Hi! This post will be another nail art tutorial, ladybug nails! I do have to give credit to cutepolish for this idea, her video can be found here. I did tweak her technique a little... you'll see where in my photo tutorial. I just think these ladybug nails are so cute and adorable, and perfect during the spring and summer! Let's start!
Materials needed:
-Classic red cream polish
-Black striper
-Black polish
-White polish
-Dotting tool or the end of a bobby pin
Start with a classic red cream polish as your base colour. I used Rimmel Lasting Finish Pro in Stiletto Red. You can see my swatch and review of this polish here.
.
Next, using the black striper, make one line across the tips of your nails, then one line down the middle of the nail, making a "T".
Then, with the black polish, fill in the tips to the line across your nail, similar to an over-exagerrated french manicure tip.
Now, using the black polish and a dotting toolmake 3-4 dots alternating the distance from the line down the middle of the nail. Make sure the dots are equal in size and shape.
Finally, using the white polish and a clean dotting tool, make 2 dots on the black tips to create eyes. Finished!
What I used:
Base Coat: 1 coat of Pro FX Epoxy Bond Base Coat
Classic Red Cream Polish: 2 coats of Rimmel Lasting Finish Pro Stiletto Red
Black Striper: Kiss Nail Art Paint Black
Black Polish: of 2 coats Rimmel Lasting Finish Pro Black Satin
White Polish: OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls
Dotting Tool: The end of a bobby pin!
I hope you enjoyed this manicure!
