It's time to get some snowy holiday cheer on those nails!
1. Prep your nails and hands. Lotion up, remove nasty cuticles and file those babies down to a shape of your choice!
2. Paint your nails with a base coat. I used Sally Hansen's Double Duty which is a base coat and a top coat! I love me some two for one's!
2. After your base dries paint your nails with a striking silver color. Something shiny! This is the holiday's people! Or if you dislike silver or don't have it in your nail arsenal then go ahead and use whatever color you'd like. I wont judge if you use fluorescent orange! Whichever color you chose make sure you get two good coats on.
3. $#!% Start cussing because you accidentally took a chunk out of your polish. UGH. Remove and redo. While your at it go ahead and get your hand dandy cotton swabs dipped in polish remover and clean up all the excess polish you got all over your skin. We are not perfect.
3. Next chose where on your nails you would like your snowflakes. Get your striper brush and a nice white polish and start making X's and then cross through those X's. Kind of make a jack shape. As in the game Jacks. Better yet just watch this video from CutePolish on youtube. She does it best!
4. After you have your snowflake shapes go ahead and get your dotting tool (you can even use an old ball point pen if you don't have a dotter) and make dots at the end of the X shapes. Also make some dots to look like snow on the rest of your nail bed.
5. Fan your hands around, blow on those nails, do a little dance until they are dry.
6. Finish with a top coat!
That's it! Go forth with your snow dusted nails! You are ready to be admired at a holiday party or open presents!
