Hey all! This is the 2nd NOTD for Christmas of my 12 Christmas Nail Design series. And though I've called it Vintage Christmas, its really a mix between vintage and retro. This design was inspired by this Retro Christmas Card I saw in Etsy (view it here) but the colours are really vintage.
When I saw the Christmas card, I was prepared, to change my title to Retro Christmas, plus I thought that'd be something different for a change. But.... after so many fail attempts for detailed snowflake, I just threw that idea away. Lol. I've even thought of changing my whole plan and go for a different nail art all together. But, I really liked the stripes, the colours and the idea of snowflake on them. Which is why, in the end, I settled with this look and a really simplified star-looking snowflakes with little dots of snow.
While I was still doing this NOTD, I saw Jessie from Nailed It NZ posted a stripe tutorial (seriously its awesome!) Although I've did mine in a very tedious way, I was surprised we thought of the similar colour scheme! Haha! I think it just shows how well these colours goes together :P
So, I hope you've enjoyed looking at these nails. While I continue to enjoy sipping my Peppermint Mocha Frappucino ;) Gotta love peppermints during this time of the year. Haha! Have a great day y'all!
