Finished nails

Tools

I used:
  • 'Rimmel Lasting Finish 080 Black Cab'
  • 'Collection 2000 Manicure 103 French White'
  • 'Miss Beauty No. 21 Sunset'
  • 'Collection 2000 Nail Care Top Coat'
  • Nail Varnish remover
  • A dotter made from a hairbrush
  • A small, metal banded paintbrush (plastic would dissolve!)
  • A tissue
Step 1

Paint the nails black.  Don't worry if it is messy, you can clean it up at the end either with a cotton bud and nail varnish remover or you can peel it off!



Step 2

Paint half an oval at the tip of the nail using the white.



Step 3

Above the half oval paint two smaller ovals using the white. 



Step 4

On the large half oval, paint a small triangle with the point down near the top and two semi circles at the bottom using the orange.



Step 5

Paint two small black dots towards the bottom of the top ovals for the eyes



Step 6

Paint over each nail with the top coat to seal in the design.
Finally, clean up around the nails to make them look neat.
Merry Christmas everyone!

Finished nails

Tools

I used:
  • 'Maybelline New York 820 Winner Takes It All'
  • 'Collection 2000 Nail Care Top Coat'
  • Red and Green ribbon with gold dots on

Step 1

Paint your nails gold. Don't worry if it is messy, you can clean it up at the end either with a cotton bud and nail varnish remover or you can peel it off!



Step 2

 Paint clear nail varnish on the back of a short piece of ribbon and stick it to the nail. Make sure it sticks over the end and then cut it so it is flush with the end of your nail. 



Step 3

Cover the design with a thick top coat to ensure the ribbon doesn't fall off.



Finally, clean up around the nails to make them look neat.
Merry Christmas everyone!
