Nail : Christmas snow flake

Hello~!!! An early Christmas greet~ Merry Christmas lol~

Today's tutorial is about christmas again... yeeeeah~!!! Yup... I said it before we are going to have a few more christmasy videos coming up.

What can be more completely to paint your nail in the festive and iconic snowflake pattern in this time of the year. So today we are going to do a nail tutorial on snowflake nail design which is a little special since I will be using a very easy to handle paint (well not really paint but pigment) to draw on gradient effect which is a more sheer and translucent way of doing it. This nail art is subtle yet elegant and festive. Hope you enjoy~!

To start off, you will need:
1) Base coat - PritiNYC #705 2-in-1 Top / Base coat
2) Clear glitter polish - Color club #902 Covered in Diamonds
3) White nail polish - Estessimo #01
4) Top coat - GOSH #F3 Top coat for french-manicure
5) Pigment (shimmer/pearl eyeshadow) - GOSH color pigment #Purple rain  & #Azure
6) Card / paper
7) Tooth picks
8) Sponges (cut in smaller pieces)
9) Tweezer 


Step by step & video:



1) Apply base coat to protect your nail and wait dry.

2) Apply a layer on glitter nail polish.

3) When it is still tacky, use sponges, gently press the purple / blue color pigment to the tip of your nails. The great thing to use pigment is that it is super easy to clean up and the effect is so amazing. Yup... no more messy clean up steps.

4) Apply clear glitter polish on top and wait dry.

5) For the big snowflakes, draw on 1 stroke and 2 strokes crisscross over it, then add on what ever decorative pattern you want, you can do little strokes or dotted spot over it.


6) With tooth picks, pick up white nail polish draw on some random dot as snow. 


7) Follow up with top coat to seal up the design and wait dry.

Then you are done!!!
Super easy, mess-free, subtle and elegant~ ^^
