Day 11 of Christmas - Christmas Nail Tutorial
By Lifeofpjern - December 24, 2017
Day 11 of the 12 Days of Christmas is Nail Tutorial.
I rarely have time to do my nails, let alone go and get them done but I wanted to share a quick and simple Christmas nail look. Below is my Candy Cane tutorial:
The Candy Cane Nail Tutorial
First, you'll need 3 nail polishes. A clear (with or with out glitter) nail polish, a red nail polish, and a white nail polish. Make sure that the white nail polish is a thin tip brush. I used:
O·P·I - Nail Lacquer in I Juggle…Men (OPI F25)
SinfulColors - Nail Polish in Ruby Ruby
L.A. COLORS - Art Deco Nail Art Polish in White (CNA901)
Step 1. You'll need 1 coat of clear nail polish.
Step 2. Now you'll need 2 coats of the red nail polish.
Step 3. Make at least 2 diagonal strips on each nail with the thin tip white nail polish. If you can't find a white nail polish with a thin tip brush, you can use a nail art brush with a regular white nail polish.
Step 4. Top it off with 1 coat of clear nail polish to seal it and finish the candy cane look.
