Materials needed:
- Base coat nail polish
- Red nail polish
- White nail polish
- Black nail polish
- Brown nail polish
- Burgundy nail polish
- Beige nail polish
- Thin nail art brush
- Dotting tool
- Top coat nail polish
Instructions:
Start by applying a base coat of nail polish to your
nails. This will help protect your
nails and make the nail polish
last longer. Once the base coat has dried, apply two coats of beige nail polish to your
nails.
Use a small paintbrush and a dark brown polish to create the appearance of the fireplace mantle at the root of your nail.
Using a tiny paintbrush and a bright red polish, paint the shape of the stocking just beneath the mantle.
Using the same thin nail art brush, paint a small black rectangle at the top of the white line to create the appearance of the fireplace.
Using a dotting tool, add small dots of white nail polish to create the fluffy cuff of the stocking.
Next, take two or three different shades of brown and burgundy polish and, using a tiny paintbrush, paint little lines onto your nail in an alternating pattern to create the brick effect on the fireplace.
Continue painting the brick-work until you have covered your whole nail.
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 stocking on a fireplace design on your nails. Enjoy!
