You'll need a pretty good variety of nail polish colors for this design. It's supposed to look festive!
Here is what I used:
- a clear base coat
- a blue polish (Sinful Colors "Why Not")
- a purple polish (Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear "Deep Purple")
- a white striper or polish
- nail polish for the candles
- yellow polish for the flames
- a clear top coat
Let's get started!
First, paint your nails with your base coat. This will help protect your nail and prevent staining from your polishes.
Next, paint all of your nails the background color - I chose blue.
Next, use colors you chose for your candles. You can put as many candles as you want on each nail. Just paint a straight line, from the middle of your nail to the tip, for each candlestick.
Here is a closer view:
Here's where the little details come in. Use your white striper (or other tool) to cover that diagonal meeting point. Also, paint little white stripes going down each candle at a diagonal.
Almost done. Now use a little bit of yellow polish to paint a flame at the top of each of your candles.
Cute, huh?! All that's left to do now is paint on a top coat to protect your design.
