This year the weather has been so nice in Edmonton, AB. It
has just started getting cooler.
It hardly feels like winter but now that December is here I
figured I should do some Winter / Holiday nails to get me in the Holiday Spirit.
This design looks like it would take a lot of skill but in a
few steps it can be done.
I used a toothpick for my nail art tool but if you have a nail
striper that is great too.
The great thing is that it doesn’t have to be perfect, the
lines don’t have to be super straight.
Some of the steps are optional because it adds definition to
the design but is completely optional.
Here’s what you need:
- Silver Glitter Polish (optional)
- Top Coat
- MatteTop Coat (optional)
- Nail Striper (optional)
- Or a
toothpick
Step One:
Apply a base coat to help protect the nails. Apply White
base color. Let dry completely.
Step Two:
Using a light blue nail polish, apply 2 – 3 triangles on the
nails. This represents trees.
Step Three:
Using a black nail polish, apply 2 – 3 triangles in between
or overlapping the blue triangles. This will give definition.
Step Four:
Using White nail polish with very little nail polish, apply
small dots and lines to the triangles representing snow.
Optional: Use the same technique with Silver or Glitter nail
polish.
Step Five:
Apply a fast drying top coat and you’re done!
To give it a velvety finish, apply a Matte Top Coat.
I thought it looked really pretty!
