00:00 You asked for it, so here it is! You're watching the ultimate guide to Christmas nail art.
00:07 The holidays are my favorite time of year for nail art. So in today's video I'm going
00:19 to show you 10 different designs that will get you in the holiday spirit. Let's get started!
00:26 The first design is cute holiday lights. You guys are going to love just how easy and cute
00:32 this design is. Begin by painting your nails white and then use a black striper to draw
00:36 a random curving line on your nail. This will be the electrical cord. Then use lots of different
00:43 colored stripers to add the light bulbs. All you have to do is gently press the tip of
00:50 the striper where you want the bulb to be. And there you go!
00:57 Next up is the big old jolly man himself, Santa Claus! We're going to paint his face
01:06 on our nails. Don't worry, it's easier than you think. Begin by painting your nail a sheer
01:11 pink. Next, paint strokes of red coming down your nail as you normally would, except you
01:18 want to stop them about one quarter of the way down the nail. Then use a big dotting
01:25 tool to add white circles across the bottom of the red. Next, use a smaller dotting tool
01:34 to add white sideburns. And then use the bigger dotting tool again to add his big white beard.
01:44 Use the small dotting tool to add two black eyes and a pink nose.
01:51 So our next design is pretty delicious! Yes, it's the gingerbread man. Who needs to care
02:03 about the details? You can just paint the gingerbread man's face with a white dotting
02:08 tool. So our next design is pretty delicious! Yes, it's the gingerbread man. Who needs to
02:14 catch one when you can just paint one? Begin by painting your nail brown. Next, add two
02:21 white dots for frosting. Then use a white striper to add a curvy line for even more
02:28 frosting. Take your time while doing this. Slow movements will give a better result.
02:38 Once that's dry, add a small red smarty over the frosting for a button and a small green
02:44 one. Okay, so are you ready to get cozy with this next design? Let's bundle up our nail
02:51 with a red Christmas sweater. Begin by painting the nail red. Then use a white striper to
03:00 draw four lines in the shape of a diamond. Again, take your time while doing this. Next,
03:07 fill in the middle with either a striper or a toothpick. Use whatever you find easiest.
03:14 Add a line above the diamond. The easiest way to do this is by keeping your brush still
03:22 and slowly rotating your finger. Add another one below. Then add a few zigzags beneath
03:28 it. Use a toothpick to add very small dots near your cuticle. And finally, add a little
03:35 more. And finally, turn that diamond into four by drawing an X with a red striper.
03:42 And now for a traditional Christmas dessert. The Christmas pudding, also called plum pudding.
03:49 Begin by painting your nail a dark brown. Next, we're going to add the sauce dripping
03:56 over it. To do this, press a big dotting tool halfway down the nail, lift up slightly and
04:02 gently drag it down the nail to the tip. Continue doing this a couple more times. Then use a
04:09 smaller dotting tool or a toothpick to connect each drip with curved lines. And finally,
04:17 fill it in. Garnish with a piece of holly by using a toothpick and a green striper.
04:31 Next, I'm going to show you the easiest way to create a snowflake on your nail. Begin
04:38 by painting your nail blue. Yup, that is blue. The camera made it look purple. Next, cross
04:53 three lines. Next, add a few dots of white. And finally, add a few dots of red. And finally,
05:02 a few dots of blue. Ugh, let's pretend that never happened. Then use the dotting tool
05:09 to add dots on the ends of the lines. See, it's like it never even happened. Add a few
05:15 more dots over the nail to complete the look. Moving on, the next design is a cute little
05:20 wrapped gift. You can choose any color you'd like to use for the wrapping paper. I went
05:25 with red and then I added a shimmer red polish over it to make it a little more fancy. Next,
05:32 use a gold striper to draw a vertical line down the nail. Then add a horizontal one.
05:40 Now you can use a toothpick, a dotting tool, or a striper to draw the bow. I've chosen
05:52 the toothpick and I'm gently using a stippling motion to draw the bow. Now this wouldn't
05:59 be the ultimate guide to Christmas nail art without the tree. Here's a super easy Christmas
06:07 tree design that only uses dots. Begin by painting your nail white. Then add a few large
06:14 green dots over the nail while keeping in mind the triangular shape of the tree. Then
06:19 add in some smaller dots using a light green. Pretty easy! Then add in some tiny red ones
06:26 for bulbs and a yellow dot at the very top for the star. Next is a really cute and easy
06:34 design for a candy cane. Begin by painting your nail white. Next, draw a thin diagonal
06:46 line. Again, keep the brush still and slowly rotate the finger instead. Then leave a space
06:53 and add a thicker red stripe. To do this, draw two lines and fill in the middle. Alternate
06:59 the stripes over the nail from thin to thick. So there's still a little bit of space at
07:06 the very top so I added in a thick stripe there too. And to finish off the full set
07:13 of designs we have Frosty the Snowman. Begin by painting the nail white. Next, add his
07:20 black hat by drawing a line one quarter of the way down the nail and then filling it
07:28 in. Use a dotting tool or a toothpick to add his black eyes. Press the tip of an orange
07:38 striper on the nail to add his carrot nose. And finish off by adding six small dots for
07:45 his mouth. And that's it! You may choose to do a manicure featuring just one or two of
07:52 these designs or you could go ahead and do all ten. Either way, don't forget to send
08:04 me your recreations using the hashtag cutepolish on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Take care
08:10 and I'll see you next time!
