Since most people put up their holiday lights this weekend, I thought I’d create a matching manicure for the occasion. :)

Start by using a make-up sponge to sponge on a white color on your nail. Begin at the tip of your nail and sponge up toward the cuticle. It’s your choice whether or not you go all the way up to the cuticle. I think it looks nice any way you go about it. The idea here is that the sponged on white looks a bit like snow gathered on a window or something.

Don’t worry if you make a mess all over your skin as you sponge on nail polish. Simply soak a q-tip in nail polish remover, and then clean up around your nail.

I didn’t do this next part, but I think it would look great if you added a layer of glitter over the white. I think China Glaze’s Fairy Dust or Snow Globe would add the perfect sparkle. Just make sure the white layer is totally dry before you layer on the glitter; otherwise, you’ll smear the white you just sponged on!

Next, use a black striper or a thin paint brush to create a wavy line. Then, use a thin paint brush, dotting tool, or toothpick to carefully add on your lights. I used red, yellow, blue, and green, but you should feel free to use whatever colors you like. :)

Make sure everything is totally dry, and then seal in the design with your favorite top coat!
