And now let’s get into the 10 christmas nail designs!
Don’t forget to give this video a thumbs up if you love my holiday nail guides and
also let me know which design is your favorite in the comments.
The first design is a super cute penguin wearing a santa hat.
Begin with a light blue base and then use a black polish to create the penguin’s body.
This is really easy, just pretend you’re painting the shape of your nail, but a little
further down than normal.
Then use a red striper to draw to curved lines for a santa hat.
Fill it in.
Add a white pom pom and lining using a white polish and a small dotting tool or toothpick.
Then add a stroke of white polish for his belly.
Then two big white dots for eyes, with two little black ones for pupils.
Using a toothpick, add a little triangle for it’s beak.
All done!
Next up is some festive holiday bulbs.
Begin with a white base.
Next use a black striper to draw two thin lines down your nail.
Use a metallic silver polish to create a big circle for one of the bulbs.
Then use a sparkly blue polish for the other bulb.
Finally use a toothpick to add two little bows on the string.
And that’s it!
The third design is a nail covered in holly.
Begin with a metallic silver base.
Next use a dotting tool to add red berries over the nail.
Make sure to space them out to leave room for the leaves.
Once that’s done, go in with a toothpick and add the leaves.
I like to begin each leaf with dots to map out the sharp points of the leaf and then
connect them all with curved lines.
Finished!
Next up is a sweet peppermint swirl candy.
Begin with a white base.
Add a very tiny dot in the middle of your nail for a guideline, and then add four thick
curved lines meeting it.
I like to do two thin curved lines for each thick stripe and then fill it in.
Next add four thin green line in-between the red stripes.
Finally add a little rhinestone in the middle of the candy for some extra sparkle.
So cute and pretty.
Let’s do a super easy one next.
A grinning snowman.
Begin with a white base.
Next add two big black dots for eyes.
Use an orange striper to easily add a carrot nose.
And finally use a smaller dotting tool to add a mouth.
Simple and cute!
This year I wanted to do a cute and silly looking santa.
Begin with a light green base.
Next use a white polish to add a thick white tip to your nail.
Then add a white rectangle on top of it for the white part of santa’s hat.
Use a red striper to draw his hat.
Fill it in.
Next add a white pom pom and then use a nude polish to add a half circle for his face.
Add two small black dots for eyes and use a red polish to create a big red nose.
And he’s ready to deliver gifts!
With the Minion craze going on this year, let’s do a holiday inspired Minion!
Begin with a yellow base.
Then use a red polish to paint in the top quarter of the nail.
Then add a red tip to the nail.
Next use a dotting tool and white polish to add some lining to the santa hat.
Use a black striper to add a black line for the goggle strap.
Then add a big grey circle followed by a slightly smaller white one.
Add a little black pupil and then use the black striper to add a smile.
Ready for some Christmas mischief.
One of my favorite Christmas movies is Elf, so I decided to do a nail inspired by his
suit.
Begin with a green base.
Next draw a vertical line down the nail using a black striper.
Then add a thick black belt.
Use a white polish and a toothpick to draw a collar near the cuticle.
Then fill it in.
Next use a metallic gold polish to add a buckle to the belt.
Finally use the black striper again to outline the white collar.
Buddy the Elf would definitely approve.
It’s not Christmas without the tree, so let’s do a quick one.
Begin with a red base.
Next use a dark green polish to easily draw a big tree on the nail.
See?
It’s very quick and simple to do.
Then add either a rhinestone, yellow dot, or a golden snowflake to the top of the tree.
Finally add some bulbs to the tree using a dotting tool.
A quick and simple tree.. all done!
And finally, I had to include my all-time favorite christmas design which is a candy
cane.
Begin with a white base.
Next add a thin red stripe diagonally across the nail.
Follow this stripe with a thicker one.
Then add another thin one.
Then leave a gap and add another thin one, followed by another thick one.
This has always been my favorite Christmas design.
Remember to finish all of your nail designs with a fast drying top coat.
And that’s it!
