Ho, ho, ho, Merry Christmas!
Christmas is almost knocking at the door. And the preparation for this eve is almost over. I am planning to visit my parent’s place. Before that I thought of a Santa (Christmas) inspired nail art. So that we all can decorate our nails dedicating to our lovely & cute Santa. Isn’t it a cool idea?
You will need:
1. Base coat (optional but recommended to prevent staining)
2. White opaque nail paint
3. Red opaque nail paint
4. Black opaque nail paint
5. Top coat (optional but recommended to prevent chipping)
6. Tooth pick or ear bud
7. Scotch tape
Steps:
1. First of all apply a full coat of base coat. This step can be skipped but I always recommend going for it. A base coat prevents staining of your nails.
2. Once base coat has completely dried, take strip of scotch tape and put it vertically.
3. Apply the white nail paint vertically on the nail as in the picture to make Santa’s beard.
4. Once the white nail paint dries remove
the strip.
5.
Now again take a strip of scotch tape and put it vertically.
6.
Apply the red nail paint vertically on the nail as in the picture to make Santa’s hat.
7. Once the red nail paint dries remove the
strip.
8.
Using a dotting tool or
tooth pick or ear bud make the fluffy bit of the hat.
9. Now dip a tooth pick in black nail paint
and dot some eyes.
10.
Using red nail paint, press down more with your
dotting tool or ear bud to create a larger dot or oval. This will act as nose-y
of Santa.
11. Wait a minimum of 15 minutes and then apply a top coat
that will seal everything in.
Finally your Santa (Christmas) nail art is ready. I am pretty
sure you might have seen a number of Christmas inspired nail art but I know it
is the simplest one.
