Christmas Sweater Nails Step-By-Step
1. Clean up your nails and dry the nail plate. Now paint your nails with two coats of red nail polish and choose one or two nails for two coats of gold glitter nail polish. Ideally go for NCLA “Bullion In A Bottle” when it comes to gold polish since it contains flecks of different glitter colours in it. This makes it perfect to acquire festive holiday nail look. Let the paint dry off.
2. Take striking tape on one of your nails and put it straight on the nail in a vertical fashion. Now do the same technique to this nail but this time horizontally. So what you will get is a criss-cross pattern by using two pieces of striping tape. Continue the same technique across this nail so that your nail gets divided into 8 sections.
3. Now take white acrylic paint and striping brush. Try and use acrylic paint and not white nail polish since the acrylic paint is far easier to control when you are painting in a detailed fashion.
To get the required effect, you need to paint a V shape pointing from the center of the nail to the top in an outward fashion. Once done you then need to fill in the V’s with a bit more of white acrylic paint. Now let the drying happen.
4. Once the white paint dries up, peel off the striping tape. Yipee! You will witness Christmas nail art looking white poinsettia leaves.

Now brush a small dot of nail glue in the centre of the leaves. To pick a gem, use a dotting tool which is dipped in top coat and then place it in the centre of the flower where you had put your nail glue.
5. Apply the same technique over your balance ‘red’ nails. It means you need to use white acrylic paint and striping brush to paint stripes in a horizontal fashion across the nails.
In between the stripes, use a dotting tool dipped in white acrylic paint to position white polka dots in between the stripes.

The most creative way of doing Christmas Sweater Nails is to replace one of the white polka dots with a Swarovski crystal. Howzatt!
Let your white paint dry first. Then apply a thick top coat to all your nails so that the colours get sealed and the gems are firmly held and secured in place.
But most of all, hang on for a few minutes before you apply top coat over your white paint. Why because if it is still wet, then the top coat will end up dragging all the paint and smudging your hard work and time.
With such a wide variety of Christmas nail art shown, replicating these patterns over your nails or on your best friends’ nails becomes so much easy and enjoyable.
