Holiday Reindeer Nails!

Hello there beautiful people! Today I will show you a very cute tutorial on some adorable reindeer nails! As you know Christmas is coming up and what better way to start getting into the Christmas spirit than with some holiday nail art. Let's get started!

First of all, apply your base coat. Always apply your base coat before you apply color nail polish, it is very important so it can protect your nail from harsh nail polish stains. As I've mentioned before I use Seche Vite base coat. Once you've applied your base coat go ahead and apply a white coat of nail polish. You will apply it on all of your nails. This is going to be the entire background of the nail. Any white nail polish will do. If not, you can substitute the white with any color of your choice. I'm using Pure Ice in White.

In the next step you're going to do a half moon on the tip of your nail. You will repeat the half moon on the rest of your nails. You will need a brown nail polish color. This will be the head of the reindeer. The color I'm using is by Sinful Color in the color Nirvana.

While the brown half moon is drying, you will then take a yellow nail polish and start to draw two yellow stick on top of the half moon. These will be the little antlers. The yellow nail polish I used is by Nail Art. I apply two coats because the color is very light if you apply only one coat. Your nails should start to look like the ones on the left picture. 

The next part of the process is very simple. You will then take the white nail polish again and draw two little dots next to each other. These will be the eyes. While they dry up, you will take a red nail polish and apply one big red dot on the edge of the nail. This will be the nose. 

Finally, you will then take a black nail polish and apply two tiny little dots in the center of the white dots. Viola, the eyes are complete! As soon as you're done, you will apply the top coat to make them last longer and give them an amazing shine. I use Seche Vite Top Coat. Your nails should look like the ones in the picture below.

I hope you enjoyed this holiday inspired nail tutorial. Stick around for more!
