![]() I went for Sally Hansen Miracle Gel in Frill Seeker all over the the nail. I’ve done this in the past and I just find it to be extremely simple, yet effective and I love the look using two autumnal tones. Coupled with the fact that they each take about 10 minutes to do and require minimal tools, both all of which you’ll already have at home – I think I’m coming round to the idea…įor the first look I went for a simple dot at the base of the nail. I have however, found two designs that appeal to my minimalist approach to beauty and can even be performed with a non-dominant hand. And let’s not even mention trying to do nail art with my left hand. Whenever I want to do something precise on my nail bed, I end up sweating, not breathing, almost passing out and then having to re-do each nail about 15 times. I must admit though, that’s not down to any other factor aside from my lack of skills in the nail bedazzling department. It’s only something I venture into every now and again, but especially in the festive season, when I feel like getting a little jazzy. A bit of a beige here, a chic nod to red there that’s about as ‘ crazy‘ as I get. When it comes to nail colour, I like to keep things simple.

They’re super cheap and you get a ton of colors to make designs with. I only just got these two things for Christmas and they have seriously made playing around with my nails super easy. I just thought I would show you the things I used, as it made it so much easier to do. I used a gel top coat as it just helps prevent wear and tear! I like to use the brush to make the beak but, it isn’t essential!Īllow your penguin to dry completely and then cover with a shiny top coat. The reason I didn’t include the ‘brush’ in the initial ‘what you will need’ is because you could end the process here if you wanted too or you could use your dotting tool to make a small, round mouth. Just fill it in with more of your yellow. Taking a nail art brush or a small paint brush, draw an upside down triangle in the middle of your penguins ‘belly’, this is your penguins beak. ![]() Once dry, taking a small nail art pen or any small tool like the one below, dip the end in to black polish and dab on to the penguins eyes, making ‘pupils’. Taking a rounded shape nail art brush or any tools you can find in this shape, dip it in to your white and create two circle blobs just touching your penguins belly. You just need to make an ‘n’ shape on your nail.įill that in with the white (or color of your liking) and wait for that to dryīefore you start this step please make sure your nail is properly dry, if it isn’t applying the ‘eyes’ could smudge the belly and oh my god, you have to start again. Taking either a manicure white tip white or a nail art brush such as this one. If you don’t feel like your blue is ‘blue enough’ just go over it again and allow that to dry. You then just coat your nail in the color and allow that to really dry. Once that is dry move on to the color you want your penguin to be. This just protects your nail from the polish and as you can see from the photo, mine helps your nails grow! ![]() You don’t necessarily need the exact colors from above, you can make any color penguin but, these were my favorite and I kinda wanted him to be blue instead of your normal black penguin. I got these for Christmas which comes with a ton of colors and is so handy when creating nail art like this one. You’re going to need a few things before we begin.Ĭlear polish/base coat, blue nail polish, white nail polish, black nail polish ,yellow nail polish and either some nail art tools or some small rounded tools. If you’re a newbie like me you might think it’s too hard, too much waiting around but, trust me it’s actually one of the easiest nail designs I have ever done. I do though, love making little easy designs and impressing my family from time to time, a little design I learnt just a few days ago is going to be the topic of today’s post. I have the patience, I have the tools (no I actually do have the tools!) but i’m not a nail artist. I can’t do anything magical or out of this world. The only problem is they seem to get really complicated. I love nail art, I can sit and scroll through pinterest DIY’s for hours on end. ![]()
