Advent Nails!

Advent Nails😄💅

Happy Advent, everyone! Though most people will already tell you Merry Christmas, Advent is the season right before Christmas. Christians celebrate several season throughout the year called the Liturgical Year, Lent, Eastertide, Ordinary Time, Advent, and Christmastide. 

  Advent is about four weeks long, represented by two colors on the Liturgical calendar, purple and pink. Each week also represents a virtue, hope, faith, joy, and peace. Also, we have a wreath with purple and pink candles and light one every week. The reason I painted my thumb white is because the color for the Christmas season is white, not red and green. 

Advent Wreath!

   

  Now that we know the facts, let's start on the project. Here's what you need to get before we paint.

    Supplies!

• Purple nail polish (the darker the better)
• Pink nail polish (the lighter the better)
• White nail polish
• Clear top coat
• Paper towel or napkin
• Glitter nail polish for each color (optional)

     Steps!

             Start by paint your pinkie, ring, and pointer fingers with the purple nail polish. Coat as many times until you have the desired shade.

                                         

              Next, paint your middle finger with the pink nail polish. If the polish is very light, paint a layer of white under it . Coat as many times until you have the desired shade.

                Then paint your thumb with the white nail polish. Coat as many times until you have the desired shade.

           
               
                      At this stage you have two options.  1. You can paint the top coat over and dry. 2. You can paint the glitter over your nails, which I did in the picture below. I used gold glitter for the white to make it look festive. After Advent, I paint over all the other colors white for Christmas.
