Pintrest, Christmas, and Nail Art

So it's been a while since I've wrote anything on this site... But, I am back just in time for some Christmas cheer. I don't know about you but I am kinda addicted to pintrest. There are so many cute ideas on there. A while ago I saw a cute picture Christmas nail art. But, I am terrible with nail polish! Especially when it comes to painting with left hand!

I have a few Christmas party's coming up and I thought I would give it a try. If I can do it so can you. Here are a few pics, tips and tricks.

Level of Difficulty: Super-duper tough!
Level of Cuteness: Adorable
Tip: Get a friend to paint your right hand, or if your left hand (if you are left handed)
Trick: When painting the reindeer paint a rounded square, add 4 legs, a tail and a head with antlers last. I tried painting the deer a few times and had to remove it because it kept getting so sloppy! So don't be afraid to remove it and try again. :)
Professional Advice: Check out http://clumsynails.tumblr.com for inspiration like these nails!

First paint nails red. I used Essie's "Russian Roulette"
Then go for it. Using a fine tipped white nail polish brush or a pen, start drawing Christmas related designs! Christmas trees, reindeer, snow flakes, whatever you want. I wanted mine to look like an ugly Christmas sweater. Aaand, voila!
Sure there are a couple of mistakes, but, as long as you go into it with the desire to make it fun and not perfect it will turn out alright! 
  Merry Christmas everyone! Oh, and if you want to see the picture I used for inspiration you can find it on my pinterest below. God bless!
