Penguin Christmas Nail Art

Whenever I go to the zoo I always love to visit the penguins. They are so cute. One time I even put my hand in their cage and one of them jumped up and nibbled on my finger. I didn't even care.

I wasn't sure if penguins could get any more adorable until I saw them on nails with Santa Claus hats on. So I decided to create my very own penguin Christmas nail art. I hope you like it!

About These Penguin Christmas Nails

These penguin nails were not extremely difficult to do but they did take a good amount of patience and a few different nail art tools. For example, I used two different size dotting tools, a thin nail art brush for the Santa hat and 6 different nail polish colors, not including the base coat and top coat.

I decided to keep the design simple by just doing one penguin on my ring finger and some Christmas polka dots on the other nails. If you want to make your Christmas penguin nails more fancy, here are some ideas.

1. You can give your penguin or penguins a Christmas scarf. 2. You can paint penguins on all of your nails and have them all unique. 3. You can have the penguins all be looking in the same direction or in all different directions. 4. You can do really small penguins in a wintery scene. 5. ....

With your holiday penguin nails feel free to create them as simple or as complex as you desire. You have a lot of options and if you come up with some more and want to share them on this nail art page please do. You can add your comments in the form below.
