Sorry its been a while again - it's been another busy week!
Anyways, if you've read my blog before, then you will know that I love doing themed nails, and if you haven't, then now you know! I haven't done Christmas Pudding nails before, so I thought I'd try them, and they turned out to be quite easy actually!
Quick steps:
First paint your nails with a brown nail varnish. I chose Barry M mushroom as it is the only brown I have but any darkish brown will do.
Then pick a white or pale pink, preferably one with a satin or shimmery finish instead of a matt finish as this looks a bit more like icing. Then use a cocktail stick or small brush to paint this at the top of your nail as if its dripping down. I don't really know how else to describe the shape - it just needs to look like icing on the top of a cake.
Next, you need to get a red, and paint two or three dots at the top of the nails, for the holly berries. I didn't have a red, so I decided to use a pink instead and I added two red gems to each thumbnail.
Finally you need to paint some holly leaves coming from the berries. I did this by dipping a cocktail stick in some green nail varnish, then drawing a line and dotting either side along the line to create a jagged effect like that of a holly leaf.
Finish off by adding a coat of clear nail varnish, and your Christmas Puds are complete!
Hope you all like the tutorial and design!
