I know, Christmas is over! But I still wanted to show you guys - the plain version almost more than the nail art. I wore China Glaze Glittering Garland on its own for a day:

My thumbs turned out particularly well - and the bit of green at the base of my left one made me wish I'd left a little "grass" on the other trees - or "snow" for the inverted ones:
Want to see how I cut out the stencils? Along with a small chunk of my thumb LOL but that didn't make it on camera thankfully. Here's the tutorial:
Thanks for reading =)
