Christmas Elf Nail Art Tutorial

Sorry it's been a while since I last posted, I had a busy last week at Uni but I'm back home for Christmas now, so hopefully I will be posting more often. I am back with another nail art and today its time to bring out the Christmas Elf's! If you want to find out how I created this look keep reading...

All you will need for this look is nail varnish in the shades red, green, nude, white and black. It would also be handy to have a dotting tool and a top coat.

Step-By-Step Tutorial:

Step 1: Begin by painting a glitter base on your nails. This will mostly be covered, however I thought it would be nice to add some christmas glitter to any areas which can be seen.

Step 2: Once the base is dry, take the nude shade and apply this to just the tip of each nail.

Step 3: Next taking the red and green polishes onto a dotting tool, crease the outline of the hat towards the top of the nail. I alternated the colours on each nail just to mix it up slightly.

Step 4: Taking the black polish onto a dotting tool, carefully outline the hat to create some definition.

Step 5: Taking the white and black polish, again on a dotting tool, add some googley eyes.

Step 6: Once everything is dry, finish off the look by adding a top coat. 

And there you have your cartoon elf nail art!

What do you think of this nail art look? What have you guys been doing to get yourselves in the Christmas Spirit?

Happy Nail-Arting!
