A little late but HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR. Chinese New Year was February 19th, the start of the Year of the Sheep (or goat or ram - the Chinese word could mean either). Also referred to as the Lunar New Year, Chinese New Year is traditionally celebrated to honour deities and ancestors. For me, this means big family dinners with a lot of food, multiple dim sum outings, and red pockets of lucky money from aunts, uncles and grandparents.
This year was a little more quiet so to celebrate the Year of the Sheep, I decided to paint the little pillows of fluff on my nails. The sheep shapes were inspired by Angela of Do Want Makeup. I'm a novice nail artist so I kept things simple and stuck to anything I could do with a dotting tool.
The red background symbolizes fortune and joy (and also wards off evil spirits) in Chinese culture, while I used a dotting tool and a white polish to create the fluffy sheep, a nude polish for the sheep's face and a black and a dotting tool for the eyes and legs.
