Since I'm all about the glorious Caribbean climate, I decided to do a tropical scene on my nails. Here you can see Santa tanning on a sandy island in the middle of the beautiful blue sea.
My I did the sky-sea gradient using Sally Hansen CSM Barracuda, OPI Can't Find My Czechbook and China Glaze Towel Boy Toy. I tore off a small piece of a make-up sponge and using a pair of tweezers I sponged Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear White On on the top third of my nails to form clouds. Then, I used the Art Club white striper to draw small curvy lines on the lower two-thirds of the nails to create ocean waves. On my little finger I added the sun with Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Lightening, and on my thumb I used Art Club black striper to draw the dolphin leaping out of the sea.
Using Zoya Farah I drew a hump on my middle finger and two sloped edges to create an island across three fingers. On the edge of my index I drew a little crab using Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Snappy Sorbet and dotted the eyes on using the Art Club stripers.
On my ring finger I used a small brush to draw a coconut tree in Sacha Forbidden Fudge and OPI Don't Mess With OPI. I let the leaves of the tree continue onto my middle finger to help it seem like on picture instead of individual designs on each nail. I used Forbidden Fudge to draw Santa's body lounging on the sand, and I used Art Club Red on Red striper to draw his hat and pants.
Hope your holiday season has been warm and bright!
