Step Christmas sweater nail design

Supplies:

• Gray flocking powder
• SquareHue’s Lincoln Road
• OPI’s Color So Hot It Berns
• Striping tape
• Dotting tool
• Small paint brush

Instructions:

Step 1. Base

Begin with a red base coat.

Step 2. Main design

Using the small paint brush, paint gray design elements on your nails. Include a geometric Christmas tree, diamonds, triangles and stripes.

Step 3. Details

Fill in additional triangle details in between the stripes. With the dotting tool, make polka dots as shown. Take the striping tape and cut into 4 (1-inch) pieces. Place in a starburst design on the thumb. Paint points in the red space in between the tape pieces as shown and fill in. Let dry and then remove the tape. Add a dot in the middle of the starburst.

Step 4. Fur

Let the nails dry and then paint on a top coat. Let that dry very well and then using the small brush and gray polish, paint over a few design elements and cover with flocking powder. Let it dry for a minute and then lightly blow and brush off the excess.
