Frozen from Disney nail art - Olaf




I watched Frozen the other day and have to say I'm in love with the movie. I thoroughly enjoyed watching it and would recommend it to anyone. Without giving too much away I have to say I was delighted to see some girl power and that for once Disney didn't use a Prince to solve all the drama. I loved the characters and my favourite was Olaf the snowman. He is cute and funny and just one of those Disney characters you have to love. So I had to attempt a Frozen mani.

Olaf didn't come out quite like I imagined but he's still cute. I started with a base colour of Zoya Seraphina. I then spoged Zoya Blu and Yummy on the top third of the nail and OPI Sparrow me the Drama and Zoya Gei Gei on the bottom third. Then I lightly sponged piCture pOlish White Wedding over every nail. I stamped my thumb, index, ring and pinkie with Essie No Place Like Chrome and bundle monster plate BM 323. I then went over the stamping using Konad white and plate BM-H02. I love the finished look of the stamping.

12 Days of Christmas Nail Art Challenge - Snow, snowmen and snowflakes



I feel a little bit of a fraud everytime I do a snow mani for Christmas. Here in Australia, our weather is far away from snow and we are enjoying some gorgeous summer days. So in homage to our summer I've done a snow man and snowflakes but teemed them with neons to add a bit of summer. The base colour is China Glaze I'm with the Lifeguard, this is an awesome neon green that I just love. I freehanded the snowman and snow flakes which I'm pretty sure you could already guess. The snowman has Orly Glowstick and China Glaze Flip Flop Fantasy in his scarf and his hat is China Glaze Towel boy and piCture pOlish Wisteria. It's definitely a different Christmas look but I like it :)

12 days of Christmas Nail Art Challenge - Inspired by a Christmas Carol/Song _Frosty




Oh, Frosty, the Snowman, was alive as he could be;
and the children say he could laugh and play,
just the same as you and me.

I've been wanting to do a snowman so when this challenge came around I knew I had to do Frosty the Snowman. Probably very un-Australian but how cute is the snowman? I am wearing piCture pOlish Wisteria as a base, this colour is just gorgeous and while I have quite a few purples this one is unique to my collection. I then stamped with Konad white and Winstonia plate W120. Below I've included a then and now photo as I did this snowman last Christmas. There is a lot of difference in my nail shape and my stamping ability has improved a lot! I love seeing how far I've come in what must be a couple of hundred manis since the original Snowman Mani.

Frosty the Snowman isn't my favourite Christmas song, War is over is my absolute favourite but I couldn't think how to turn that into nail art.

Hope you're having a wonderful week, Tx
