Merry Christmas! I hope you all had a wonderful Holiday with your friends and family! I wanted to get into the spirit of the holidays with my nails, so I decided to do some Candy Cane Nail Art!
To achieve this look, I used Julep Isla with China Glaze Ruby Pumps over it.
How to do Candy Cane Nail Art
This way is a little backwards from other tutorials I’ve seen. I decided to use striping tape to get my lines perfect, but in order to do that, I needed to put the white down first. It’s hard to get a good opaque-ness with white, so I figured it was better to put that down first.
I painted two coats on each nail of Julep Isla. I then cut 40 pieces of striping tape, and placed them on my nails in the pattern I wanted. After those were in place, I painted each nail with two coats of Ruby Pumps, and then pulled the tape off immediately, before proceeding to painting the next nail.
I finished with a coat of Seche Vite top coat.
What do you think of my Candy Cane Nail Art? Make sure you’re following me on Instagram for my latest manicure!

I really like this nail art. I like that it would be good for the Christmas holidays but it is really neat and more sophisticated looking than most Christmas nail art.

I use Seche Vite as a top coat also. The best. I’ll have to remember this simple holiday paint. I’m lucky if I even get time for a simple coat of red.
