Step 1 Klaudia Tirico
Start by painting your 3D faux pearls with your festive nail polishes. You can use the nail polish brush or a thin paint brush. Let them dry.

Step 2 Klaudia Tirico
While you're waiting for your pearls to dry, paint your nails with two coats of your base color of choice.

Step 3 Klaudia Tirico
Once your pearls are dry, apply a clear top coat one nail at a time and use tweezers to pick up the pearls and place them on your nails. You can add as many or as little as you wish.

Step 4 Klaudia Tirico
Finish it off by adding a thin, black stripe from the tip of your nail to the ornament. We also used essie polish in Beyond Cozy, a silver glitter, to add a thin line at the tip of the nail as tinsel. Add a quick-dry top coat and, voila! You've got a festive holiday mani!
