PART 2: Christmas DIY Nails with Kerri Lown

WE USED: Small red pom-pom, Professional Nail Art Pen in black, Matt Nail Paint by Barry M in Caramel,
Nails Inc Nail Jewellery in Emerald and Nail Paint by Barry M in Racing Green

1. Prep your nails, then apply one coat of a rich green nail varnish to your thumb, index, ring and little finger. I used Racing Green by Barry M.

2. Next apply 2 coats of a light brown nail varnish on your middle finger. I used Matt Nail Paint in Caramel by Barry M. This will be the main base colour for your Rudolph.

3. Now it's time to add a bit of sparkle to your nails! I have this beautiful glitter nail varnish from Nails Inc in Emerald Green and it's just perfect for Party Season. Apply to your thumb, index, ring and little finger.

4. The final step is to add some detail to your Rudolph. You can use a very small red pom-pom for Rudolph's nose or if you don't have one of those available, use some red glitter nail varnish. To add a pom-pom, simply dab a little bit of your base colour nail varnish on to the tip of your nail and place the pom-pom on top, wait 30 seconds for it to set. Lastly, with a black nail pen add Rudolph's eyes. TA DA! You have Rudolph-tastic nails!
