Get ready to elevate your holiday nail game with three exciting new MasterClass episodes featuring the award-winning nail artist, Kirsty Meakin! Known for her creativity and innovative techniques, Kirsty shares some of her favorite festive designs, perfect for this holiday season. Here’s a glimpse into the incredible nail art techniques she’s showcasing and how they can inspire your own creations.

“With all of these holiday-inspired techniques, there is a bit of layering involved,” says Kirsty, who believes layering adds a beautiful depth to nail art. In the Snowflake episode, she demonstrates a layering technique that captures the magic of winter. By carefully building up translucent layers, the snowflake appears to float against a frosted windowpane backdrop. The effect is mesmerizing and brings a touch of holiday enchantment to your nails.

Another standout design is Kirsty’s Christmas Cookie. This adorable nail art looks like an iced gingerbread cookie perched on your nail. The layering here is key to achieving the realistic “iced” effect, and it’s sure to bring a smile to anyone who sees it. The gingerbread tree design combines playful charm with intricate detailing, making it a holiday favorite.

Negative space techniques also take center stage in her Peppermint Twist episode. Kirsty demonstrates how to incorporate negative space into holiday designs for an elegant, understated look. “This allows the design to peek in and out, giving a soft yet festive feel to the nails,” explains Kirsty. This technique ensures the design isn’t overwhelming, making it easy to pair with a variety of holiday outfits. It’s perfect for those who want to embrace the season’s spirit while keeping their nails versatile and stylish.

No holiday nail art is complete without a bit of sparkle! “Embellishments are always a great idea during the holidays,” says Kirsty. In the Peppermint Twist episode, she uses embellishments to create a border between the holiday-themed art and the negative space. This adds a glamorous touch while maintaining the overall versatility of the design.

Whether you’re inspired by floating snowflakes, iced cookies, or elegant negative space, these MasterClass episodes will ignite your creativity and help you master festive nail art on any client this holiday season!
