Instructions:
1
Paint base coat
Paint a thin coat of your neutral nail color. The light blue we used gives a nod to our wintry theme.

Paint green polka dots
Quick Tip: The end of a bobby pin can be substituted for the dotting tool!
Use your dotting tool to paint two rows of green polka dots on nine of your nails. Make sure to leave room in the center!

Paint red polka dots
Quick Tip: We used Essie’s Russian Roulette, but OPI’s Die Another Day is another great option!
Use your dotting tool to paint a row of red polka dots in between the pre-existing green ones.

Paint Christmas tree

On the bare nail of your choosing , use the thin paint brush to paint on a Christmas tree.
