5-Step Christmas Tree Nail Art Tutorial

Step 1: Prepare your nails

• Applying a base color of Fleurwee Plant-based Gel Nail Polish in Rose Red. Cure under a UV/LED lamp for 60 seconds. Important: Apply a second layer of Rose Red WITHOUT curing. This helps to create a smooth and blendable base for the next steps.
• Carefully draw on the uncured base a vertical line from the bottom to the top in the center of the nail with a dotting pen, using color Fleurwee Plant-based Gel Nail Polish in Camellia White.

Step 2: Create the Tree Shape

• Using a nail art liner brush or a dotting pen, draw the outline of your Christmas tree. Start with a triangle shape for the tree base, tapering towards the top in a circular path.

Step 3: Draw the tree trunk

• Next, draw a vertical line from the very bottom to the top of the tree shape to create a trunk using Fleurwee Plant-based Gel Nail Polish Camellia White. Cure again under the UV/LED lamp for 60 seconds.

Step 4: Add Ornaments

• With a dotting tool, add small dots of Fleurwee Plant-based Gel Nail Polish in Red, Green, and White to decorate your tree. You can create ornaments by simply placing a few dots along the tree. Cure them under the UV/LED lamp for another 60 seconds.

Step 5: Don’t forget the shining star!

• Put on a star sticker. Cover with a layer of top coat and cure under UV/LED lamp for 60 seconds. And you are ready with the holiday design!
