Nail art! Again! (from back in December...)

Better late than never! Here is my latest natural nail mani, from early December '20. I used the jelly sandwich method to give depth to the lower snowflakes. With this method, you paint over the art you want to appear less clearly using a transparent polish--known as a jelly polish. Then you paint the next layer of art on top of the dried jelly layer. Continue until you're satisfied!

Polish used, right hand: base is Sally Hansen gel polish "wine not", jelly polish is Essie "Knotty or Nice", white base and art is OPI polish "Alpine Snow", green art: see left hand.
Polish used, left hand: base is OPI polish "AmazON, AmazOFF", jelly polish is Pacifica "Mermaid", white art and red art is same as right hand.


Do you have a fave nail? LMK. ^^ More nail art is coming, hopefully in a few days!

so cute!!!!! The very color for December. I like them a lot. I'm so glad you have fun with them. Some of them look like fireworks!

> Yeah re: fireworks. I need a smaller brush.
The right tool for the job ;)
I think they are cute. I just noticed that the layers you said in your post. They are fascinating. I do like the 2 white ones on left and right hands, they add variation :) and you did them on different fingers yet symmetric. Have I mentioned that I tend to look for patterns and symmetry in everything?
