An Owl

I was working on a different owl design, but it wasn't working out so I did a simple owl in a tree.  The owl was suppose to be smaller, but the acrylic paint kept spreading into the branches so it gradually got bigger.

Three coats of Cosline 303 and black acrylic paint.

Fairly short post today, but the next post will be bigger.  I recently purchased some new nail plates from Shany and Red Angel, they arrived yesterday so I'll show some images from those plates.

Minty Faux Marbling + More Nail Max

Didn't really like this when I first did it, but it grew on me.  I sponged on Wet N Wild Craze Undercover Graffiti and Sally Hansen Xtreme-wear Mint Sorbet.  The Undercover Graffiti got lost in the sponging, but you can still sort of see it.  Then I did a layer of KleanColor Holo Green.  Once that was dry, which took a while, I stamped on the draggy marbling design from large plate b or Konad m78 with Konad special polish in white and then again with Mint Sorbet.  The Mint Sorbet overlaps the white polish a bit so the white bits aren't super bright and you can see the mint stamp more.

Three more designs from the December issue of Nail Max.

My favourite is the last one.  I think the characters are just too cute, but my versions are definitely less cute looking than the ones in the magazine.

Sparkly Fame and Fortune + Nail Max X-mas

Here's Color Club Fame and Fortune layered over two coats of a holo franken that I did ages ago.  The franken is sort of sheer so the Color Club really deepens the pink.  The large flecks of glitter plus the small holo glitter looks great in real life, but sort of dull in picture.  My camera can't capture sparkliness.  Had this on my nails for a few days.  When I first saw Fame and Fortune I thought I wouldn't get much use out of it, but I am loving this combo and will probably like it layered over other polishes too.

Was browsing through the December issue of Nail Max and decided to try out a few of their Christmas designs.  I wasn't ready to take off glitter yet so I did them on nail wheel.

Here are a couple that I did.  Christmas-y, but not CHRISTMAS-Y.  And super easy.  Except for the words.  I think Konad has a nail stamp image for the words 'Merry Christmas', but I'm not sure which plate at the moment.  I don't have it so I can't use it.  I used a silver polish for the words, but I think I might need to pick up some metallic acrylic paint that I saw at the Dollarama.  It would be easier to use when writing out words.  I did a few more so I show them in another post.
