Hey everyone, welcome back! It's Monday again and I'm posting a Christmas Nail-Art Tutorial! That's right, Mani-Monday and Christmas Countdown! This is my second post on Christmas Nail-Art, I had previously done a post on called: "Mani-Monday - Winder Wonderland" If you had missed out on it, you can click on the link.
Any ways, today I've created this Nail-Art called 'Christmas Tree Lightings'. I love how pretty LED lights hanging on Christmas Tree looks. So I was inspired to do it on my nails. Well, without the REAL LED lights and electricity of course. I don't want to get electric shock! It is super easy and takes less than 20 minutes to complete. Click on the jump to find out how to create this look for yourself!
Here is the list of nail polishes and tools I've used in this tutorial. I will also list in details the codes and etc. (Do note that some products were purchased some time ago or from overseas so you might not be able to get the exact same as I used)
- Lovely ME:EX 02 Base Coat - The Face Shop
- Bright Yellow Nail Polish (YL702) - The Face Shop
- Blood Red Nail Polish (RD301) - The Face Shop
- Dark Pink Glitter Nail Polish (FPP403) - Nature Republic
- Dark Green Glitter Nail Polish (Cuckoo For This Colour; NL722) - OPI
- Super Fast Drying Top Coat - Posh
- White Nail Art Pen - KONAD
- Paint Brush (Super Fine) - Art Friend
Alright, let's begin! First step, apply Base Coat.
Second step, apply any green nail polish to all your nails. In my case I apply evenly 2 coats of my OPI Cuckoo For This Colour (NL722) nail polish. (I was going to use a bright green colour then I realised this OPI nail polish is much more closer to the actual Christmas tree colour)
Third Step, using my white nail-art pen from KONAD, draw in 'Z' lines like the Tinsel on Christmas Trees. If you do not own any nail-art pen you do not have to buy it, I've tried using tooth-pick before it works equally as well. Dip your tooth-pick into the nail polish and you may begin drawing!
When you all done with all your nails, its time to continue. Step Four, choose a few of your preferred colours for your 'LED light bulbs' and start dotting against the white lines you've created previously. Here, I'm using my paint brush to dot on the 'light bulbs' but a tooth-pick gives a similar effect. The colours I chose for my 'light bulbs' are yellow, red and a glittery dark pink! (The Face Shop: (YL702) Bright Yellow, (RD301) Blood Red Nail Polish; and Nature Republic, (FPP403) Dark Pink Glitter Nail Polish)
a) Dip your paint brush or tooth-pick into the nail polish and draw dots (like below) against the white lines
Extra Tip: If you are using a paint brush, use a small container and pour in nail polish remover, in between changing of colour, slightly clean the brush into the nail polish remover. If you are using a tooth-pick, use a new one for every colour used instead. Or simply use the other end of the tooth-pick.
b) Repeat step 4(a) until you're done doting all the colours
Step Five, wait for about one minute for the nail polish to dry before applying your top coat.
If you had re-created the above, Christmas Tree Lightings Nail-Art, do remember to tweet me a photo of it with the hash-tag of #SaigeandAcire and/ or #ChristmasCountdown! I would love to see all your lovely Christmas Tree Lightings Nails! If not, tweet me any ways I would love to talk to all of you on my twitter! Also, if you have any nail-art that you would like me to re-create, send me a photo or leave a comment below, I definitely would like to hear from you!
Anyway guys, I'll probably be blogging lesser this week as I'm away on a holiday trip, hence I'm pre-blogging/scheduling post for you guys, I'm so sorry about that. (I'll probably do like a countdown banner for days where there is no blog post) But do come back for more Christmas Countdown post next week! Wish you guys a beautiful start of the week~
