Once the base coat has dried, apply two coats of skin-colored nail polish to your nails. This will create a blank canvas for your Christmas Shepherd design.
Using one of your earthy colors, paint the Shepherd’s headdress in a curve at the top of your nail. Then, take another earthy colour and paint the band around the headdress.
Use a brown colored polish to paint your shepherd’s hair and beard!
Next, use a white polish and a dotting tool to create the whites of the Shepherd’s eyes.
Using a tiny dotting tool and
black polish, dot on the Shepherd’s pupils.
To complete the design, use a dotting tool and skin-colored polish to dot on the Shepherd’s nose.
Finish by applying a top coat of clear nail polish to your nails. This will help protect your design and make it last longer.
And there you have it! A festive and fun Christmas Shepherd design on your nails. There are so many ways to customize and make this design your own. With a little creativity and the right tools, you can create a beautiful and unique Christmas Shepherd design on your nails.
