Festive French manicure tutorial: how to achieve Christmas holly nails

Seasonal & Occasions, Step by Step
This festive French design was created by Halo VIP, Hari Hatfield, using products from the brand. Learn how to recreate it below…
Step 1

On each finger, paint a French tip over your chosen base colour. Use a liner brush and Halo Gel Polish in French White to do so. Cure.
Step 2

Paint holly leaves as shown, using a small detailing brush and Halo Gel Polish in Harmony, then cure. I created the leaves by painting two triangles on top of each other and adding a point on the top. For the garland nail, I painted lots of 'V' shapes across the smile line.
Step 3

Using a dotting tool, apply dots of Halo Gel Polish in Red to create berries, as shown. Cure.
Step 4

Using a thin detailing brush, apply streaks of French White to a couple of the berries to add a glisten to them. This makes the berries pop and appear less flat. Using a dotting tool, add French White dots to the garland nail, to break up the berries. Cure, apply Halo Non Wipe Top Coat and cure to finish.
