Easy Christmas Nail Art Tutorial - Step by step

What you’ll learn in this Christmas nail art tutorial

In this easy step-by-step Christmas nail art tutorial with Mika, you’ll see how to:

• Use foils and stickers to create a vintage gold snowflake design over a soft, festive base shade.

• Create a poinsettia-inspired foil flower using Get Tacky and red, green and bronze foils for a quick, high-impact festive feature nail.

• Turn mica powders into dreamy marble bases by mixing tiny amounts into builder gels for a soft, shimmery finish that still cures properly.

• Work with cat eye gel (including HONA’s Embers and Fur Coat to create swirls, ribbons and glowing galaxy effects.

• Add chrome detailing over hand-painted bows, swirls and snowflakes – and how Mika encapsulates chrome with rubber base for long-lasting wear.

• Build a 3D gemstone effect using 3D gel or clear builder to create a “fish-eye” lens over glitter and flakes for a jewel-like finish.

• Cheat your way to perfect plaid Christmas nails using full-coverage foils instead of hand-painting every line.
