NOTD: Winter Snowman Nail Art

     Hello everyone I hope you are having a fun week-before-Christmas. Today I have for you a fun winter manicure! 
    On Monday, my good friend George brought me two snowman glitter nail polishes from Avon. I was so excited that I completely changed my mani plan (yes, I plan my manicures) in order to use this silver glitter. I thought for a while about what I could do that I'm actually capable of (because I kind of suck at most nail art), and I looked at the snowman bottle and thought "OOH! I'll just do a snowman face, that looks easy enough!" So that's what I did, although I must say, even the simplest of nail art can be a challenge for me. I ended up screwing up the nose and had to fix it with some more white polish. Thankfully, my amazing HK Girl topcoat smoothed it out and now even my critical eyes can't see the mistake!

     As for the polishes, the blue is Sally Hansen CSM's "Barracuda"... which I'm sad to say that it is a pain in my butt. I bought it a couple months ago and used it shortly after, but I ended up removing it because it was so thick and hard to work with. This time was more manageable but still annoying. I used three coats to get full opacity without any bald spots. I do love the color, but if I knew how much of a pain the application was I would have never bought it.
     The glitter is of course, the Avon polish that my friend George gave me called "Snowflake" and I wanted it to look somewhat like snow instead of making snow with white dots... it delivered!
     The snowman was created with a basic white and black polish and Revlon's "Marmalade" for the orange nose 

     So that's it! I really love these simple winter nails and I have already received quite a few compliments in just a couple days. Do y'all like winter/Christmas nail art? What have you done so far? I would love to see and get inspiration from you guys!
