Nail Design Guide: A Step-by-Step Approach
| Nail Design | Instructions |
|---|---|
| Red and Green Polka Dots | Start with a red base coat. Use a white nail art brush to create small polka dots over the red base. Add a clear top coat to seal in the design. |
| Candy Cane Stripes | Paint a diagonal red stripe on the nail. Repeat with a white stripe. Continue alternating red and white stripes until you reach the tip of the nail. Paint the rounded tip of the nail white. |
| Evergreen Trees with Snow | Paint the base of the nail green. Using a white nail art brush, create a triangle shape at the tip of the nail. Add small white dots to the triangle to represent snow. |
| Golden Glitter Tips | Apply a nude base coat to the nail. Apply gold glitter to the tips of the nails using a makeup sponge or brush. Seal in the glitter with a clear top coat. |
| Plaid Patterns | Start with a base color. Use nail art brushes to create intersecting lines in contrasting colors. Fill in the squares with different colors to complete the plaid pattern. |
| Tiny Christmas Trees | Paint a triangle shape on the nail using a green nail polish. Add a small brown rectangle at the base of the triangle to represent the trunk. Add small white dots or lines to create the branches. |
