Christmas Cookies!

Since I have been drawing a lot lately, I figured I should switch it up a little today. I made sugar cookies and frosted them Christmas style!

I know baseballs aren't Christmas-y but that one is my favorite.  :)

I used this recipe for the sugar cookies. I changed it a bit though, only used 6 cups flour (I never even got to the 7th cup of flour because my beater's motor sounded like it was going to die), and I never chilled it. This recipe is huge, I think I had about 6 dozen cookies, if I use it again, I will definitely cut it in half.

And I used this recipe for the frosting.

Obviously, I also used a LOT of colored sugar and a couple kinds of sprinkles.

Happy Holidays!

Candy Cane Nails

I finally gave in a did something Christmasy to my nails. I've been seeing pictures all over the internet of people's candy cane nails, below are mine. This was the first attempt and I have volleyball in like 30 mins so it was a little rushed. I'm typing ridiculously right now even though the Seche Vite is no longer finger-printable. Still, it turned out better than I thought it would.

It looks a lot more cute in person-when it's not so close up lol. You can really see China Glaze Ruby Pumps in this last one. The white is Rimmel French White Tip Pro, and as always, 2 coats Sally Hansen diamond strength nail hardener as a base and Seche Vite Fast Dry Topcoat.
