Using a tiny paintbrush and a bright red polish, paint the shape of the stocking just beneath the mantle.

Using the same thin nail art brush, paint a small black rectangle at the top of the white line to create the appearance of the fireplace.

Next, take two or three different shades of brown and burgundy polish and, using a tiny paintbrush, paint little lines onto your nail in an alternating pattern to create the brick effect on the fireplace.

Continue painting the brick-work until you have covered your whole nail.

Finish by applying a top coat of clear nail polish to your nails. This will help protect your design and make it last longer.
