- Add embellishments like rhinestones, glitter, or nail stickers for extra sparkle.
- Don’t be afraid to experiment and create your own unique Christmas nail art.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Overly thick polish: Applying too much polish can lead to chipping.
- Skipping the base coat: A base coat provides a smooth surface for your polish to adhere to.
