Nailspiration Tuesday: Snowman & Penguin on Nails

Christmas Nails

Its uber cute! >.< 

But I must admit that it wasn't a neat job. 

But cute enough! ;) 

Inspired by:

What you'll need: 

Base coat, top coat, a shimmer polish (light pink/white), green, red, white, black and orange polish, red rhinestones (optional), stripping brush/ thin brush, dotting tool/hairpin/toothpick, cotton bud and nail polish remover. 

Steps:

1. Start off with your base coat and paint your nails 2 thin coats of the shimmery polish or until you're happy with the coverage.

2. Using a stripping brush and a green polish, paint on holly leaves and stick on two red rhinestones for the berry.

3. Next, try out the penguin with this tutorial at http://madmanis.blogspot.com/2011/12/wintery-penguins-tutorial.html.

*Tip: Don't worry if you can't get it the first time, practice makes perfect! :)

4. Add on a Santa hat for your penguin like in this picture.

 5. Now for the snowman, have a look at this tutorial - http://kknails.blogspot.com/2011/11/snowman-nail-art-tutorial.html. ;)

6. Paint on a layer of top coat to protect your design. Then using a cotton bud dipped in nail polish remover, clean up any mess and you'll have snowman and penguin sitting on you nails! ;)

Have fun and all the best on your left hand (or your non-dominant hand)! :P
