Christmas Gradient Nail Art

Hi everyone!

Did you see my last post about the Cuticula Scented Liquid Nail Tape? Curious to see the end result of my nail art? The wait is over, here it is! 🙂

Here are all the products I used:

• with shyan Dr.001 (strengthen and protect nails) as base coat
• essence “snow alert!” as base colour
• essence “we love winter holidays” (green)
• essence “let’s climb mount beauty” (red)
• essence “snow alert!” snow top coat
• butter LONDON “Hardwear P.D. Quick Topcoat”
• Makeup sponges
• Cuticula Scented Liquid Nail Tape (not shown)

After my base coat I added three coats of snow alert! as my base colour followed by a layer of topcoat. I did my base colour a day before to save on time so the nail art is not all done in one sitting.

The second day I sponged on snow alert! and we love winter holidays on every other nail, and snow alert! and let’s climb mount beauty on the other nails. I then topped it all off with snow alert! snow top coat. To give it a smooth finish I then added two layers of topcoat, and voilà!

I swiped the brush of snow alert! snow top coat many many times on each nail to have the white glitters where I wanted them and the process streaked the red and green a bit, but since the nail art is a gradient it didn’t really affect the end result. It’s just something to consider when adding a glitter topper over nail art.

I love how it turned out! What do you think?
