Santa Holiday Nail Art

Nail art is the best form of final exam procrastination. I've taken all but 7 polishes back to Toronto, so luckily the colours that I've got at school are holiday-ready. My Tim Horton's sweater cup inspired nails used the same colours and tools (check it out here). Today's mani is a simple little Santa on an accent nail of your choosing. 

Products Used: Essie First Base, Essie Plumberry, NYC Black Cream Lace*, Quo by Orly Purity*, the Body Shop Nail Art Pen*, and Revlon Gel Envy Diamond Top Coat*

To create Santa Claus on your nails... 

1. Apply a base coat. 
2. Paint half of your nail white. 
3. Paint the 1/4 of your nail closest to the cuticle in red. 
4. Fill in the sides of the nails with white using a dotting tool. 
5. Make large dots along the red polish to create the rim of Santa's hat. 
6. Add two black dots in the un-polished area for Satna's eyes and one red dot in the centre of the large white area for his nose. 
7. Apply a top coat to seal in the deal. 

... Voila! and there you have it. Santa on your nails with three colours of polish and a dotting tool. So cute and relatively simple. 

What do you think of this nail art design? Will you give this one a shot?
