As the holiday season rolls in, it’s time to bring some festive flair to your look! What better way to celebrate than with fun Shiny Santa’s Belt Nails? These adorable designs are perfect for any holiday gathering, whether you’re rocking an ugly Christmas sweater or a chic Mrs. Claus outfit. Let’s spread some Christmas cheer with this easy and creative nail art!
What You’ll Need:
- Base coat
- Top coat
- Red polish (we used Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Rapid Red)
- Black Stripe Rite polish (or regular black polish and a steady hand)
- Gold polish
- Dotting tool
- Old magazine, newspaper, or cardstock
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Step 1: Prep Your Nails
- Start by applying a base coat to protect your nails and ensure a smooth application for your polish.
Step 2: Apply the Red Polish
- Paint two coats of your Rapid Red polish on your nails. Make sure the first coat dries completely before applying the second for the best color payoff.
Step 3: Create the Belt
- Using your Black Stripe Rite polish, carefully draw a black horizontal line across your nail, about a centimeter from the tip. If you don’t have Stripe Rite, you can use a regular black polish and a steady hand to create the line.
Step 4: Add the Buckle
- Draw a square off-centered on each nail to represent Santa’s belt buckle. If your square ends up too small, don’t worry! You can easily touch up with black polish afterward.
Step 5: Finish with a Top Coat
- After your nails are nearly dry, apply a top coat to seal in your design and add a glossy finish.
