How to create Christmas Pudding Nails!

So it’s the 1st of December tomorrow meaning it’ll be 25 days until Christmas. I don’t know about any of you, but I’m very excited for Christmas, I just love everything about it! Today I thought I’d create some jazzy Christmassy nails to fit in with the festive period! And as you’ll know by looking at the title of this post, this tutorial is Christmas pudding nails!

During December I’m going to be doing 4 Christmas nail tutorials and this is my very first one.

To create Christmas pudding nails, you will need the following:
-
Brown nail varnish
-White nail varnish
-Green nail paint (or nail varnish)
-Red nail paint (or nail varnish)
-Dotting tools

Please do not feel like you have to rush out and buy dotting tools as cocktail sticks work just as well.

If you would like to create Christmas pudding nails, all you have to do is follow my nice and easy steps!

For the Christmas Puddings
1.) Apply 2 coats of brown nail varnish to your nails. (Excluding your ring finger nail)


2.) Let’s give our Christmas puddings some icing. To do this you will need to use white nail varnish. All you have to do is create 3 stripes but make sure they are different lengths.


3.) To complete the Christmas puddings you’ll need to add holly. To do this you will need to use green and red nail paint and some dotting tools.



For the Holly
1.) Apply 2 coats of white nail varnish to your ring finger nail.


2.) Let’s draw some holly on our ring finger nail. To do this you will need to use red nail paint and a medium sized dotting tool. For the holly leaves you will need to use green nail paint and a small dotting tool.



And you’re done! :)


I hope you all liked this tutorial! If anyone decides to do Christmas pudding nails then let me know as I'd love to see!
