Santa Clause & Reindeer Christmas Nails


Santa Clause 
and his reindeer..
..Rudolph too! 





What I Used: 
Sally Hansen Double Duty Base and Top Coat
Opi: Black Onyx
Sally Hansen: Hard to Get (white)
Opi: The Thrill of Brazil (red)
Sally Hansen: Glass Slipper (glitter)
Fine nail art brush
Dotting tools
After applying your base coat, paint your thumbs red and a red triangle on your ring fingers.
You want the triangle to cover the tip of your nails.
Next, paint half circles using brown polish on your index fingers,
your middle fingers and your pinky fingers.
To finish the Santa hats, use a dotting tool and white paint to
add the cotton balls on top and on the bottom.
If you don't have a dotting tool, use the end of a ball point pen,
toothpick, whatever you can find around the house.
Also, using a dotting tool, add the black eyes to each of the reindeer, like above.


Use a fine nail art brush to draw the antlers on the reindeer.
Start with one straight, dark brown line and add two tiny lines to each side of the antlers coming from the head of the reindeer. Also, dot on the red nose to whichever reindeer you choose to be Rudolph. 
Dot in the whites of the eyes of the reindeer.
Try to leave a small black circle around the edges of the eyes.
Next, add tiny, black dots for the pupils of the eyes.
Also, dot on a black nose for the other two reindeer.
The reindeer are done!
On the thumbs, paint a thick, white line through the middle.
Also add a thick, white line at the bottom, edge of your nail.
It should look like an upside-down 'T'.
Paint a thick, black line right through the middle of your nail. This will be Santa's belt.
Finally, paint a super thin yellow box in the middle of the black line...to look like a belt buckle.
If you have rhinestones, you can add one to Rudolph's nose for affect. ;)
If not, just apply your top coat, and you're done! Cute Christmas Nails for the holiday.

 MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
