Class Experience

Class will begin with students learning a technique to create a smooth base coat of polish. Then using household items (a toothpick and the back of a watercolor paintbrush) students will be taught a step-by-step method to create a beginner friendly Christmas tree nail art design using a dotting method. Students are taught as I paint along with them and also break down the steps via a slideshow presentation. We walk through the process together and students are encouraged to use their creativity and have fun during the process, more than focusing on the outcome of the class- however, hopefully at the end of class they will have fun holiday ready nails that they love! Please note that with all the variables in an art class like this, the time of the class (30 minutes) may vary about 5-10 minutes.

Parental Guidance
Please be aware of any allergies to any of the nail polish ingredients before using the polish. Also, be aware of the possibly messy nature of nail polish and plan accordingly by protecting the work surface.
Supply List
For this class students will need:

* 1 color of polish for the all over base color (the background color on all 10 nails.)
* 2-3 Colors of Polish for the tree (A green color and 1 or 2 other colors for the "ornaments." I used green, white and red in the example.) 
* A polish color for the star and trunk of the tree
* A toothpick
* The back of a watercolor paintbrush (optional) 
* A small square of tin foil. 
* OPTIONAL: To achieve the look in the example, a gold glitter nail polish was used on the nails that don't have the tree design. 
* Anything wanted to protect the work surface.
