XMAS 2020 NAIL ART PT. 5 : PLAID & HOLLY WREATH ~

Christmas is closer and closer which means that I have another nail art for you! This one is probably one of my favorites of this year.

For this mani, I drew plaid pattern on my pointer and ring fingernails and a holly wreath on my middle fingernail. I remember when I was a kid we used to hang this on our front door. And on my pinky nail, I did a glitter gradient.

This nail art was inspired by NailArt_ByGracie on Instagram.

Check out the previous 2020 Christmas nail art :

FALL PATTERNS ~

Here’s another fall nail art. I really like how it turned out, it’s not necessarily the typical fall color except for the red brick. It’s clearly this color that carries the whole fall vibe of this mani lol.

This design kinda reminds of me of friendship bracelet.

Polishes I used :

L’Oréal : Pop Poupée

Une : C07

Essie : Groom Service

Maybelline : Lookout Lemon

FALL ISN’T OVER YET ~

I know that once october and Halloween are over, everyone has their eyes on Chistmas. I'm not talking about anyone specifically but I have friends like that lol. Fall isn’t over yet so it’s still time for me to post my nail art.

I did something simple for this fall nail art : some flowers on my middle fingernail and a plaid design on my ring fingernail. 

I was inspired by a design that I saw on Pinterest. 

Polishes I used :

Essie : Coconut Cove

Essie : Getting Groovy

Essie : Lady Godiva

Une : C14

L’Oréal : Waters Edge

Rimmel : Round and Round In Circles

STRIPES & PATTERNS ~

I usually do patterns on top of gradient but I wanted to try with stripes. It’s way more time consuming than doing a gradient tbh. It was worth it after all, this mani looks good lol.

I’m not really sure to like the stripes + patterns combo better than gradient + patterns one. 

Polishes I used :

Maybelline : It’s A Boy

Maybelline : Maybe Blue

Essie : All The Wave

Essie : Dress Call

L’Oréal : Nymphea

Honestly, who needs Halloween when this whole year has been a fucking horror movie.

PEACE & WHATEVER ~

I’m back with a colorful nail art! Once again, I succumbed to the current trend which is Tie-dye. It was a lil bit difficult to do the swirl but I think that it looks good. The smileys look like they’re going through a hard time but they’re smiling to pretend like everything is ok, such a mood lol.

This nail art is perfect for summer. I was inspired by Nailart_ByGracie on Instagram.

SUMMER STARS ~

This mani is perfect for the summer days! I feel like stars are becoming one of my fave things to do on my nails. The starry nail art I’m most proud of is definitely this one.

Btw, I’m going back to my regular schedule : 1 post/week. I posted everyday for almost 3 months (quarantine effect!), I’ve never been this active lol. Tbh, I liked to post everyday, it was like a part of my routine but now I don't have enough content to post everyday to I have to go back to my old schedule.

Polishes I used :

OPAL STONES ~

I really like how these turned out! I followed the tutorial BadGirlNails posted on her IGTV and I must say that it was easy to do. I see a lot of opal nails here and there and I always thought that it was the kind of design that would turn shitty if I did it.

Polishes I used :

Barry M : Fortune Teller

Essie : Nama-Stay The Night

Essie : Mademoiselle

Essie : Getting Groovy

L’Oréal : Nymphéa

SHADES OF RED ~

This nail art is literally the definition of “I was lazy but I tried to do something somehow fancy” mani. Proof that you can do cool nails even when you’re lazy.

So for this nail art (if you can call it like that lol), I applied different shades of red polishes on each of my nails from the darker to the lighter. Then, I put some stars strass near my cuticles.

Polishes I used :

L’Oréal : Rubis Folies

Barry M : Red Black

Barry M : Passion Fruit

Essie : Beauty Marked

Essie : Be Cherry!

Revlon : Queen of Heart

FLOWERS PLEASE ~

When I said that I would put this polish from L’Oréal to good use, I didn’t lie. I really like it. 

For this floral nail art, I was inspired by Nyanails on Instagram. My flowers are not as good as hers but I did my best lol.

CHIC CHEETAH GIRL ~

I have an animal print nail art for you today and more specifically leopard print. I’m really not an animal print kind of girl. For example, I would never wear clothes with animal print. This is so not my style lol. But I like to do leopard print from time to time on my nails. My friend said this nail art wasn’t too much so I guess it’s fine lol. I like how this mani is sober.

So I did leopard print on my middle and ring fingernails. Then, I drew a fine line on my pointer and pinky fingernails.

Polishes I used :

L’Oréal : Nude Demoiselle

Hema : n°11

STARS & STRIPES ~

Stars... again! I’m going to have a PhD in drawing stars on my nails lol. 

Like in my last starry nail art, I used white to outline the stars and I think that it gives a softer look than if I had used black. 

Polishes I used :

Essie : Dress Call

L’Oréal : Nymphea

Etam : Baby Boy

Maybelline : Lookout Lemon

RAINBOWS & STARS ~

This nail art is here to remind you that better days will come not now but soon lol. I love doing rainbows on my nails, it instantly makes everything cheerful. And to make this mani even more cheerful, I added my beloved stars. I hope you’re not sick of those stars because I’m not done using them. 

The inspiration behind this mani is really simple. I took the middle fingernails of my “2020 : good vides only ?” (btw, the answer to this question is “hell fucking no!!!!”) design and reproduced it on all my nails. If this doesn’t tell you how much I love rainbows, I don’t know what will lol. And I sprinkled some stars to spice things up.

Btw, I love this off-white polish from L’Oréal. I literally didn’t remember having it but now that I found it, I will put it to good use! This one is a dream to apply not like most of the nude lacquers thanks to its wide brush. Plus, the odor is not chemical like your usual nail polishes. Its formula infused with oil leaves your nails with a pleasant smell.

Polishes I used :

L’Oréal : Nude Demoiselle

Essie : Be Cherry!

Essie : Mojito Madness

Maybelline : Electric Yellow

Maybelline : Broadway Blues

Bourjois : Orange Création

Rimmel : Round and Round In Circles

INTO THE JUNGLE ~

Another nail art that I did to match my co-worker’s nails! We did it for the release of our company catalogue. For the little story, I work for a skills training company (not the sexiest field, I know lol) and each year we release a catalogue with all of our courses. The theme of this year catalogue was plants to symbolize the competences growth. So I reproduced the cover on my nails and my co-worker asked her nail lady to do it too. I was quite nervous to do it because I never did this type of nail art before but turned out the most difficult part was finding the right colors lol. I like them, they look cool I think. My co-workers were quite impressed because they looked like the cover.
