Hello everyone~!!! It's already December (OMGSH 2014 just flew by!!!)
That also means it's almost...

Christmas!

I've thought of a few nail art ideas for your fingers to join in on the festive season!
Here's the nail arts I'll be introducing on this tutorial~
This time I prepared a collage style photo tutorial! So it's easier to see the overall process!
You can just do a few of the designs or do the same design

This is a relatively simple nail art because I realized I can't draw a nose for Santa using my right hand...
So I decided to make it super easy so that you can even use your non-dominant hand to draw it! 
It's similar to the previous Santa Hat nail art, just that you're adding on the eyes & beard!

4. Apply top coat!




6. Swirly Peppermint Candy
I looove mint & peppermint so this season is my favorite because everything is peppermint flavored!

I love candycanes too but the round peppermint candies are also my fav in Christmas!

2. Use the red polish to make a dot in the middle. This will be the focal point (?) for where you start creating the swirly swirls!
3. Begin creating the outline of the swirly swirl. IT doesn't have to be even but make sure there's a nice space between the red and white.
4. Fill in the sections of the swirls that will be red. If there's anything wiiide white spaces left, add in a few thin red lines!
5. Apply top coat.

You want the leaf to look zigzaggy and not smooth/straight.
3. Use the red polish to draw the berries (2~3 of them) in the center of the 2 leaves.
Kinda looks like a hidden mickey!

(Imagine a fat stick figure)
