Beauty How-To: Xmas Nails

Get the look!

Sure, you could don fake antlers and wear a floppy red hat ...or you could whip out the polish and paint yo' self some awesomesauce Christmas-themed nail art!

To create this look, you'll need a bright red nail polish, opaque white polish, a nail art dotting tool or toothpick, a small nail art brush or clean eyeliner brush, a base coat plus a clear top coat. Oh, and maybe grab a bucketload of patience while you're at it, because drawing the tiny snowflakes takes a lot of practice, and maybe a few bad words. But it's worth the effort, promise.

Step 1 & 2

STEP 1. Buff your nails into a neat, even shape. Next, apply the base coat and allow it to dry completely.

STEP 2. Apply two coats of red nail polish, allowing each coat to dry.

Step 3

Use your nail art brush (or eyeliner brush) dipped in white polish to draw larger snowflakes on a couple of your bigger nails.

Step 4 & 5

STEP 4. Use your dotting tool (or toothpick) dipped in white polish to apply dots all around the larger snowflakes. Next, get dotting on the rest of your nails, as much or as little as you like.

STEP 5. Allow the snow dots and snowflakes to dry completely, then apply the clear top coat to finish and allow it to dry.

And ta-da!

You're all set for Christmas!
