These Festive Green & Red Christmas Sweater Nails Are So Easy to Do

Tools and materials:

• Green, red, and white nail polish
• Nail vinyls with a Christmas pattern
• Base coat
• Top coat

1. Paint nails with red and green polish

Paint your nails, starting with the base coat to protect your nail bed. Then apply nail polish. I use red and green for the Christmas vibe. 

At first, I only contrasted one nail with half green and half red, but then I decided to paint my index finger green to amp up those Christmas-y feelings!

2. Apply the Christmas nail vinyls

If you’re unsure how to apply nail vinyl, here’s my other tutorial on how to use nail vinyls.

Lay the nail vinyl on perfectly dry nails. Here, I used 2 to 3 vinyls per nail, but you can customize it!

3. Apply white nail polish

Carefully apply white polish to the area of the nail vinyl and peel off the vinyl immediately, so the vinyl doesn't get stuck on when the polish dries.

I like to apply more white polish to the ends of the nails and just on the design in the center. 

It looks like you spent hours doing your nails with these intricate holiday-inspired designs, but it takes seconds!

4. Seal with a top coat

Add a top coat to seal in the design. Don’t skip this step as a topcoat is a must to keep your nails looking perfect. Topcoat helps to make the nails shiny and glossy, perfect for sparkly events during the holiday season!
