Finger nail Fridays: Candy Cane

With the holidays coming up I wanted to do festive nails to celebrate! Around the internet there has been a lot of candy cane and peppermint recipes and inspiration so i decided to try out some candy cane nails!
Sephora: Mr. Right Now
They are very fun and festive and i love the finished product! I added some glitter for extra sparkle as well! However next time I will be more careful with the tape method.. they are a little crooked and some polish came off. 

Candy Cane Nails
Need:
White Nail Polish
Red Nail Polish
Top Coat
Tape
Scissors
Glitter

1. File nails down to similar lengths
2. Apply a coat or two of white nail polish (I wouldn't recommend more than 2 b/c it gets too thick)
3. WAIT for white to be absolutely, completely and positively dry before moving on!
4. Cut down small pieces of tape and place diagonally on nail where you would like white to stay
4. Paint one or two coats of red over entire nail
5. Once again, WAIT until red is completely dry before removing tape, then remove tape
6. Sprinkle nails with glitter or paint glitter over white areas of nails
7. Apply topcoat, let dry & ENJOY :)



Have a great weekend
