Nail Art I Loved, Part 1

I found myself with a few hours, a lot of polish, and chock full of the Christmas spirit.  The small tree in the living room is my tree.  It's silver holographic tinsel, neon ornaments, a purple peacock, and a bright peridot green ribbon topper.  I love it, and it happens to be one of my favorite Christmas decor decisions ever.

That being said, the inspiration for the below came from that tree.

I started out with two coats of Color Club Wild Orchid, a really pretty purple gray with a touch of shimmer.  It's sheer and streaky at one coat, but two evens things out nicely.
Next, a triangular swipe of Layla Mercury Twilight, and then I used my long striper brush to place some swipes of Color Club Wild At Heart, forming a rough tree shape.
I dotted on some neons in pink and orange for ornaments, and added a (very hard to see) bough of Color Club Gift of Sparkle.
Dotted with a silver holographic hex glitter each, I had myself some festive trees!

Ornaments are a bit more in line than I would have liked.

This picture seems so brooding.  Like it's saying "yah sure, Christmas, but what about Mother Earth, man?"

Yayyyyyyyy successful freehand!

The whole thing wasn't awful, and once I got the hang of using the striper, it all went pretty quickly.  If you're serious about nail art, I recommend going and grabbing a set of nail brushes.  It makes creating so much less intimidating.
