Holiday Snowflake Nails

What's up, everyone? So yesterday I painted my nails and I thought I'd share this cute holiday design with yall. I was looking around on the internet and found a few pictures of holiday nail art. I wanted one that was really simple and didn't take a lot of time. So I actually found this pic that inspired my present manicure.

I found this design really pretty, but also really detailed. I loved the snowflakes and just the creativness of it. Anyway, I'm not too good at drawing and keeping my handing super steady, so I decided to turn to my Salon Express. If yall would like a review or tutorial on how to do it, let me know. Anyway, it came with five plates and I found a plate that had a snowflake-like design. I really wish they would've had something like in the inspired picture, but oh well. First I painted my nail with a base coat because the red polishes tend to stain my nails. Then I started by painting my nails with the Sally Hansen Diamond Strenght nail polish in the shade Honeymoon Red.

After appyling two coats of that and letting it completely dry, I got out my Salon Express and picked my plate. I used the SE20 plate, by the plate. Here's a pic of it.

Now you can see which design I chose. I next took my ole' white striper and painted the three "snowflakes". I scrapped the excess paint away and transfered to my stamper. From there I put that on my thumbs and repeated on the other hand. Next for my ring fingers, I used my white striper to paint only the big "snowflake". I then scrapped, transfered and put it on my both of my ring fingers. Lastly, I used a topcoat after everything was dry and I was done. Let me know if you want more holiday nail post. Oh, I almost forgot. Here is the finished product.


 Well there you go. I hope yall enjoyed this little fun tutorial. I had a lot of fun making it for you guys. Leave comments below on what you think and maybe some future post you'd like to see. Happy Holidays!

Love yall!
