Christmas is finally here and now that I'm back home in South Carolina surrounded by my niece and cousins, there's no better way to bond than over at-home manicures. So, today before we dig into the deep-fried turkey, collard greens, candied yams and fruit cake, I'll challenge them to creating the tiniest Christmas tree ever.

For this look, Nailside blogger Jane applied a base coat of OPI Jade is the New Black before painting on China Glaze Mistletoe Kisses. Once dry, she placed two strips of stationary tape, creating a chevron shape, onto the "flash" nail. Then she randomly stuck on smaller strips across to form garland before layering on China Glaze 2030. Once the design dried, Jane carefully removed the pieces of tape. To finish, she added a red rhinestone for the tree topper and set with top coat.

What do you think about this abstract Christmas tree-inspired manicure?

I like this post very much. The displayed fashions and designs are exclusively suitable for the

people of all the regions. These are right things for right person. People who use them will

definitely feel an extraordinary change in them.

There is also a site which shows the modernity about fashion and modeling agencies. I wish you to must see it.

Yuck. I'm not a fan of nail art. To me, it looks cheap and cheezy and this looks no different than any other I've seen.

Imagine how much better it would have looked if they had actually used a green polish that resembled the green of Christmas.
