Christmas Stickers

What makes it special: The starry Christmas night created by the gradient and the glitter

How long it lasts: About five days with me. It could be longer but I did it for the New Year's Eve and on the very next day I was already eager to try something else so I could hardly wait to remove it.

What you need to cook this look:
  • 3 kitties
  • Base/Top coat
  • Light gray or white nail polish
  • Blue nail polish
  • Dark blue nail polish
  • Transparent Glitter in blue 
  • Christmas stickers
  • Sponge
  • Nail polish remover
 Optional:
  • Tape
  • Spray for quick drying (because I used cheap nail polishes and it takes them ages to dry)


Steps:
  1. Apply the base coat and wait for it to dry.
  2. (optional) Cover your fingers in tape.
  3. Take the sponge and put next to each other a few drops of the light gray and the blue nail polish
  4. Start tapping until you create a satisfying gradient (ombre). It may take a few layers. In my case the light gray was too light and needed more coats so I applied it directly on the nail, waited to dry a little and sponged again.
  5. Apply tiny drops of dark blue on the darker side of the nail. Tap with the sponge but be careful not to mix it with the light shades of the gradient. 
  6. Wait to dry. (Optional) Spray with the quick dryer. 
  7. Place the stickers on your nails. 
  8. Apply thin line of the transparent blue glitter on the dark side of the gradient.
  9. (the optional #2) Remove the tape. 
  10. Use the nail polish remover to clear the mess from the skin around your pretty gradient.
  11. Apply top coat. (Optional) Spray with the quick dryer.
