Day 29 – Inspired by Supernatural

Hi everyone! There are only three posts left until the end of this challenge. For this post is day 29 which is Inspired by Supernatural.

I’ve had a hard time trying to figure out what to do for this challenge. Mostly because all I ever think about is ghosts and most of the bloggers who did this challenge already had their nails painted with ghosts.

I thought of doing mummies or jack-o-lantern. But my sister said it’s not supernatural. She suggested I do elves.


I don’t know how elves look like, so I decided I’d do the most famous for the holidays, Santa’s Elves. I copied this design from Rina, who by the way has the best nail designs you can possibly see. If you haven’t checked her blog yet, you should. You’re missing half of your nail polish life. Anyway, mine look a lot stouter than hers and I decided to mix and match their hats and outfits, nonetheless, I just followed the instructions on her tutorial.


I used three coats Lycra Astor as base color and nail polish (which I will be listing at the end of this post) for the elves.



Here’s how it looks up close.



So does my elves look like elves? My sister says it looks more of a teddy bear. But, I like it. How about you?


Colors used:

Holiday Nails

Hi everyone! This post is a bit late for posting. But I went on a vacation during the holidays and was not able to get in front of a computer to have everything uploaded, that’s why I’m uploading it just now.

I know I’m still in the middle of the challenge. But I wanted to share with you my nails for Christmas day. Although I’ve said that I do not personally celebrate the Christmas season, it has been a family tradition to get together and have a small feast. They would also put up a Christmas tree at home.

In the middle of the challenge, before the clock strikes twelve, I decided to do some Holiday mani.



I used Bobbie Touch of Tan as base color so as not to overpower the trees. I then drew Christmas tree as accent nails on my thumb and ring finger. I drew the tree using BNC 2 way nail art pen in green. I used BNC 2 way nail art pen in red for the red Christmas balls and Caronia Silver Platinum and a dotting tool for the silver balls. For the strings (I’m not really sure what it’s called) I used Art Club Bronze.



I drew in the stars on top using neon yellow. Although the stars don’t really resemble a star, I still like how it turned out. Let’s take a closer look at my Christmas tree.



Too bad, I was only able to wear this for few hours since I had to remove in and continue on with the challenge. I liked how the Christmas tree turned out. I’m even planning to add some gifts, but due to time constraints, I was not able to do that.

What do you guys think?
