Tutorial
Difficulty: 5/10
This design will be really difficult if you don’t have a nail art pen or brush. It is possible but it’ll be a lot of work and pretty time consuming. If you don’t want to buy a nail art pen, then you can get a brush pretty cheaply and you can use it for any colour or design as long as you take care of it. You can probably also use normal paint brushes as long as they’re thin enough, but they won’t work quite as well with the nail polish.
1. Apply base coat.
2. Apply Bright Red.
3. Apply two coats of Red Glitter.
4. Using your nail art pen or brush, make the snowflakes. To do this all you have to do is:
– Draw a straight white line, don’t make it too long
– Draw another white line, the same length, intersecting the first line in the centre
– Draw another two white lines intersecting the centre, again, make sure they’re the same length
– Draw two smaller lines coming off of each line, near the end but not right at the end. You can vary the exact spacing to avoid making the lines cross over each other
5. Draw small white dots here and there in the remaining space.
6. Apply top coat.
