Top 5 Festive Nail Ideas
- Candy Cane StripesCandy cane nails are the perfect way to show your holiday mood. They're also fairly easy to do yourself. All you need is white, red, and green nail polish and some striping tape. First, paint your nails white. Then, use the tape to create stripes on each nail. Once you have the stripes in place, paint over the entire nail with red polish. Finally, remove the tape and add a green bow at the top of each nail. Looking at candy cane nails will definitely make you crave candy canes all the time!
- Grinch NailsWho wants a visit from the Grinch this Christmas? Show him (or her) that you're not afraid with these festive nails! Start by painting your nails green, then use a small paintbrush or toothpick to add on the Grinch's signature black dots. Use white polish to add his bright eyes and red polish for his mouth. Finish things off by adding some green sparkles around the edges of each nail.
- Reindeer NailsReindeer nails are a for sure way to get festive during the Christmas season. Start with a brown base coat for your nails. Then use a black polish to make small dots for eyes and an even smaller dot for the nose. Don't forget about the rednosed reindeer if you're trying to be extra festive. Next, use a glittery polish to make antlers on each side of the reindeer's head. Finish it off by adding some gold hooves at the bottom of each nail.
- Christmas Tree NailsChristmas tree nails are one of the biggest holiday nail trends during the winter season. Begin by painting your nails green as a base coat color(or any color if you want an artificial tree). Once that's dry, use a toothpick or dotting tool to build upward triangles starting from the bottom corner of each nail until you reach the top point. Use different colors for ornament balls (dots) and top stars(single dots)and finish with topcoat for protection!
- Santa Claus NailsPaint your nails red and white to look like Santa's suit. Then add a small black belt and gold buckle at the center of each nail. For the finishing touch, paint a tiny Santa hat on your featured nail.
