Make it Marketplace: Christmas Jumper inspired Nail art DIY

Let your freshly painted fingertips be the ultimate party accessory with this festive how-to. It's time to take a break from the the perfectly polished mani and get some hand-y inspiration from your Christmas Jumper.



What you'll need:

Red nail polish 
White nail polish
Black nail polish
Clear nail polish
Fine paint brush x2



Step 1:

Apply 2 coats your chosen colour to y our entire nail and allow to dry for 5 minutes. This will form the base of your look so it is essential that your nails are fully dry before starting the next step. 


Step 2:

Using white nail polish create 2 circles (the circle which is closest to your cuticle should be larger than the circle on top) to create the body of your snowman. 


Step 3:

Dip your fine paint brush into the white polish and paint on a zigzag style pattern.



Step 4:

Take your fine paint brush that is dipped in white polish and paint on a few stars.



Step 5:

Make sure that the base patterns are fully dried (you may want to use a topcoat) and practice the details for the snowman before applying them to your nails.



Step 6:

Finally using your fine paint brush paint on the details of the snowman and finish with a clear top-coat.



Tah-dah! Good luck creating your own festive nails, and don't forget to tweet us a picture @ASOSMarketplace
