Well today also starts my month of Holiday Nails. Each week ( most likely on Thursdays) leading up to Xmas I will display one of the designs I came up with and explain step by step on how to achieve the look!
The first look is the most simple design I think anyone who has striper polishes and a white polish can do!
What you need:
1. Base Coat of your choice
2. A white polish (preferably creme finish)
3. A red striper polish
4. A silver glitter striper polish
5 Your go-to top coat
**Quick note, if you need to refer to my picture below**
Step 1: First apply your base coat to all of your nails. You want to protect them from yellowing and making your design last longer.
Step 2: After your base coat is dry apply two coats of your white polish to each nail, letting each coat dry in between of course!
Step 3: Taking your red striper make 8 evenly spaced diagonal stripes on your nail. Let that set a few minutes.
Step 4: Take your sliver glitter striper and fill in three of the white stripes on the nail, try to space them apart evenly. From the top of my nail I counted two white stripes, then put a glitter, another two white stripes then a glitter, and since this nail was smaller I then went one white stripe then glitter. I hope you can understand that step if not take a look at the picture below to see what I mean.
Step 5: Allow nail to dry for about 5-10 minutes and apply your favorite top coat to seal it all in. And you are done! Candy Cane nails in 5 easy steps!
I hope you enjoyed the first installment of the holiday nails series! Until next week!
