Supplies

Directions

Paint nails with a base coat and let dry.
Paint nails with one coat of white nail polish.
Let the nails dry completley.
Pick three colors that are just a few shades apart. Three shades of blue will be used on these nails and pink will be used on the accent nail.
Take a makeup sponge and paint the three colors on it. Start by painting a stripe of dark blue, then paint a stripe of blue, and then paint a stripe of light blue. *It's important to paint the colors in this order so they blend together.*
Sponge the colors on the tip of your nail. Press the darker color on the tip and slowly sponge the lighter colors down and toward the middle of the nail.
Paint a high gloss top coat over the nail. This will blend the colors even more.
Let the nails dry.
Take the dark blue nail polish brush and get most of the color off.
Now slowly brush the dark blue only on the very tips of the nail. Start from the tip and brush down.
Paint tips with sparkly silver nail polish. Start by painting the tips and brushing it down toward the middle of the nail and then stop. *On the pink accent nail, use gold glitter polish.*
Once dry, decorate nails with the Cina christmas nail decals. Some of the decals need to be applied to the nail with nail glue.
Finish with the high gloss top coat.
If there's polish on your skin, clean it off with a Q-tip dipped in remover.
