Fair Isle Print for Avon + Tutorial

Hey everyone! I hope you all had a good christmas. Today's nails are keeping in the christmas spirit slightly as I dont quite want to let go of it, but they're also quite wintery so it's fine! I'd never done fair isle nails before so I decided to give them a try and I really like how they turned out. Steps are after the jump



 Step 1: Paint your nails red
Step 2: Using white draw a reindeer on your middle finger. Start with the body, then the legs and head, and then the tail and antlers
Step 3: Add a star to your nail, start slowly in the centre by drawing vague shapes and then fill them in to create diamonds meeting in the middle
Step 4: Add diamonds across your nail in white
Step 5: Using a striping brush add stripes to your nail and polka dots too
Step 6: Finish off with a topcoat to seal in your design

What do you think? Let me know in the comments!
