For the next 3 days we have collaborated with the lovely Kerri Lown. Kerri will be taking us through her top 3 Christmas nail designs and showing you how to add a bit of Christmas bling to your nails with these easy step by step guides.
Today we will be having a look at how you can add pretty shimmery snowflakes to your nails. This is quite an easy design to-do and you don't have to be an amazing artist, but a steady hand does help!

| WE USED: Foil by Barry M, Tidal by Nails at Topshop and white holographic glitter from Primark |
1. First of all prep your nails. File them to your desired shape and if you have a cuticle pusher push your cuticles back. (PLEASE NOTE: Never completely remove your cuticles as they protect your nails from germs and bacteria.)
2. Once you have prepped your nails
apply 2 coats of a pastel blue nail varnish. We used 'Tidal' by Nails
at Topshop. This will be the main background colour for our design.
3. Paint on snowflakes using a fine tip paint brush. We used Foil Nail Paint by Barry M. Start by painting a cross then add little flicks.
4. Sprinkle some holographic white glitter on to the nails. Try to do this when the silver detail is still wet so that it sticks to the snowflakes.
5. Finally apply a clear top coat. This will make sure your nail design lasts longer.
TA DA! You have pretty shimmery snowflake nails! You can experiment with different colours too. This is quite a subtle look for Christmas and is work friendly too. Tomorrow I will be showing you how to give yourself some super cute Rudolph nails.
