  • I'm really excited about today's Christmas Nail Art tutorial because it's a special guide

  • that features easy to do designs without having to use professional nail art tools such as

  • dotting tools or stripers. That's right, all you're going to need is nail polishes and

  • a toothpick from your kitchen!

  • So let's begin with a cute little santa hat. Start off by painting your nail a light green.

  • Next use a red nail polish and pull the brush down with a slight curve twice to create the

  • hat. Then use a white nail polish to dot the top of the hat for a pompom and then gently

  • pull the brush down a few times at the very tip of the nail. Pretty easy! Finish off your

  • cute santa hat with a top coat.

  • Next up is christmas tree. Begin by painting your nail with a gold polish. Then use a green

  • polish and stroke downwards to create a stripe for your guideline. Then gently brush outwards

  • on each side of the stripe to create the branches. Increase the length of the swipes as you move

  • downwards. Don't worry about making them perfectly symmetrical, real trees are always unique.

  • Then for the top of the tree, you can add some top coat and a rhinestone for a little

  • bling, or you could always just use a red polish and dot the top using the brush. Finally

  • we are going to decorate the tree using a toothpick and red polish. Add very tiny dots

  • going diagonally across the tree. Finish your tree with a top coat and you're done!

  • And now for an easy wrapped gift. Begin by painting your nail white. Next use a gold

  • polish to paint the bottom half of your nail. Take your time while you do this and try to

  • start each stroke at the same place. Then use a red polish and stroke downwards twice

  • to add the wrapping paper. Remember to leave a strip of gold above it for the ribbon. Then

  • do the same on the other side, leaving a strip of gold down the middle for ribbon as well.

  • Finish the gift by adding two gold hoops for a bow to the very top using a toothpick. Add

  • a fast drying top coat and your gift is ready to be delivered.

  • Up next is a bulb ornament for a tree. Begin by painting your nail with a light blue or

  • periwinkle polish. Next use a blue polish to add a circle to the bottom half of your

  • nail. I like to use a polish with a pearl or shimmer finish for this as it really adds

  • to the ornament. Once you have a rough circle made, you can go back in and clean up the

  • line. Next I'm going to add a little square of silver at the very top using a toothpick,

  • and then use a black polish to add a thin little hoop to hang the ornament. Finish with

  • a glossy top coat and you're done!

  • Last but not least is a christmas stocking. Begin by painting your nail gold. Next stroke

  • a red polish downwards twice to create a thick rectangle. Then pull a stroke up diagonally

  • to meet the rectangle and you've got yourself a nice little stocking. Then add some finishing

  • touches by dabbing a white nail polish on the very top of the stocking, and then use

  • a toothpick to add a white patch to the heel. And of course, you're going to want to seal

  • it all in with a fast drying top coat.

  • And that's it! You're all done! If you'd decide to give any of these five designs a try, then

  • please share your recreations with me on twitter or instagram using the hashtag #cutepolish

  • so I can find them!

  • Take care and I'll see ya next time :)
