This easy holiday nail art will look amazing all season long

'Tis the holiday season and it's always fun to get into the festive spirit with a themed manicure. Rita Remark, the global lead educator for Essie has dreamed up a gorgeous custom look for HELLO! Canada.
She created the easy Christmas manicure using Essie nail colours in Too Too Hot ($9.99) and Blanc ($9.99). Besides red and white nail polish, all you'll need is a base coat, top coat, a fine detail brush and a dotting tool – or a bobby pin!

"After a thin layer of base coat, apply two coats of Too Too Hot to each nail, avoiding the moon area of each nail," says Rita.
"Clean up the line with an angled eyeliner brush dipped in acetone, but the line does not have to be perfect."

Rita continues, "Outline the moon of the nail with Blanc. Achieve this by adding a few drops of Blanc to a square of tinfoil and dipping a fine detail brush in it."

She says, "Add a snowflake motif to each nail. With the same detail brush and Blanc, add lines moving down the nail from the moon."
Rita adds, "Each nail can be different."

"Wait 5 minutes, to prevent polish bleeding, and apply your favourite Essie glossy topcoat," says Rita.
"Fin!"
