**This is a time consuming project. You can not rush it.

**When you switch colors use a new sponge or switch it to and unused side.

***This is technically a 3-in-1 project you can put your own spin on it and do only the blue nails or only the snowman nails or you can do what I did and mix it together :)

Blue Nails:
1. Always use a base coat.
2. Then paint 1 coat of light pink. I used Essie Sugar Daddy. Let it dry.
3. On the palette put a couple of drops of silver. I used Essie Loophole.
4. Take a piece of sponge and lightly dip into the silver taking the excess by dabbing to the side of the polish.
5. Gently start from the tip and work your way down leaving 1-2 cm untouched by the silver. It should be super light. Let it dry.
6. Now repeat steps 1-3 but only going half way of the silver with blue. I used China Glaze Sexy in the City. Let it dry.
7. Repeat steps 1-3 again but stick to the very tips of your nails with dark blue. I used OPI Russian Navy. Let it dry.
8. Repeat steps 1-3 one more time with glitter. I used China Glaze Lorelei's Tiara.
9. Finish with a top coat.

Snowman Nails:

1. Always use a base coat.

2. Then paint 1 coat of light pink. I used Essie Sugar Daddy. Let it dry.

3. On the palette put a couple of drops of silver. I used Essie Loophole.

4. Take a piece of sponge and lightly dip into the silver taking the excess by dabbing to the side of the polish.

5. Gently start from the tip and work your way down leaving 1-2 cm untouched by the silver. It should be super light. Let it dry.

6. Now repeat steps 1-3 but only going half way of the silver with white. I used China Glaze White on White. Let it dry.

**Snowman time!

7. Using the biggest dotting tool create the body with white (I used China Glaze White on White) with a bigger circle on the bottom a smaller circle on top, leave a small space in between the two. Drawing these two circles you will have to make them bigger than what the dotting tool makes. Let it dry.

8. Using the biggest dotting tool make the eyes with black (I used Orly Liquid Vinyl) in the middle of the top circle and with the smallest dotting tool make 2 buttons with black on the bottom circle. With a medium dotting tool free hand draw the hat.

9. With a medium dotting tool make the inside eye circle with white.

10. With a medium dotting tool make the scarf free hand. I used OPI The Thrill of Brazil but you can use any color of your choice. Let it dry completely so it won't smear.

**Star time.

11. Using a dotting tool but a dot of clear polish on the side of the snowman, pick up the star and drop it on the clear polish while still wet.

12. Apply as many as you like.

13. Finish with a top coat.
