I love celebrating the holiday season on my nails. This look is not your typical snowflake or red and green design, but something different; and that's just what I wanted to start off with. Although pink is not really a color I associate with the holidays, all of the glitter and frostiness reminded me of the winter season.

I started off this look with a light, pearlescent pink. The one I used was OPI's "Play the Peonies" from the collection Nice Stems, but any similar color will do. 

Next, I added a a coat or two of a clear, multi-chromatic, fine glitter to add a subtle glitter base for the larger glitter. This is Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Polish in "Disco Ball."

Before your second coat of Disco Ball has dried (as in right after you apply it), place on individual pieces of a larger multi-chromatic glitter. This can be purchased at any craft store, but the key is to find something relatively large (to show contrast to the fine glitter) and multi-chromatic. This will give an interesting effect to your nails and will change their appearance in different lights. 

I used a toothpick to pick up the pieces of glitter, then placed them on my nails before the glitter top coat dried in the design of polka dots. This seems like a tedious process, but it actually only took about 30 seconds per nail; you want to be quick anyways because you do not want the polish underneath to dry. Remember to seal your design in with a top coat or else the glitter will come off.

Hope you enjoyed this cute and fun design. Happy Holidays, snow bunny ❄
