276: tutorial - gift box nails

CHRISTMAS SPIRIT CONTINUED!
This week, I'm working on finishing all of my Christmas gift giving-- so I wanted to keep my nails festive to go with it & did this look:


pretty little packages!

Here's how we do it:


Start with a base coat, a light base colour, red, white striper and a top coat


I started with a base colour of turquoise


The taking the deep red, I drew on some squares at the corners of my nails


Continue drawing boxes on all of your nails


I randomized the directions of the boxes so they weren't too uniform


Take your striper brush and draw crosses on your boxes


Then draw a bow on top by drawing a super wide & short "X" shape


Then topcoat with a quick dry & you're done!


Festive right?!

Are you done your holiday shopping yet?! eek!
