Christmas Present Nails Tutorial

Christmas time is the perfect time of year to dress up a little more than you would, and you definitely don't want to leave out your nails! The normal red and green can get a little boring, so here is my Christmas Present inspired nail tutorial.


A non-shimmer grey polish (I'm using Recycle by china glaze), a non-shimmer red polish (I'm using Valentine by Heaven Nail Lacquer), a non-shimmer white polish (French White Tip by NYC), a silver sparkle top coat with large hexagon/circle sparkles (BCC655 by L.A. Color), and (this one is optional) a gold sparkle top coat (Gold Rush by CG Boundless Color). And of course some tooth picks!


Now paint your ring finger with the white polish and the rest with the grey polish. You can use whatever colors you'd like, this is just how I choose to do it!


Using the tooth pick, dip it in the red polish. Draw lines across your nails about an eighth of an inch from the top.


Now draw an 'x' on top of the line, using the line as the center of your 'x'. Connect the ends of the 'x' and fill in the empty spaces. You now have bows!


Now, using your silver sparkle polish, take a tooth pick and pick up a large hexagon sparkle and place it in the center of your bows. If you want to finish off your nails with the gold sparkle top coat, do that now. I decided against it.


You now have your super festive Christmas Present nails!
