If you don’t feel like turning your entire nail into a candy cane, why not draw a bunch of little candy canes on them? Plus, the light green background really brightens the whole design.

Get the look:

1. Start with a base coat.

2. Once dry, apply two coats of a mint green nail polish (try Essie’s Mint Apple Green, $8).

3. Next, use a white nail pen to draw on little white candy cane shapes. You should angle the candy canes in different directions, and don’t be afraid to cut off a candy cane at the tip or edge of the nail.

4. Once the candy canes dry, use a red nail pen to add the stripes, which are so tiny, they’ll probably look just like dots.

5. After that step, use a yellow nail art pen to dot around the candy canes.



6. Finish with a top coat.
