Here's my design for New Year's Eve. The base is my favorite polish, it's Aztec by Accessorize. Then I used a gold striper from Andrea Fullerton to do flicks in circles for fireworks. Over that I used Barry M white nail art pen to write 2014 then went over the white with a blue striper from Andrea Fullerton. Then just to add a bit more sparkle I placed a few gems randomly over my nails to finish off!
I'm a 18 year old girl from England and I just love painting nails. I have an instagram, twitter and facebook page, all of them are carysdoesnails. Please follow/like them, it makes me happy! :)

Essie- a cut above
Merry Christmas! I've just opened my stocking and was very delighted to see the prettiest pink glitter polish I have ever seen! It's Essie A Cut Above and I just could not wait to try it. I decided to layer it over Accessorize Cinder Rose and add a little silver circle stud at the base of my nails. It was very easy to apply; the glitter went on very evenly, only took a bit of arranging to get it beautifully distributed over my nail and I didn't need to use that much of the polish to get a nice amount of glitter on my nails. And it's just SO pretty!

Reindeer nails
For this design I started off by painting my nails a pale blue with white spots on top. Then I used a brown polish to draw a semi circle at the base of my nail I then used a big dotting tool to draw on the noses in a pale pink and red on the ring finger for rudolph! For the eyes I just placed a white dot with a black dot on top of it just above the nose.
And finally to draw the antlers I used a black nail art pen.

Snowman nails
Another Christmas design! For this one I have a snowman on my over my thumb and ring finger. Head on my ring finger and body on my thumb! I used black on a big dotting tool for the eyes, mouth and buttons. I used an orange nail art pen to draw a triangle for the carrot nose and to draw the scarf. For the scarf I also used a green nail art pen to draw stripes on it.
On my middle and little finger I painted over the white with a gold glitter polish then attached all different sized pearls over them randomly.
Finally on my index finger I used a light blue striper to draw little star/snowflake shapes.

Purple Glitter and Rhinestones
These nails are just frosted plum by gosh with a bit of extra glitter and sparkle! All I did was paint my nails and whilst they were still wet placed some chunky glitter on the base. Then added a blob of clear nail varnish over the glitter to secure the rhinestones. I then sealed it all in with my topcoat! Very simple and easy to do, but very pretty and sparkly!

Elf and Santa nails
I started these nails by painting them all a nude. Then for my elf nails I painted all the tips green and then used a striper to draw a gold line between the nude and the green. I then used a dotting tool for the eyes. I first dotted black and then blue over the top. I also used a dotting tool and a pastel pink for the cheeks and finally for the mouth I used a nail art pen to draw on a smile! For my Santa nails I used red for the tips and used white on a dotting tool to draw on the wooly bit of his hat. I used the same technique on the bottom of my nail for the beard. I drew the mouth over the top of his beard the same way I did the elves and I also did the eyes the same way I did the elves but I used green instead of blue.
