Application: Base coat, two coats of white, stripes of red, and a top coat.
Tips: Add a fast-dry top coat on the white before you add the red stripes. It really helps minimize messing up the white coat. This design was done free-hand with a nail art brush, but if necessary, you can use the straight edge of a sticker to help you with the stripes. When adding the top coat, instead of going straight down your nail like usual, paint it on in the direction of the stripes so the red doesn't smudge onto the white part of the "candy cane."
Why we love it: Looks almost edible. Is definitely not.
