Incoco Holiday Cutouts...

I showed you some of the Incoco Holiday nail wraps yesterday and promised to show you a manicure that I created with a few leftover wraps. I combined two of the nail wrap designs for a simple, but fun look using an inexpensive little punch...


The small punch that I used can be purchased for around a dollar in the scrap-booking section at Michaels. I've used similar punches before in my nail art to cut shapes out of nail wraps or dried polish 'decals' and I think they are lots of fun. The small image on the top of the punch somewhat resembled a snowflake with irregular 'petals', however as you can see the resulting cutout were perfect little flowers...


Once punched out, I simply peeled the wrap off the backing and applied them to the nails. To make sure that everything stayed in place, I did seal the manicure off with a top coat, although I don't think that is absolutely necessary...


In my haste to add a top coat, I forgot that the nail wraps not only need to be peeled off the paper backing, BUT they also have a clear film on top. I actually forgot to remove the clear film and didn't realize it until it was time to remove my manicure and all of a sudden I had clear little flowers everywhere. Oy! Live and learn...


I debated adding a rhinestone to the center of these so called snowflakes, but that made them look even more flowery than they already were. Come Spring or Summer time I will definitely be using this punch for some flowers with pretty rhinestone centers...


Let me know what you think of this manicure!

Thanks for looking!

  2. Ooooh, this is so clever. I have some left over strips which I refuse to throw away so at least I know they can still be used for something! :)
