Miser Brothers Christmas Nail Art
Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays from the Miser Brothers! This mani is inspired by the iconic characters from the Christmas classic "The Year Without a Santa Claus" Find out how I created this look below!
When I was a kid, my siblings and I were obsessed with the movie "The Year Without A Santa Claus" and of course my favorite characters were the bickering Miser brothers Snow Miser and Heat Miser.

Products Used
I absolutely LOVE how these nails came out, and I think they look exactly like brothers. I used a lot of polishes, most mixed together to create a bunch of colors, but I have listed them all below.
I won't bother trying to detail all the intricacies of doing this mani -- I wish I had taken photos of my process! (Something I'm trying to do in 2019...)
I started out with my base shades for each side -- on the Snow Miser side, I started out with Essie Blue Rhapsody aka a blue metallic polish. This was the perfect base for his icy character. On the Heat Miser side, I started out with Zoya Astrid, a really pretty gold shade from their latest collection.
I topped each nail with a glossy top coat, so that if I made any mistakes in sketching out the characters, I could scratch off the acrylic paint.
**If you didn't know you could do this, using a glossy top coat to seal the polish off creates a surface that allows you to scratch off acrylic paint without damaging the base coat!**
I then used black acrylic paint to sketch out both of the Miser brothers. I used this illustration for inspiration. After creating a rough outline, I filled in each bother with white acrylic paint so that all the colors I would use to fill them in would pop.
If you made it this far, thank you so much. I really appreciate anyone who takes the time to read my blog. If you like what you see -- please comment down below!
