Simply take out the moon and the thumb nail and that’s what was sitting in my drawer for 2 years till I assumed I’d use it for some northern lights immediate on Instagram. I added some white and was going to throw glow in the dead of night powder on prime of that and…by no means completed. So when the immediate of Yuletide Moon got here up, I used to be very excited that I may lastly put up this design. Fortunately I had prime coated earlier than I added the white and I used to be ready to make use of my cleanup brush to fastidiously take away it with out damaging the design beneath. It’s time for this design to now not be sitting on my to complete listing.

Background: Yeeeears in the past, Sinful Colours got here out with a set of jelly polishes stuffed with shards, glitter, and microglitter. I really like them nonetheless as a result of I prefer to play with transparency. So I kinda dabbed slightly cobalt blue polish (“Kosmos”) on the prime in a sort of gradient, lined the whole lot with two layers of teal luxe (“Don’t Flake”), and drizzled on just a few streaks and dabs of purple (“Daddy’s Lady”) to provide it extra depth. It made a reasonably incredible combo, despite the fact that “Daddy’s Lady” doesn’t seem like the purple it as soon as was. Purple pigments…hardly ever as steady as we may need…

Stamping: Then I added what was technically a haunted home, however I put a stamping picture of a Christmas tree within the window, which jogs my memory I additionally had the concept of posting this design in March and saying one thing about individuals who by no means take their Christmas tree down (completely cool vibe, I’m only a Halloween gal). Then it was taking one stamping picture of a curvy slope of pine timber and positioning it throughout all my nails in numerous methods so it appears to be like totally different and created a scene. Then I freehanded a bigger pine tree and added just a few black areas for extra depth.

Moon: For the Yuletide moon, it was simply portray a circle then including slightly tint to my white and slopping extra paint round to create “moon texture”. Then I noticed it was too large and scraped a couple of third of it again off. You may kinda nonetheless see it, which was an impact I preferred so I didn’t attempt to clear it off extra.

Thumb: The thumb was simple as a result of now I’ve Nicole Diary-L13 which has an enormous picture of a snowy pine forest that match the general aesthetic. I simply needed to paint the background and slap the picture on. Solely I did it the wrong way up! So, yeah, needed to repaint that nail. My life may have been really easy. 😝 You may see the the wrong way up one within the picture with simply the false nails.
