2. Christmas Snowman Nail Art
Adorn your holiday with winter romance using Christmas snowman nail decorations.
How to Create：
① Use white acrylic paint to draw snowflakes, then sprinkle powdered sugar before placing under the lamp.
② Sculpt two balls of modeling clay—one large, one small—and place them on the nail surface. After positioning them, cure under the lamp.
③ Use a white paint pen to stamp small dots, then illuminate them. Apply a thin layer of white paint across the entire surface without illumination. Sprinkle with sugar powder, then illuminate to create a knitted effect.
④ Create a scarf using sculpting clay and color it with pat-pat clay (since pat-pat clay is no-wash, no additional sealing layer is required).
⑤ Use no-rinse modeling clay or modeling putty to form the eyes, nose, mouth, buttons, and hands.
⑥ Use piping bag to pipe small dots onto glove surface. Apply blue fondant over entire glove, then sprinkle with powdered sugar. Finish with small white dots for decoration.
