Christmas Nail Tutorial - Red and Gold - Viewer Requested

A couple of weeks ago I had a lovely subscriber request that I create a nail tutorial featuring the design below:

I found the design created by GlitterNailBitches on Pinterest and decided that rather than using the nail polishes exactly as they she did, I would find low cost alternatives by using the JulieG nail polish line. 

Here are the polishes:

From Left to Right: JulieG - Jet Set Quick Dry Top Coat, White Orchid, Cleopatra's Cobra, Ornamental, Big Red Bow

The first step I took is to prep my nails with a good base coat. I chose my usual Beauty Secrets Ridge Filler Base Coat.

Next I painted each nail with its base color.

First paint your ring finger with White Orchid.

Next paint your middle finger with Ornamental.

Paint your remaining fingers with Big Red Bow.

Give that coat a bit of time to dry and then apply a second coat.

Next apply Cleopatra's Cobra over top of Ornamental on your middle finger.

In a small dish or on top of a piece of paper you will need to place small puddles of Ornamental and Big Red Bow.

Using a toothpick that was broken in half I used the large end to create large polka dots over top of the white base coat with the Big Red Bow polish. You will need to do the same with the gold Ornamental polish as well.

Next flip your toothpick over and use the small pointed end to create additional dots in various sizes.

Leave the polka dots to dry for a couple of minutes and then apply your fast drying top coat to lock in the design and keep the manicure looking shiny and new.

*If you do not leave the dots to dry for a few minutes the design will smear when you apply the top coat. If the dots you create are extra thick you will want to be sure to touch them lightly and check that they are dry before applying the top coat.

Here is the finished look:

I hope that you give this festive and easy nail art a try. I thank GlitterNailBitches for such a wonderful design and was so easy to reproduce.

This look took about 20 minutes from beginning to end. If you try out this design please email me a picture at makeupmaiworld@gmail.com or tag me on instagram @makeupmaiworld
