Christmas Nail Art

Happy Christmas everyone!

I couldn't decided what design to do for the big day itself so I did a bit of everything!

As you can see I have a penguin, Santa Claus' suit, a Christmas tree, a snowman and a snowflake.

All of these are very easy to do -

Penguin

• Paint your nail black
• When this has dried paint a white circle at the tip of your nail
• Add two small dots for eyes
• Wait for this to dry, then add two smaller dots of black to complete the eyes
• Then using an orange polish add a little triangle under the eyes and on the very tip of the white circle - these will be the penguins beak and flippers

Santa's Suit

• Paint your nail red
• Wait for this to dry and the add a white French tip and stripe down the centre of the nail
• Then add on a black stripe across the nail for this belt
• Using a gold polish create a square for his buckle

Christmas Tree

• Paint a green triangle on your nail
• When this is dry use a dotting tool to add a yellow dot at the top for the star at the top
• For the decorations and lights use a chunky glitter polish

Snowman

• Paint two white circles one of top of the other, making the top one slightly smaller
• When this is dry, using a dotting tool, add on two small black dots on the top circle for eyes and three dots down the bigger circle for buttons
• Using a thin brush or red striper add on a scarf
• Using an orange polish add on a very small line for the snowman's carrot nose

Snowflake

• Paint your nail blue
• When this has dried using silver polish and a thin brush, paint a cross on your nail.  Add small 'v' shapes at the end of the cross lines, then from the middle of the cross add a smaller line coming out from the centre towards the edges of the nail

I hope you like the designs and try them out.

Happy Christmas and see you in 2013 x
