Candy Cane Nails

These nails are super duper easy to do and look really festive during the Christmas period!

 

This post is just a quick simple step by step tutorial on how to do these nails. 

It's important to prep your nails properly:

1. Cut your nails down short

2. Remove all traces of nail varnish from your nails

3. File away any jagged edges 

4. Using a cuticle remover, remove any overgrown cuticles 

You will need the following nail art ingredients :

Clear Top Coat, Red Nail Varnish (sparkly is more festive), White Nail Varnish, Nail Art Stripping Tool, Silver / Gold Glitter

 

 

5. After prepping your nails the next step is to apply a base coat I chose white nail varnish to make the red really stand out

6. After it dries, apply two coats of red nail varnish

7. After it dries, using your stripping tool and white nail varnish, stripe diagonal white lines across your nails (except the middle finger)

8. After this dries, apply a top coat and while your nails are still wet pour some glitter onto your middle nail (seal the glitter on with a final layer of top coat)

It's literally that simple and the results are great. 

Hope you enjoyed this!
