Another really belated Christmas design..!

Finished Nails

Tools

I used:

• Collection 2000 19 Berry Hot
• LM Nail Polish 58
• LM Nail Polish 79
• LM Nail Polish 7
• Dotting tool
• Paintbrush 

Step 1

Paint your nails red. You will probably want a base coat underneath this to protect your nails from being stained.

Step 2

Paint a small bit of glitter at the tip of each nail. Make it thicker at one end than the other.

Step 3

Using the paintbrush, paint a thin white line along the top of the glitter. It should only touch one edge of your nail.

Step 4

Using the dotting tool, paint a row of white dots along the top of the line.

Finally cover the design in a top coat to protect it.

A little bit late for Christmas but better late than never!

Finished Nails

Tools

I used:

• Collection 2000 Top Coat Sparkle with Gloss Enhancer
• Barry M 245
• 17 Green
• La Femme Jupiter 84 
• LM Nail Polish 7
• Tape
• Star shaped gems 

Step 1

Paint your nails with the sparkly top coat.

Step 2

Stick the tape across the top half of your nail, diagonally, and paint the tips with the gold. Remove the tape immediately to avoid peeling or stretching the nail varnish.

Step 3

Paint over the gold parts with the green glitter. There is no need to use tape for this step as it doesn't need to be perfect.

Step 4

Paint over this again but with the red glitter. Again, there is no need to use tape.

Step 5

Cover the whole design in the top coat, and then stick a small star in the top corner of each nail.

Finally, cover the whole design in another top coat, making it quite thick, to ensure the star doesn't fall off.

Tools

I used:

• Barry M Cotton 505
• Collection 2000 Berry Hot 19
• Unknown
• H&M Super Glitter
• La Femme 118 Top Coat
• Paintbrush

Step 1

Paint your nails white.

Step 2

Paint red streaks across your nails using the paintbrush. Don't make the edges straight, give them a little bit of curve. One main stripe across the middle and a small one at the tip works nicely.

Step 3

Using the paintbrush, paint green lines either side of the red stripes. Also add one or two thin lines on the white sections. Again, don't make these lines completely straight.

Finally cover the design in a top coat to smooth it out and protect it.
