26 Great Nail Art Ideas - Winter Warmth

I really don't like the winter, I hate being cold and could happily have summer all year long except for one thing... my knitting. I am not much fussed by summer knitting, I like thick warm chunky knits and I guess without cold winters there'd be no chunky knitting!
So, of course I was going to do a knitty thing for the Winter Warmth prompt.
I hadn't quite decided on colours but the #fanbrushfriday colours for this Friday were cream, brown and red and I thought they'd be great for knitty nails.
I went for quite a patchy hit and miss fan brush pattern (not least because my fan brush loses bristle every time I use it and it's getting quite bald) but I think it made a great base for the knitting stamp.
I used Avon Tender, Avon Desire and M.Y.N.X Vixen for the base and then stamped with Moyra 02 Fabric Texture and Esmaltes da Kelly Fox Fur.
Such a simple mani, but I really liked how it turned out and for once I was up to date with manis so it got 2 whole days of wear!

February Challenges - Animal I Love - cats!!!

I recently did a mani with black over neon and I liked it so much I decided I'd do something similar for the #clairestelle8feb prompt Animal that I love.
I used a base of China Glaze Treble Maker, and then used Moyra 02 Fabric Texture and China Glaze DJ Blue My Mind (invisible stamping it would seem) and China Glaze Violet-Vibes with the same plate.
Then I used Vivid Lacquer VL027 and Colour Alike Kind of Black over the neon base.
Finally I added a matte top coat.
