Happy New Year 2021!

Happy New Year! I hope this year brings you positivity and good things, and I hope it was better than the last! It feels strange to me that 2020 is over but I know we're not out of the woods yet, at least we're a bit better prepared for it now (I hope!). I created this new year nail art with a few themes in mind, I wanted a bit of a 20's vibe given that we are in the 20's again, and a party vide, and also really wanted to make a decal for my thumb nail with this cute image from one of my Christmas stamping plates.

I started with a base of deep purple and pale grey (colours listed below the pictures) after seeing the purple one advertised again on Instagram - I love it so thought I'd get it out again for this. On my index and little finger nails I used images from Mo You London's Back To The 20's 04 stamping plate, and for my middle finger their Noel 09 plate. The fireworks were done with the Festive 05 plate, and though they don't show up as well as I would have like I kind of like the subtle look. I used MYL's Typography 04 plate to add the 2021 numbers over the top. I do wish I'd started a little further to the left but I'm please with how crisp they are - the Dance Legend stamping polish is great!

On my thumb nail I created a decal using the advanced stamping technique, you can see how here. I'm pleased with how the colours came out and how the skirt matches my other nails. The image is from MYL's Noel 01 stamping plate. Overall although there were a couple of tweaks I'd make (as above) I'm really pleased with these!

P.S. My nail new years resolution this year is just to keep trying to improve my nail pictures :)
