- Basecoat,
- Sheer white polish - TGB's Diana,
- Glittery golden polish - TGB's Snow Queen,
- Black polish - TGB's Jet Black,
- Red shimmery polish - TGB's Ruby Port,
- Nude polish - TGB's Nude,
- Dotting tool,
- Detailer or liner brush, and
- Topcoat
For the first step, you'll want to cover the entire nail with basecoat, cure it and then start by drawing the curved outline for the head, with Nude at the bottom of the nail. Once you are happy with the curve you can cure it and then fill it in.
Step Two:
Once you have the base of the head, on the rest of the nail you'll want to go in with Diana and do two coats of this and cure.
Step Three:
Going back to the head, you'll next want to place two little eyes with your dotting tool in Jet Black three quarters of the way up.
Step Four:
Just down from the eyes, you'll want to create a larger circle for Rudolph's red nose with a bigger dotting tool and Ruby Port. After you've done that you can add the final touch to the eyes by doing the tiniest dots of Snow Queen in the centre of the eyes.
The next addition to the reindeer are the antlers. You'll want to draw two lines, in line with the eyes, pointing outwards with Nude. Then off the main lines place two or three additional smaller lines going outwards again. This is a little hard to explain until you see the pictures!
To top everything off you'll want to go over the top of the antlers with Snow Queen as well as adding a touch of Snow Queen to the nose for the extra sparkle. Cure all of that and then go in with a top coat and cure for the final time.
That is how you can create your own Rudolph the reindeer following those simple steps. Of course, if you wanted you could outline the reindeer to make him stand out more but I quite like how it is. Stay tuned for the third and final step by step Christmas nail art demo coming soon. Which has been your favourite so far? Will you be attempting this design? Thanks for reading,
