Step by step guide on how to paint a Reindeer on Nails
Gather your supplies
Before getting started, it’s important to gather all the supplies you need: nail polish in desired colors – white, red, black, light and dark brown, a small dotting brush, clear top coat polish or gel polish sealer, and some optional decorations such as glitter or rhinestones.
Having everything on hand is essential when creating nail art; not only will it save time but also minimize frustration if something goes wrong.
