1. Apply red polish

The base of these beautiful Christmas nails is red.

Paint two coats of red polish on your nails, letting each coat dry thoroughly. Make sure the base is absolutely dry to avoid any smearing when applying the decorations. The hardest part is waiting for them to dry!

2. Add a white stripe

While you can do this just for one nail, doing all your nails with red and white is so perfect for Christmas. Remove the applicator brush from the white polish. Dip the striping brush into the applicator brush to pick up some of the white polish.

Paint a white line to one side of the nail off-center from the cuticle to about three-quarters down on the nail.
