Nail Art Tutorial: Acrylic Christmas Trees

With all the gel, gel polish, and hybrid gel-lacquers now out there, it’s sometimes easy to forget about the power of colored acrylic for nail art! Follow this tutorial from Stephanie Rochester, a Californian nail artist as she shares how to design the perfect pink trees.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Products needed:

• Premium Extreme White Acrylic
• Glam and Glits Orchid pigment mixed with a little white acrylic to get the baby pink
• Acrylic paints in brown and baby pink for the ornaments
• Gold glitter from Martha Stewart collection glitters mixed with clear acrylic
• Cacee UV Gel Top Coat

1. First, lay acrylic down in a tree shape. Let it dry and file the edges into a clean point.

 

2. Fill in acrylic around the tree.

3. File through the acrylic to get clean edges and a clean tree shape. (Note: No, you do not need to add clear before doing this step.)

4. Start designing your garland strand with acrylic paint (any color you’d like).

5. Using a dotting tool, dot your ornaments around the tree.

6. Using a star-shaped acrylic mold, shape a gold glitter star then glue it down.

7. Add your clear coat! Done!
