On the eleventh day of Christmas...Christmas Trees

 
Hello, readers! Right, penultimate festive design...and it sure was fun to create. It's not quite as self-explanatory as the previous design, so here's how to do it; firstly, paint your nails White (this is just to make the trees stand out a little bit more). Next, using a very fine Nail Brush, paint a green outline of a tree - it should look a little bit like an arrow. Once these are done, use the brush again to fill in the trees with a series of thin brush strokes. Now, in order to do the next step, the trees must be completely dry. This takes a little while, so I suggest you go find something to do while you wait (I chose to carry on reading some more of Kazuo Ishiguro's Never Let Me Go, if you need some inspiration). So, once they're dry, use a Nail Art pen to draw a couple of red dots on the trees for baubles. Then, use a very fine Nail Brush to paint a tiny brown square for the tree stumps. Lastly, using a very fine Nail Brush again, paint a gold star on the tops of the trees. Finished! Check back soon for my final festive post...
