Christmas is almost here! Spread the cheer with a mani that will show off your holiday spirit and nail art skills. With an easy to do gradient topped with a statement garnish, you’re bound to jingle all the way.
What you will need:
- Essie Grow Stronger
- Essie Blanc
- Sinful Colors San Francisco
- Wet n Wild 18K Gold
- Butter London Chancer
- Orly Sec ‘N Dry
- Disposable makeup applicator or sponge
- Dotting tool

Step 1
1. Prep the nails with a base coat. Apply two coats of white polish.

Step 2
2. Use an eyeshadow applicator to sponge green polish in a horizontal stroke on the tip of the nail to create the gradient effect.

Step 3
3. Apply gold glitter polish over the green polish. To get more sequins on the nail, dab the polish versus applying it in strokes.

Step 4
4. Use a dotting tool and red polish to apply a dot on the top of the nail. Wait for the entire design to completely dry and finish off with a top coat.
