Today I am going to show you how to come up with a Holiday Look with Q-tips Precision Tips!  All you need are some Q-tips Precision Tips, some tin foil, and nail polish!

To create this Holiday Look with Q-tips I reached for my worst glitter nail polish.  You know what I mean!  We all have a few bottles of glitter nail polish that we wish we hadn’t purchased.  You know.  The ones that look so good in the bottle?  But are impossible to get out of the bottle?  You may have to apply several layers to get the look you want… and by then your nails are a lumpy mess!  That’s where Q-tips Precision Tips come to the rescue!

Before you begin, pick your color of choice for your base and top it off with a quick dry top coat.  Then start with the steps below!

Grab some tin foil from your kitchen.  Fold it in half twice, then poor some of your glitter nail polish out of the bottle directly onto the tin foil.

Now is when the Q-tips Precision Tips come into play!  Using one end, spread the glitter nail polish around on the tin foil.  This will make it easier to pick up the glitter pieces!

Using the same end of your Q-tips Precision Tips, swirl it around in the glitter nail polish that you have spread out on the tin foil.  By swirling it, you are able to pick up several pieces at once.  You can also pick up individual pieces, but I like picking up several at a time – it’s faster!

Now, gently apply the glitter to your nail with the Q-tips Precision Tips.  You can be as precise as you want!

Continue applying the glitter to each of your nails.  On some nails I did just one piece at a time, but as I got more comfortable I applied several pieces at once and then spread them around on my nail.  If any pieces of glitter end up on your cuticle, just flip the Q-tips Precision Tips over and use the dry end to move that piece!  If neither end of your Q-tips Precision Tips is dry, grab a new one – they are convenient, affordable and disposable!
