that features easy to do designs without having to use professional nail art tools such as

dotting tools or stripers. That's right, all you're going to need is nail polishes and

a toothpick from your kitchen!

So let's begin with a cute little santa hat. Start off by painting your nail a light green.

Next use a red nail polish and pull the brush down with a slight curve twice to create the

hat. Then use a white nail polish to dot the top of the hat for a pompom and then gently

pull the brush down a few times at the very tip of the nail. Pretty easy! Finish off your

cute santa hat with a top coat.

Next up is christmas tree. Begin by painting your nail with a gold polish. Then use a green

polish and stroke downwards to create a stripe for your guideline. Then gently brush outwards

on each side of the stripe to create the branches. Increase the length of the swipes as you move

downwards. Don't worry about making them perfectly symmetrical, real trees are always unique.

Then for the top of the tree, you can add some top coat and a rhinestone for a little

bling, or you could always just use a red polish and dot the top using the brush. Finally

we are going to decorate the tree using a toothpick and red polish. Add very tiny dots

going diagonally across the tree. Finish your tree with a top coat and you're done!

And now for an easy wrapped gift. Begin by painting your nail white. Next use a gold

polish to paint the bottom half of your nail. Take your time while you do this and try to

start each stroke at the same place. Then use a red polish and stroke downwards twice

to add the wrapping paper. Remember to leave a strip of gold above it for the ribbon. Then

do the same on the other side, leaving a strip of gold down the middle for ribbon as well.

Finish the gift by adding two gold hoops for a bow to the very top using a toothpick. Add

a fast drying top coat and your gift is ready to be delivered.

Up next is a bulb ornament for a tree. Begin by painting your nail with a light blue or

periwinkle polish. Next use a blue polish to add a circle to the bottom half of your

nail. I like to use a polish with a pearl or shimmer finish for this as it really adds

to the ornament. Once you have a rough circle made, you can go back in and clean up the

line. Next I'm going to add a little square of silver at the very top using a toothpick,

and then use a black polish to add a thin little hoop to hang the ornament. Finish with

a glossy top coat and you're done!

Last but not least is a christmas stocking. Begin by painting your nail gold. Next stroke

a red polish downwards twice to create a thick rectangle. Then pull a stroke up diagonally

to meet the rectangle and you've got yourself a nice little stocking. Then add some finishing

touches by dabbing a white nail polish on the very top of the stocking, and then use

a toothpick to add a white patch to the heel. And of course, you're going to want to seal

it all in with a fast drying top coat.

And that's it! You're all done! If you'd decide to give any of these five designs a try, then
