Needle point nails
![]() |
Step 1 Start with a base color. I chose black so that the colors would pop. White would also be a great fit for spring!
Step 2 Follow the pattern I illustrated above. Start with GOLD x’s.
Step 3 Next one WHITE x to help the center “pop” .
Step 4 LIGHT PINK for the inner petals.
Step 5 DARK PINK for the outer petals.
Step 6 DARK GREEN for the darker leaves.
Step 7 Next, you’ll carry the dark green petals over to the middle finger.
Step 8 Add some additional LIGHT/BRIGHT GREEN x’s for the lighter leaves.
Step 9 Same colors will be used on the pinky.
Step 10 Add a quick drying topcoat once your x’s have dried!

tips & tricks
- I used Vodka for this, but you can also use rubbing alcohol. Some people have even used mouthwash!
- Keep a cotton pad with remover at hand so you can quickly wipe away any mistakes. A couple I tried didn't work out very well, but the newspaper ink wipes away quite easily.
- Once you apply the newspaper to your nail, don't move it or your letters will get blurred. Just gently roll your finger over the nail.
- If the paper isn't wet enough, just add another drop of alcohol with your finger.
- Make sure your letters are all the right way up. I put some of mine on upside down!

tips & tricks
- If you want to spice up this tutorial a bit, try an ombre base! Just check out the Ombre Nails tutorial.
- Remember, all snowflakes are different so get creative and play around with different shapes.
- Since this is such detailed line work, the thinner the brush the better!
- If you make a mistake with the white detailing, just cover it up with a bit of red polish!
- Another way to spice it up is to go over the snowflake with silver glitter. Or just dab a bit here and there so it has a bit of sparkle. It's Christmas, you can always add sparkles!

Splatter Nails Tutorial
![]() |
tips & tricks
- Lay out newspaper to work over. Put out more than you think you need....the polish is going to splatter everywhere!
- Experiment with how high or low you hold the straw over your nail to get different effects.
- When you dip the straw, try to get polish all across the opening of the straw, not just a ring of polish. It will splatter better.
- If you're using a bendy straw, cut the bendy bit off.
- Make your blows short and sharp. One quick little puff will splatter it better.
- Be patient! This one takes some practise!
