Hey there! This week our 40 Great Nail Art Ideas theme is Winter. As a Canadian, I'm well versed in all things winter. I know, I know, I'm propagating the stereotype that Canada is a frozen wasteland...I promise it isn't winter all the time but winter can feel very long some years. In fact, this year has been really mild so far. I was going to do a snowflake design for today's theme but, since I've done snowflakes a couple of times already this year (with more to come, I'm sure) I decided to do a mani that represents another part of winter, especially here in Canada...hockey! The NHL season starts in October, a surefire way to know that winter is coming. So here's a hockey mani using the Edmonton Oiler's colors. They're even on a bit of a winning streak right now, which is fantastic because they're not exactly the best team in the league.
For these I started with a white base of KBShimmer Eyes White Open and then added the blue and orange to the gradient with OPI Eurso Euro and Dance Legend 306.
There is a severe lack of hockey stamping images so my fellow Canadian,
Canadian Nail Fanatic, put some on her custom Fig Tree Stamps plate (that I also purchased). They gave me some problems but I think you get the gist of it.
So there you have my slightly unusual take on winter nails. You can see the rest of the folks' winter manis below. I bet there's some pretty ones!
'Til next time...
