Wrapping Paper Nails, Christmas Gifts on eBay and a Giveaway


Sponsored Content



I really can't believe Christmas is less than one week away. I feel like we were still in November last the weekend! I still have a few things on my to-do list so I'm hoping I can fit them in before the big day. I have a few days off just before the 25th so it's going to be the usual mad dash to the finish line! This year has been another dry one for me when it comes to Christmas nail art and even when I do create some, it's just 'barely there' Christmas! Today I've gone for a Christmas paper look. All classy, like!

My Inspiration

Believe it or not, I don't get gifted a lot of nail themed items at Christmas. I'm very fortunate to have more nail polish than I'll ever need and I think my friends and family have realised this! I have a theory that they don't bother getting me nail stuffs in case I already have it in my stash (which, let's face it, I probably do). However, it got me thinking - what would be the perfect gift for a nail lover who (seemingly) has everything?

If you're scrambling for some last minute gifts ideas, I've put together a collection on eBay, Gifts for the Nailista, with some ideas you might like. Most are somewhat out of the ordinary and I threw in a few of the usual suspects too! My personal favourites are a Year's Supply of Top Coat (you really can't go wrong with this one) and the one that's at the top of my own wishlist this year, the Gelish starter kit!

Nail Art

To wrap my nails all up in paper, I used Barry M Coconut and NYC Flat Iron Green as my base colours. Flat Iron Green has turned so dark under the stamping and top coats that it just looks like a straight up black now but I think it's quite a nice contrast to have the black vs. white.

For the stamping, I used the baroque patterns from MoYou Fashionista 08 with Barry M Gold Foil over the white. Then stamped the snowflakes from Bundle Monster Plate BM223 with A-England Excalibur Renaissance over the black.

It's all topped with one coat of Glisten & Glow HK Girl, then one of NYC Matte Me Crazy to finish off the look.
