I’ll just add a few notes and their sources to help you recreating them. 1) A non conventional Christmas tree: it’s a black french manicure and an accent nail with a black, sinuous tree drawn with a permanent ink marker, as the blogger has done.

Again I let the nail polish to air dry and then I applied two coats of a super cheap glitter top coat I have…
