Merry Christmas! Christmas Nail Art!

Being as it is the season to be jolly and all that here are two easy Christmas nails you may like. I have done one pattern on each hand, but they can be effective as a signature nail or mixed up with other seasonal designs. On my left hand I have 5 little Christmas trees while on my right 5 Santa hats, I also have little Santa jackets on my toes.

Colours -

• Mavala "Tobago" Red 
• LA Colors White
• Revlon Clear
• LA Colors Green 
• LA Colors Gold 
• Seventeen Shimmery Gold 

Method 

Christmas Trees - 

1. Clear base coat to protect the nails. 
2. Once this has completely dried stick two strips of sellotape, or masking tape to the nail to create a triangular void in the centre from the tip, running up to the nail bed. 
3. Fill the void with a green nail varnish, I used a lovely rich, slightly sparkly green from LA Colors. 
4. Allow the green to dry fully and add the decorations 
1. Using a detail brush dipped in gold glittery varnish criss-cross it across the tree for tinsel 
2. Dotting tools in different colours will create the baubles 
3. Very fine detail brush dipped in solid gold for a star on top or if you are feeling very arty use white for a little angel. 
5. Once the details have all dried remove the tape carefully and add a top coat.

Santa Hats - 

1. Clear base coat to protect the nails. 
2. Once this has completely dried stick two strips of sellotape, or masking tape to the nail to create a triangular void in the centre from the tip, running up to the nail bed. 
3. Fill the void with a red nail varnish , I used a lovely rich, slightly sparkly red from Mavala 
4. Allow the red to dry fully and add the white fur decoration using a dotting tool dipped in white
5. Once the details have all dried remove the tape carefully and add a top coat.
