Celebrity nail artist Mei Kawajiri has shared a festive nail design that you can easily recreate at home with just five simple steps. In a recent tutorial, Kawajiri demonstrated how to achieve a stunning holiday-themed nail look using products that are likely already in your beauty arsenal.
The design features a classic red and gold color scheme, perfect for adding a touch of glamour to your holiday ensemble. To begin, Kawajiri suggests starting with a clean canvas by removing any old polish and shaping your nails to your desired length and shape.
Next, apply a base coat to protect your nails and ensure a smooth application of color. Kawajiri recommends using a bright red polish as the base color for this design, applying two coats for full coverage.
Once the red polish has dried, it’s time to add some festive flair with gold accents. Using a fine-tipped nail art brush or a toothpick, create small dots or swirls of gold polish on each nail to mimic the look of holiday ornaments.
To add an extra touch of sparkle, Kawajiri suggests applying a layer of glitter polish or loose glitter to the tips of your nails. This will give your design a shimmering finish that’s perfect for any holiday celebration.
Finish off the look with a top coat to seal in your design and add shine and longevity to your manicure. With just a few simple steps and some creativity, you can recreate this festive nail design at home and elevate your holiday style.
