Tutorial Tuesday: Ornament Nails

SONY DSC

Supplies you’ll need: Black acrylic paint, a white polish, five different polishes of your choice and a basecoat of your choice. You’ll also need an old mechanical pencil with lead (you’ll see why soon!) and a pallet to put your paint on.

Step One: Prep your nails and let them dry with your basecoat.

Step Two: Using the mechanical pencil with the led not poking out, make half circles in different positions on each nail. If you wanted to, you could always put more than one circle per nail.

Step Three: Using the pencil again, begin to apply your ornament colors. Some colors, like this one, will take more than one coat.

This is what you’ll have when you’re done.

Step Four: When you’re done and your polish has dried a bit, click your mechanical pencil a few times until there’s a good piece of lead pointing out.

Dip it in your black acrylic paint and carefully draw an outline around your ornaments.

Make a little “head” for your ornament.

Then make the little ornament hanger.

This is what you’ll have when you’re done.

Step Five: Once you’re done doing all the nails, apply your topcoat and you’re done!
