DIY Christmas Nails

Elevate your seasonal style with a touch of DIY glamour!  Creating DIY Christmas nails can be fun and festive to celebrate the holiday season. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you achieve a festive and Christmasy nail design:

Materials you’ll need:

1. Red, green, white, and gold nail polish
2. Nail art brushes or toothpicks
3. Base coat and top coat
4. Nail polish remover and cotton swabs for clean-up
5. Nail stickers or decals (optional)

Step 1: Prep Your Nails

Start by removing any existing nail polish and shaping your nails. Push back your cuticles and trim if necessary. Apply a clear base coat to protect your natural nails.

Step 2: Paint the Base

Choose a festive color for the base of your nails. Red and green are classic Christmas colours. Apply the chosen colour to all your nails and let them dry completely.

Step 3: Create Christmas Patterns

Once the base colour is dry, use white nail polish to create Christmas-themed patterns. You can paint snowflakes, Christmas trees, or candy canes. If you’re not confident in freehand painting, you can use nail art brushes or toothpicks for more precision. Alternatively, you can use nail stickers or decals for an easier approach.

Step 4: Add Details

Use gold nail polish or another contrasting colour to add details to your designs. For example, you can add gold accents to the edges of the Christmas tree or create gold dots to represent ornaments.

Step 5: Accent Nails

Consider choosing one or two accent nails to add a bit of variety. You can paint these nails with a different Christmas pattern or use a glitter polish for added sparkle.

Step 6: Seal with Top Coat

Once you’re satisfied with your designs and they are scorched, apply a clear top coat to seal in the colours and designs. This will also add a glossy finish and help your manicure last longer.

Step 7: Clean-Up

Use a small brush or a cotton swab dipped in nail polish remover to clean up any mistakes or excess polish around your nails.

Step 8: Finishing Touches

If you want to add a bit more flair, you can consider adding rhinestones, glitter, or other embellishments to your nails. Remember to have fun with the process and get creative with your designs. Experiment with different patterns and colors to create a unique and festive look for the holiday season.
