- Basecoat: Seche Vite Base Coat
- Base color: Etude House Play Nail BL064

3. Christmas Parol
This one’s pretty easy until you get to the details so you need steady hands for this. Here’s what you have to do:
- Start by drawing at the edge of the nails so it will be much easier to repair in case it leaves a smudge.
- The nail polishes you should use are OPI Natural Nail base coat, Sally Hansen Insta-dri in Champagne Supernova, and Seche Vite topcoat.
- The details are done using Apple Barrel brand acrylic paint.
4. Winter Snow
Winter snow designs are easy to do but for this one, let’s take it up a notch. All you need are some matte topcoat, a dotter tool for the snow design, and some loose glitter. But you can always experiment.
Here’s an example of the winter snow design painted in red. For this one, you can use China Glaze Red-Y and Willing and ORLY Halo nail polish.
As an alternative, you can try Sally Hansen’s Red Carpet and the Polarized from China Glaze nail polish plus add some Dollarama stickers to boot.
