Pinspiration: Winter nail art you can totally master

 
A new season (and a festive one, at that!) means a new slew of holiday-themed nail art. We’ve cracked the codes on some standout Pinterest pins and are sharing the step-by-step guides on how to achieve the ultimate winter mani.

Step 2: Using a white thin tipped nail art pen, draw on a unique design for each finger. For some patterns that are a bit too tricky, try to simplify them into more basic stripes and dots. Then, apply topcoat.

Step 3: Using white, black and orange nail art pens (the Sally Hansen one from the previous mani is perfect) draw a snowman on one finger of each hand. When creating the snowman, press down the white pen with different forces to form simple circles in different sizes. Finish with a topcoat.
