I'm trying to be strict with myself on Christmas this year, especially in terms of food. I've lost weight recently and I don't to gain it back by pigging out on mince pies, but they're so delicious I'm struggling to resist. However, I decided that I didn't need to resist doing Christmas nails, what's the harm right? And apparently Twitter agreed, as I did a poll earlier and these were the popular choice!
These aren't the first Christmas nails I've done this year I have to admit, I've been playing around with nail wheels to decide on some designs and these are a by-product of that. As I was swatching the Gelish - Thrill Of The Chill Collection* (review coming soon), I couldn't help feeling Christmassy and I wanted to do some quick Christmas nails to show off the gorgeous shades of the collection, and to play around with one of the designs from my nail wheel.
I used Gelish - My Main Freeze* as the base, then added a layer of Gelish - Ice Cold Cold*, once these were cured and I had wiped away any residue I used MASH - Black Nail Polish and my Winstonia Berry Wine Brush for the detailing of the trees. Finished with another coat of topcoat.
What do you think? Let me know in the comments!

I absolutely love these! That little touch of gold really adds something to this manicure! I've done something similar to this but with zigzags and on black. I am with you on avoiding the over eating at Xmas!
