Christmas Eve Candy Cane Nails
Merry Christmas Eve Everyone!! Today is bittersweet for me. On one hand, I’m excited to see my family and enjoy the holidays. On the other, we’re celebrating at my MawMaw Green’s (the one that recently passed), so it will be kind of sad. It definitely won’t be the same without her. In the spirit of the day, though, I am sporting a festive manicure that I’ve been wanting to try for a while… Candy Cane Nails!
I started with Orly Ridgefiller because I was having some issues getting them smooth enough for this. Then I topped that with Pure Ice Platinum. I love this white, but it goes on sooo streaky! Fortunately, the streaks worked for this particular look. With the white layer dry, I cut small strips of tape and taped off where I wanted the white to show then painted over the exposed areas with NYC Broadway Burgundy Frost. I topped everything with Seche Vite, and here’s the final look:
Here’s everything I used:
Happy Holidays everyone! I hope you all have a fantastic weekend and enjoy your time with family and friends!
cuuuute nails!!
