On my nails:

Used OPI - Designer...de better! as a base colour. 

I love Christmas. And I especially love Christmas nail art. Last year I wore the second of the reindeer designs constantly, and I got complimented in shops and generally by people who spotted my fabulous manicure (ego moment) and it generally makes people in a better mood seeing small things like this. So I put together some old and new designs I've seen a bit all over the internet.

And of course you can customise background colours and such. But these are just some examples. I used dotting tools to all of them and they are very easy to do. I'm not the best at nail art so if I can do it, I'm sure some of you can to! Oh and the pug is a nail sticker I got off eBay. 

I also had a post about Christmas nail art last year. You can check it out here

DIY: Crystal necklace

You'll need:

Metal thread, crystals (with holes in), a chain, pair of scissors, super glue and a.. jewellery.. thing..

How you do it:

Cut chain to desired length

Cut a piece of metal thread, rather cut it too long than too short!

Add chain to the thread

Make a loop around the chain to secure it

Tighten it

Cut off excess thread and put into the crystal and add a drop of super glue. Repeat on the other side!

Final product:

If you're giving this as a present, find a cute box, put some kind of lining in and bam! Looks very pretty and they will be shocked when you say you made it yourself

I love crystal necklaces and it's super easy to make! Christmas is around the corner, it makes an adorable present. And who doesn't love a home made present? It's personal and you spend time doing it! So I hope you can use this little quick DIY. I had fun making it!

Where to get crystals: Ebay, I got mine from this seller. Else markets, craft shops.
