Candy Cane Lane

Hello everyone! Hope all of you are enjoying the winter weather, if you live in a cold environment like myself. If you are anything like me then, no you are not enjoying the cold snowy weather. Anyways seeing how Christmas is quickly approaching, this week we will be making candy canes on our nails, and not just any candy cane with plain white polish and plain red, we will be using a silver and red polish with some holo in it, because what better way then to use holo polish, besides it looks more festive.

    

 Candy Cane Nail Design

Here are the polishes and tools used for this festive nail design, and yes this design only needs a few things!

 

Base and Top coat- CND Stickey Base Coat and Revlon Extra Life No Chip top coat.

Nail polishes-  OPI Holiday 2017- Ornament to Be Together and Cirque- Madder.

Nail art tools- just some nail art tape.

Other- scissors and tweezers to take off the tape (Items not show above)

That's all you need!

Let's get this fun and yummy candy cane nail design started!

  

Candy Cane Nail Design

Start off with a thin layer of base coat, my fav is CND Stickey base coat.

Let that dry, then polish all of your nails with a silver polish that has some holo in it. The polish I used is Ornament to Be Together from OPI, this polish is part of their new holiday collection for 2017. This silver polish has a subtle amount of holo in compared to most holos that I have. 

Once your base color of silver has dried, take your nail art tape and cut it into small pieces and place them on an angle on the nail, so that it will look like a candy cane.

At the tip of the nail, polish that area with a red holo polish, then the next area leave that silver. Repeat this for each part, to where every other part is red (as shown in the photo above.)

Grab your tweezers and right away, make sure your red polish does not dry and peel off the nail art tape that you placed on the nails. Doing this right away will help to keep your lines looking clean and straight.  

Repeat all of the steps above for all of your nails, or on my other hand I did things a little different.

If you only want a few nails with the candy cane design on it you can just do the design on two nail, the thumb and ring finger nail (like the photo above), or even just as a accent nail, the ring finger nail.

Once you have your candy cane nails the way you like, apply a top coat to seal in your design and to make your holo candy canes even more shinny. 

Hope you enjoyed this simple holiday nail design!

See you next time for more nail fun!
