Winter Holiday Challenge Day 6: Reindeer & Sleigh

Winter Holiday Challenge Day 6
Looks like the world didn't end, which means I couldn't get away with skipping today...darn! Just kidding, I had fun with this one too. The theme for Day 6 is reindeer and sleigh. I just did the reindeer part though, because it's so much cuter than a sleigh. I saw this on Simply Rins and thought it was a great idea! Also thought it would be a good opportunity to put Orly Pure Porcelain to use.

Sorry about the extremely dry hands...the cold is no bueno for my skin. Does anyone notice anything missing? I forgot something...which is kind of a bummer. I forgot to paint their ears!! Eek! I hope it's not too obvious. Of course it is after I pointed it out, shouldn't have said anything. :P I painted all the Santa's reindeer (8 of them) and Rudolph. Since that left one finger without a design, I liked the whole idea of painting a girl reindeer. Any excuse to add a bow to my mani haha! I painted everything using the standard nail polish brush except for the details. For those I used a dotting tool, and a small paintbrush for the antlers. This was really easy to do! I did them really quick today as well, just for this post. Check out the other designs below, toodles!

  2. Holy hell. This is beyond adorable. Probably a candidate for my favourite mani of the year. Must bookmark this to try to replicate next year! I want this on my nails! :P Love Rudolph's sweetheart, with bow and everything. :D
