Tutorial #019: Green Christmas Tree

Another Christmas nail art. This is a big and cute Christmas tree with a lot of glitter.

What you need: paper tape, a thin brush.

Colors:

  • Base Coat: Debby nail THERAPY smoothing base + minerals
  • White: KIKO No. 101
  • Light Green: RIVEEL No. 121
  • Dark Green: DEBORAH 7 Days Long No. 793

  • Top Coat: KIKO Extra strong & hard No.04

How to:

  1. Apply your base coat.
  2. Apply a white polish. Let it dry for 1 or 2 hours.
  3. Use some tape to cover the borders of the nail. Leave a big "V" empty. Cover the "V" with a light green polish. When the polish is dry, remove the tape.
  4. Use a darker green polish to delineate the tree and add some shadows.
  5. With a silver polish draw some lines on the tree. Add some silver glitter. Repeat the same process with the red polish.
  6. Use the head of a needle to make some white and red dots.
  7. Use the silver glitter polish on the white at the sides. Apply a silver star at the top of the tree. Apply your top coat.
