X-mas Nail Tutorial: X-mas Lights

So December is here, tree's are being decorated, Christmas songs are being played on the radio, and Christmas lights are being hung on trees, windows, buildings and nails.

So here's my early gift to you, a really easy simple nail tutorial. 

Christmas Light nails :)

 I've seen a couple nail designs with lights on pinterest, but came up with a easier less complicated way. Enjoy!



The colors. I used frosty colors because it gives more of a shimmery effect.


Toothpicks, and business cards. See those random business cards you have in your wallet can be put to good use. Nail polish swatches!!


Always use a base coat. I love Sally Hansen's Double Duty.
Used white as my background color, but green would look really neat also and would look like tree decor just don't add the socket part.


Using the toothpick just drawn lines, and for the socket just a square and two lines down.



 And the lines don't have to be perfectly proportioned because you can cover the messed up parts with the lines you use to attach the lights.



Adding the lights in a color order, draw them like your making a "C" with a pointed end. That's the easiest way to do it.


After all the bulbs are drawn on, I add white streaks on each bulb to give it more of a dimension. Slap on a top coat and you're bringing in the christmas cheer.


And there you go. Super Easy. Also to give it extra holiday cheer feel add one coat of a sparkly silver confetti color.


My mission this month is to do a new easy nail design each week.
