Couldn’t believe that Christmas, the season to drink and be merry, eat and be jolly  is finally around the corner !!!  I believe everyone is excited unless there is a Grinch living in you! (just kidding XP). There’s many reason I absolutely love and adore Christmas aside from watching my favourite Christmas movie, Home Alone all over again! Christmas season is all about getting festive ready for the home and ourself. To inject more Christmas spirit without looking like an elf or Christmas tree, I always prefer to create some themed nails. Hence, I can wear them for a whole freaking month and change them whenever I like! So instead of risking looking a little too costumey, why not check out some nails inspirations below which I’ve rounded up for you.

1. Candy Cane Nails 

Whenever you think of Christmas, you will think of candy canes as both of them always come hand in hand.

This candy cane nails are super easy to create and of course they look so cute on the nails!

Things You Need: 

• Base Coat
• Gold Shimmering Nail Polish
• Red Liquitex Acrylic Paint
• White Liquitex Acrylic Paint
• A paint brush
• Top Coat

Instructions: 

1. Paint your nail bed with a layer of base coat.
2. Once your base coat has completely dried, it’s time to paint your nails with gold shimmering nail polish. I will suggest you to paint two layers so that the nail colours can turn out nicely and even.
3. When all the nails are dry, take a brush and dip into white liquitex acrylic paint and draw a J on the tip of the nails.
4. Then, wait for a couple of minutes until all of them are dry in order to decorate the candy cane with red liquitex acrylic paint.
5. Lastly, paint your nails with a layer of top coat and you will have the perfect candy cane nails.

2. Christmas Tree Nails 

A simple Christmas tree design is the easiest way to wear your holiday spirit on your fingertips.

Things You Need: 

• Base Coat
• Light Green Nail Polish
• Forest Green Nail Polish
• Glitter Nail Polish
• Star Sticker or star-shaped rhinestone
• Top Coat

Instructions

1. Apply a base coat on all your nails.
2. After the base coat has completely dried, apply the light green shade of nail polish. I will suggest you to paint two layers so that the nail colours can turn out nicely and even.
3. Then, wait for at least 30 minutes to proceed to the next step as the next step requires tape.
4. Cut one to two inch segments of tape in half and placed the straight edge along the nails to create the triangle shape.
5. Next,  paint a coat of the deep green shade over the tape to create your Christmas tree.
6. While the paint was still wet,  paint a layer of glittering polish to add the ornaments and lights to my tree.
7. Peel the tape off and you will have a sparkling triangle.
8. Lastly, to make it really look like a Christmas tree, add a star-shaped rhinestone or star sticker to the top of my trees with nail glue.
