Step-by-Step Process:

  1. Prepare Your Nails

    • Clean, trim, and file your nails to the desired shape.
    • Push back your cuticles for a neat canvas.
  2. Apply a Base Coat

    • Apply a thin layer of base coat to protect your nails and prevent staining.
    • Let it dry completely or cure under a UV lamp if using gel.
  3. Paint the Base Colors

    • Paint some nails with white polish and others with gold glitter polish.
    • For a glitter gradient, use a sponge to dab the glitter onto the tips of white nails.
  4. Add Snowflake or Festive Designs

    • Use nail art stickers, stamping plates, or freehand designs with a detailing brush.
    • Highlight the designs with gold accents to make them pop.
  5. Create Fine Gold Lines

    • Apply gold striping tape or paint fine lines using a detailing brush for a sophisticated touch.
  6. Seal with a Top Coat

    • Apply a generous layer of top coat to protect the design and give a glossy finish.
    • If using gems, secure them with a gel top coat and cure under a UV lamp.
  7. Finishing Touch

    • Apply cuticle oil to nourish the surrounding skin and enhance the overall look.

Additional Tips:


  • Steady Hands: Use a nail stand or rest your hand on a flat surface for precision.
  • Practice Designs First: If you're new to nail art, practice intricate designs on a nail art wheel.
  • Layer the Glitter: For an extra sparkle, apply two layers of glitter polish.
  • Match Your Outfit: Choose a color scheme that complements your festive look!
  • Be Patient: Allow each layer to dry completely to avoid smudging.
