocky - and the most Christmassy!
