Sparkly Christmas Nails: Design 1, Glitter
Combine these two different nail art designs to create a unique look. We’ve gone for a metallic nail on the index finger only but you can alternate designs on each nail for a more stand-out finish.
Step 1 – File & apply white base
Shape and buff nails until they are all similar. Then apply two coats of while polish until the base looks block colour – never streaky!
Step 2 – Glitter it up
Once your base coat is dry, take a glitter-specked nail polish and apply a coat of glitter. Build up the coverage until you get enough sparkle to dazzle at first sight. Finish with a clear top coat to prevent chipping and add a glossy touch.
Sparkly Christmas Nails: Design 2, Metallic
Step 1 – White base
As before, start with a block colour white base. Ensure you have a streak-free finish as the white will be showing more clearly with this design.
Step 2 – Add metallic stripes
Dip a cuticle stick in silver metallic polish and draw four horizontal lines across the nail. Go freehand if you have a steady control over the stick or use nail stencils for a little guidance. Once your nail art is dry, finish with a clear top coat.
