I know candy cane nails are nothing new, but I never got a chance to try them last year and I feel like candy cane nails are more of a seasonal thing. Although, with nail polish I am starting to care less and less about the seasons and just wear what feels right at the moment. Carpe Nail Diem!
I started with three coats of NOPI – It’s All About the Glam from the Kardashian Holiday Collection. This is a shimmery white polish that was fairly As cheesy as some of the nail names are from the Kardashian collection (enough with working in the Ks into everything!) I did like this colour and quite a number of others.
I then used a red striper polish to draw the peppermint lines as straight as possible. Rays of sun were filtering through the bars of my balcony so I thought I’d be artsy and pair “linear with linear”. I know, I’m so creative.
This candy cane was consumed shortly after this photo was taken.

Isn't it such a nice colour? I didn't think I'd like it, but I was pleasantly surprised upon swatching!
DeleteJust ordered this shade :)
ReplyDeleteLOL, it's a pretty awesome shade especially if white is just a touch too boring for ya!
DeleteVery pretty!
ReplyDeleteI love candy cane nails :) I should really try to incorporate more Christmas into my manis.
ReplyDeleteCarpe Nail Diem made my laugh for real. In my office. By myself.
LOL, I'm glad I could do that! I laughed when I read that YOU laughed!
DeleteThese are so cute! I might try to do this using OPI and Sally Hansen polishes. I just need to find a paint brush as I dont have any nail art brushes
ReplyDelete:) chelsey
The nail art brushes help soooo much! I don't think I could paint anything if it weren't for these brushes!
DeleteOmigosh, these look just like candy canes, Jayne! I need to try this.
ReplyDeletexo, alison*elle
You know how much I love your nail art posts, so I can't wait to see!
DeleteThis is so cute, they actually do look like real candy canes!
ReplyDeleteI've been wanting to try candy cane nails but didn't know how I wanted to "approach" the nail art. (Haha, love that you said you ate it after!)
LOL, that candy cane never stood a chance after I held it in my hungry little hands!
DeleteYum! They look great, Jayne! I feel the same way you do about what colors to wear in the seasons. It matters not what colors we wear! lol
ReplyDeleteOh totally! I would wear neons in the dead of winter and dark Fall colours in the summer!
DeleteOh! LOVE IT! You have such patience for nail art :)
ReplyDeleteIt's too bad I don't have patience for anything else! LOL!
DeleteThis is pretty. Oh I wish my nails were longer, I so want to try this...
ReplyDeleteYou can do it on short nails too couldn't you? Or you can do little peppermint swirls which would also look cute.
DeleteI can never get enough of candy cane nails!
ReplyDeleteThat's why I ate this one! HAHA!
DeleteSo cute! I always wanted to do candy cane nail art for the holidays, maybe I'll actually get around to doing it this year.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I wanted to let you know that I'm following you now on Pinterest as well! Follow back if you'd like(:
