Santa Nails

Equipment: - Base coat
           - Top coat
           - Nude nail polish
           - White nail polish
           - Red nail polish
           - Black nail polish
           - Pink nail polish
           - Dotting tool

Step 1: After preparing your nail with a base coat, proceed with
        two coats of your nude polish.

Step 2: Take your red nail polish and paint a section near your
        cuticle, this section should cover roughly 1 third of
        your whole nail. This will be the Santa's hat.

Step 3: Take your white nail polish and cover a third of your
        nail, this time at the tip. This will be his beard.

Step 4: Still using your white nail polish, add a rim to Santa's
        hat by drawing a line of continuous circles. To do this
        you will need to use your dotting tool.
       
        Then use a nail art brush to connect the beard with the
        hat at the sides of your nail.

Step 5: Take your black nail polish and a small dotting tool and
        give your Santa two eyes. Clean the dotting tool and
        create a smaller pink circle just below the eyes to give
        him a nose.

Step 6: For extra shine and wear add a coat of your favoured top
        coat and you are done! :D


This is a really simple nail design to keep you festive and make all your friends jealous! Maybe you could share it with your friends so they can do it too? Also if you have any requests, feel free to leave a comment :)

I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas!

 

Reindeer Nails

There are only a few weeks left until Christmas! So I thought I should do some christmassy nails to get in the festive spirit, starting with reindeer :D

Equipment: - Basecoat
           - Topcoat
           - White nail polish
           - Brown nail polish
           - Black nail polish
           - Red nail polish
           - Nail art brush
           - Dotting tools (two sizes)

Step 1: Paint a coat of your favourite basecoat onto your nail
        and let it dry. Then paint two coats of your white
        polish.

Step 2: Use your brown nail polish to paint a oval shape at the
        tip of your nail, this will form the reindeer's head.

Step 3: Take your nail art brush and brown polish and draw two
        antlers coming from the top of the reindeer's head.

Step 4: Make sure the reindeer's head is dry and then take your
        black nail polish to paint a smaller oval shape. This
        will be the nose. On one of my nails I tend to paint the
        nose red for Rudolph :)

Step 5: Take your dotting tool and white nail polish and create
        two eyes for your reindeer.

Step 6: Use a smaller dotting tool and with your black nail
        polish create the pupils of the eyes.

Step 7: Add a coat of you favourite topcoat and you're done! :)

Please share this with your friends and leave any feedback you have - it all helps! I will be adding some other Christmas nail art ideas soon, so keep an eye out for them in the coming weeks! thank you :)
