Snoopy eating cherries nail art

Here's another mani of me trying to join a bunch of IG nail art challenges combined into one mani. We have Green + Cherries + Paws, at first these seemed a bit off from each other but while googeling I found a picture of Snoopy from Peanuts eating a bowl of cherries, and the inspo was done. XD

I did a saran wrap and some sponging plus neon yellow glitter for the base. Then I just went on with some freehanding, paws on my thumb and pointer, Snoopy on my long finger, cherries on my ring finger and some eaten sticks from cherries. Mattified everything too. I decided to show most photos with flash, than without, because the red came out more clear then, but I still added some photos without flash because the neon yellow glitter showed off slightly better at those, like glowing. I really liked my first Snoopy nail art way more than this one, it was really hard doing snoopy from the front munching cherries, the other one I did was from the side and less details I think.

See how much the Lavelle neon glitter polish is glowing. Here detail pic of my thumb nail.

Here's another one without flash, see how dark the red looked like? But as I said the neon glitter is glowing, and irl it was a combination of the two; glowing glitter but still the red visible.

Gradient with B&W glitter

There is no theme for Nail Art Sunday this Sunday so I'll show you something from the archive. Last year I joined an Christmas Challenge where I did Christmas Elf nail art and I really liked the base colors so I recreated it. Amazingly the red Claudia and the green polish mix so good when I made them into a gradient that they create a third color, here purple. Love when that happens! Here I also decided to add black and white glitter on top, only wish I remember which one of all my b&w glitters..

Polishes used:
Claudia - 607
unknown heart shaped bottle (swatch here)
black and white glitter (can't remember which one and can't check since I'm in Germany, sorry for that)

Christmas Elf nail art

Hi, hope you all have celebrated the new year properly. I've been visiting my parents and I've had a quiet but fun time off. As you've seen I've been quite off from the blog but I suspect that most of you have been swamped with stuff to do anyhow.

Today I'm showing no.6 in the Christmas Challenge made by LovingCosmetics, which is Christmas Elf. And if I'm going to be honest I wasn't sure what it was, it's not a common element in the Swedish Christmas tradition from what I know. When I googled I realized that they looked like some kind of helper to Santa and that they had green clothing and striped socks in either white/green or white/red and that is pretty much what I got inspired by. I decided to make a gradient with green and red which came out great since the two colors integrated with each other so that the "middle color" turned purple like (Yay!). On top of this I got white stripes and some elf shoes as an accent. I'm actually more stoked about the gradient than the nail art it self, what do you think?
