Simple Step by Step Christmas Nails

Here's a simple step by step guide for doing some Christmas Nails in six easy stages. So then, you've got no excuses, there's lots of time to practice before Christmas arrives.

You can find more airbrushing tutorials by following this link Nail Art step by steps

Step 1 - After applying an airbrush base coat, lightly mist a layer of white over the nail.

Step 2 - Spray red diagonally across top half of nail.

Step 3 - Spray gold diagonally across lower part of nail, spritzing lightly over the red to blend the colours together

Step 4 - Place holly mask in top left corner of nail. Spray white, then before removing mask, spray green. Repeat in bottom right corner of nail.

Step 5 - For the berries, use a little top coat to secure 3 red rhinestones to the holly leaves. Add some gold bullion beads.

Step 6 - Apply an airbrush compatible top coat, allow to dry, then wash around cuticles with soap and water.

Fab Freak, Nikki and Jo, keep up the good work. One step at a time, ok? *S* You need assistance? .... I'm here right beside you.

Sammie, you go girl!! Send me some pics

nails@42ndstreet, I've no doubt that you'll do well. If however, you want a little help..... you know where I am *S*

Debsy, what can I say? We both (Sean and I) loved having you guys over, look forward to doing it again real soon. Regarding the cheap flights, I've added some new info to the training page concerning the cost of return flights from most UK cities to Dublin. Click here for more details
