You’ll need red and green nail polish, a thin nail art brush, and top coat to create the holly leaves design.
What you should do is this:
Get started with a clean slate by painting your nails red and letting them dry completely.

Dot tiny red circles on top of the green leaves with the nail art brush to make them look like holly berries.
To complete the look and ensure its durability, a protective top coat should be applied.
