I don’t particularly like this flower plant, but it’s great for nails! And why is it a holiday flower? I don’t know. I didn’t make the design completely red, cause that would be boring. So here’s my version.
Inspiration: Poinsettias

One coat base coat. Two coats silver. One thin coat of gold on the ends [halfway up].

With a magenta striping paint, draw petals and fill in on the corner of your nails.

With a red striping paint, draw bigger petals.

Fill the petals in, but don’t cover the magenta petals you made earlier. You don’t have to be perfect when filling it in.

With a teal striping paint, draw a few strokes for leaves.

With a green, draw a few more overlapping strokes for leaves.

With a black striping paint, thinly outline the flower.

Add green dots in the corner for the flower.

Add yellow dots over the green and glitter the tips of the flower to jazz it up.

Follow up with a top coat.

I have a dark version of this look on right now. I’ll put it up later.
^_^

This look doesn’t have to be for the holidays. If you switch colors up, it could a cute everyday design. This is real easy too.
Inspiration: candy canes. Yummy. I should have done the red ones with the yellow and green in it. Those are my favorite. I think it’s like a tropical fruit flavor? I want one.
The pictures are a little blurry, sorry. :]

One coat base coat. Two coats color.

On a diagonal, paint on a sheer pink.

Overlapping the pink halfway, polish on a sheer blue.

Totally optional, but it’s the holidays. Vertically, glitter on half the nail.

With silver striping paint, outline the blue polish. So here, I have four lines of silver.

On every other silver line, I went over it with a white, and added a small line by my cuticles.

Here, I just added a deeper blue next to the silver lines to give more depth. Finish off with a top of coat.

I’ll have some non-holiday looks just for the heck of it & for those of you who think these are chessy. Lol. I’ll show you ones that were really popular with me, the ones my clients asked for a lot.

Holly is a known for an Amercian Christmas decoration. Whenever I’ve made Christmas cards, I would always draw holly leaves on the envelop. So I thought, why not on your nails? I didn’t exactly draw holly leaves on my nails, but they’re still cute.
Inspiration: holly trees. :]

One coat base coat. Two coats of a white nail polish. You can use an opaque white or a sheer white, and everything in between. Just make sure its a matte white. An opaque white can be hard to polish, so don’t worry about it getting all over your cuticles. Just make sure you paint it on streak-free [sometimes you need three coats] and clean your cuticles with a brush dipped in polish remover. Lol, I didn’t paint so well here. =P

Paint on silver polish diagonally.

With a light pastel green striping paint, draw a few lines from the silver corner out.

Do the same with gold striping paint. Overlap the green a little.

With a green, green striping paint, polish on the “holly leaves”

I added more gold strokes. I could have avoided this step if I made the gold lines from before longer.

Dot on three big red dots in the corner. A few smaller red and black dots randomly around the “leaves”. Finish off with a top coat.

‘Tis the season!!! These are definitely holiday nails. I was going to draw a whole tree, but I thought that would look too much than it already does. Plus, drawing half a tree is much easier.
Inspiration: pretty obvious. :]

One coat base coat. Two coats of a gold polish. This represents the top ornament [star] since I’m not drawing one.

Draw the tree with green or silver striping paint. Whenever I’m doing a specific shape, I draw it out with a silver or similar color before coloring it in.

With a green polish, I painted the tree in. Try to stay within the lines, but it doesn’t have to be perfect.

Outline the tree with black striping paint.

With silver striping paint, I dotted curvy lines on the tree to represent tinsel.

Dot on your ornaments! I think three colors is enough. You want to still see the tree underneath. Follow up with a topcoat.

Those of you who live in the snow [glad I don't have to drive in that anymore! muahaha] and for those who just like snow/or want to see snow and haven’t…here is an easy, cute, & kinda kiddish nail design for ya.
Inspiration: Winter night/Snow.

One thin coat of Base coat. Two coats of your favorite dark blue.

Paint on a lighter shimmery/light blue on a diagonal. Give it a little swirl.

Make some “wind” with silver striping paint/polish. You’re pretty much following the flow of the shimmery blue you just painted. In between the silver lines, I added some light blue lines too. Again, I like layers stuff. Just like my vexels [my digital artwork].

In case you didn’t understand me.

With white striping paint, draw on two asterik stars wherever you want. Just keep it on the shimmery blue part.

Add silver and white dots randomly.

Add yellow dots and some strokes of glitter on the “wind lines.”
