Unveiling Festive Holiday Nail Designs by Jini Lim
In the spirit of the holiday season, the renowned celebrity manicurist Jini Lim offers two exquisite nail design ideas to brighten your celebrations. Utilizing the vibrant shades from Essie’s Northern Lights-inspired Winter 2018 collection, these designs are perfect for those on the go or for creating a last-minute festive look. Let’s explore these stunning designs that will surely elevate your holiday style quotient.
The Holiday Cheer Look
This look combines a classic holiday color palette with a touch of elegance. Follow these simple steps to achieve the stunning Holiday Cheer look.
Step 1: Base and Gold Coating
Start by applying a thin layer of Essie’s ‘Here to Stay’ base coat. Afterward, coat each nail with two layers of ‘Million Mile Hues’, a gorgeous gold metallic polish. This base will create the perfect backdrop for our festive design.
Step 2: Classic Red Detailing
Next, utilize ‘Hear Me Aurora’, a deep red shade, to cover the free edge of each nail, taking care to leave a half-moon shape of gold at the base. This iconic design element infuses a classic yet contemporary flair into your manicure.
Step 3: Seal the Deal
Finish off by sealing your design with a layer of ‘Speed Setter’ top coat for extra shine and long-lasting wear. This step ensures that your manicure remains pristine throughout your holiday festivities.
The Starry Winter Night Look
If you prefer a more whimsical approach, the Starry Winter Night look will captivate your senses with twinkling elements during cold winter evenings.
Step 1: A Night Sky Base
Apply a thin foundation of ‘Here to Stay’ base coat and follow it with two layers of ‘Sights on Nightlights’. This purple shade encapsulates the mysterious allure of a winter night sky.
Step 2: Adding Starry Elegance
With a thin liner tool, alternate painting star shapes on the tips of some nails and the base of others using the ‘Million Mile Hues’ polish. This technique gives your nails an ethereal appearance reminiscent of stars glistening brightly in the night sky.
Step 3: Polishing Perfection
Complete your celestial design with a protective layer of ‘Speed Setter’ top coat. This not only adds a beautiful gleam but also ensures durability.
With these two stunning styles crafted by Jini Lim, you’ll embrace the holidays with freshly manicured flair. Whether you opt for traditional red and gold or a more whimsical starry night, these designs will bring festive excitement to your fingertips and make your holiday season truly unforgettable.
