Cool nail art for Christmas!

5 December 2014 11:33 am By Jessica Mathiasz Nail art is the new art form on the block. But doing a cool nail art is not possible without the necessary equipment. Jennifer Mathiasz a girl of just 15 years, shares her tricks that you can try athome.

Christmas lights

Things you need- white, black, red and green nail polish. Step1- Paint all your nails using white nail polish. Step 2- Use black nail polish to draw an uneven line that runs along your nails. Step 3- Draw light bulbs (dots) along the black line using red and green nail polish.    

Santa

Things you need- red, white and silver nail polish, Cellotape, pin. Step 1- Tape the upper part of your ring finger and paint the below part with red nail polish. That is your Santa hat. Step 2- Use a pearl pin to apply white nail polish underneath the red nail polish to complete the Santa hat. Step 3- Jennifer doesn’t have a dotter (a nail polish equipment used to keep dots) so she uses a pin. Dip the pin into black nail polish and draw the eyes. Step 4- Paint the Santa beard in white. (tip-if the nail polish brush is too think cut an old brush in half.) Step 5- Dip the pin into pink nail polish and draw the nose. Step 6- You can do the same for the other fingers, if not paint half of the nail red and the other half white. (Use the cellotape for better results) Step 7- Apply a silver line with the silver nail polish in the middle.

Blue Christmas

Things you need- blue and silver nail polish, pin Step 1- apply blue nail polish to all your nails. Step 2- draw a Christmas tree on your ring finger. Use the half cut brush so that it’s easier, less messy and looks better. Step 3- you can do the same to all your fingers but it’ll look better if you do some other design. Here is an idea. Dip the pin in silver nail polish and use it as a dotter to draw dots on your remaining nails.        There you go some easy steps to look cool among your friends this Christmas. Hope you like it. Have a wonderful season! Photographs By upeksha madushani
