Christmas fairy lights nail art by yasminsnails

You Need: Pearl colour, Black, Red, Blue, Green, Silver, Fine glitter top coat, Normal top coat. Fine brush, Dotting tool.

1) Base coat with pearl colour.
2) Using a fine brush paint a black line across all your nails for the wire.
3) At regular intervals paint a small black rectangle on the line.
4) For the plug paint a semi circle on your little finger then extend the straight edge, paint 2 small lines in the centre of the plug. 
5) Using a dotting tool to dot by the rectangle then drag it out to create a tear drop shape, alternate the colours and do this for each light.
6) Highlight each light with silver.
7) Glitter top coat below the wire on your first 4 nails (my idea was that this would show the light being given by the fairy lights but it didn't really work, and you can't really see it in the picture... brighter glitter would probably look better)
8) Normal top coat all nails.
