Beauty Bite: Santa Hat Nail Art

Step 1: Paint your nails a clear coat to protect your nail. Then either using a dotting tool (or using 2 pieces of cellotape crossed over each other to form a triangle which you then paint over) paint a red triangle

Step 2: Using a dotting tool, add white dots to the bottom of the triangle

Step 3: Add dots to the tip of the triangle in a circle to make a bobble. Add a top coat!

Beauty Bite: Christmas Pudding Nail Art

Step 1: Add a clear coat to protect your nail and then paint your whole nail a dark brown colour
Step 2: With a dotting tool, dab some white nail polish onto the base of your nail (by your cuticle) to make it look like it's dripping
Step 3: For a simple holly, draw a cross with a dotting tool or toothpick dipped into green nali polish
Step 4: Add 2 red dots for berries and add a top coat to seal in the design

Beauty Bite: Daisy Nails!

 

Step 1: Apply a basecoat or clear coat
Step 2: Paint your nails a layer of polish of your choice (I chose pink) or you could leave them clear
Step 3: Create some yellow dots on your nails for the centre of the daisy (Leave enough room for the petals)
Step 4: Create white dots around the yellow dot to create petals, do as many of these as you like
Step 5: Once you've finished the flowers, add a top coat! (You may wish to add leaves beforehand)

Beauty Bite: Pig Nail Art

Here's another nail art tutorial for you and this time it's farm animal related...It's pig nail art!

Want to have cute piggies on your nails? Look no further!

Step 1: Apply a basecoat or clear coat to protect your nails and prevent the nail polish from staining your nail
Step 2: Using the brush of your lightest pink shade, sweep it across 2/3 of your nail having a slightly round shape. This will be the head
Step 3: Then using a darker pink, do the same as step 2 but slightly smaller so it only covers the first 1/3 of your nail (The tip) After that, using a dotting tool (Or something to create this shape) take the same darker pink nail polish and create triangles for the ears.
Step 4: Using an even darker pink/purple, use the dotting tool to create to dots at the end of your nail for nostrils.
Step 5: Create black dots for the eyes and add a top coat!

Here are the nail polishes I used to create this nail art design:

Beauty Bite: Cloud Nail Art

I decided to try something a little different today, here's a quick and easy nail art tutorial in picture form for you! I decided to show you how to get a cloud design on your nails.

Step 1: Apply a basecoat (This protects your nails/stops the nail polish from staining them)

Step 2: Paint your nails a layer of blue nail polish

Step 3: Using a dotting tool*, create cloud-like shapes by layering dots of white nail polish

Step 4: Add a top coat!

 

*If you don't own a dotting tool, you could use a toothpick, the end of a makeup brush, a cotton bud, the end of a pencil or the end of a pin that has the ball at the end.

Here are the nail polishes I used to create this nail art design:
