Holiday Nail Art for Short Nails

Here is a very simple design for a holiday party or other event you can do with just a few colors of polish. I am with my family for the holidays, so I don't have any stripers, nail art pens or dotting tools, and only the few colors I keep here when I visit. So really, this is the perfect traveling for the holidays manicure.
The colors I used are Revlon "Sure Thing" (the white), NYC "Chelsea" (the red) and Claire's "Tin Man" (the silver). I painted a white base, then added 3 stripes of the red polish to my nail, two on the left and right edges and one in the middle. Then I filled in the empty spaces with the silver polish. The lines can be varying lengths, it really doesn't matter if they're all about the same or not. It's also really helpful to use a pretty dry brush to have the best control when placing the polish.

Thanksgiving NOTD

These were my nails of the day (NOTD) for thanksgiving. A really simple rose gold look with rhinestones. To begin, I painted my nails with a basecoat, then "Dancing Nails" by Sinful Colors and "Shimmering Shale" by Mineralfusion. Never in my entire 4.5 years of studying geology have I ever seen a rose gold, glittery shale, but I digress. It's a really pretty glitter. Then I just added the black and gray rhinestones to the bottom of each nail. Easy.
This look is festive and fancy, but definitely not specific to the winter holiday season. Any kind of special occasion where it's okay to get a little bit tacky works with these nails.

Easy Snowflake Nails

These nails aren't explicitly "Holiday," just kind of wintery, which I think is okay for this early in the holiday season. The dark blue I used is Sally Hansen "Blue it" and the light blue is Essie "Bikini so teeny." I alternated dark and light blue the way I did because I thought too much of the dark metallic blue would overpower the look. To draw my white snowflakes/ stars, I made an X on my nail, then a plus sign. I find that works better somehow. Then I alternated between a half moon snowflake and a nail tip snowflake with a black nail art pen on the light blue nails. I think it looks fine without any glitter, but a silver glitter accent instead of a snowflake on one of your nails would be cool also.
