Hello there lovely readers!
Today I have some fun & quirky nail
art in the form of one of my favourite animals...Penguins! :D I think
out of all my nail art attempts so far, I'm liking this one the
best. Not only because its such a cute & easy to do design but
'Pingu' (that funny odd little penguin character from our childhoods) also happens to be my nickname, bestowed upon me by one of my
besties...how I got this nickname? Well apart from my petite
size I've been kindly informed by my friends that when I run I bear a
pretty strong resemblance to this most comical of creatures...*side
eye*...hence why you will most probably never see me run in public ever again
o_O
What do you think? Every time I looked
down at my nails I just couldn't help but smile, definitely worked as
a great mood lifter when things were getting a tad stressed at work!
Here's a step by step picture tutorial to show I created my Pingu
Penguin nails!
After applying base coat I started off
with two coats of Barry M Black
Next I used a random white polish &
the brush to create a long oval like shape for the belly of the
penguin, which I went over wice for a more opaque finish.
For the eyes I used the same white
polish & the end of one of my nail art brushes to add the two
large dots side by side just above the belly.
I wanted my penguins to be pretty blue
eyed boys so using a smaller dotting tool or whatever you have at
your disposal i.e. hair bobby pin etc. I placed a smaller blue dot of
polish, in this case LA Colors Wired, inside the larger white dots.
Then for my little penguin feet I used
Collection Hip Hop which is a lovely creamy bright orange, &
painted on two little tip tappy happy feet at the tips with a nail
art brush.
Finally for the beaks I used some
pretty tear-drop shaped orange stones from my nail art wheels, stuck
on with a bit of clear polish which were perfect! Of course instead
of stones you can paint on the beaks with some of the orange polish
used from before.
Finish off with a thick coat or two of
topcoat to seal & shine & you have your happy little
penguins! Sadly thumb penguin didn't make it...poor bugger got
knocked & there was not enough time to save him *cue moment of
silence*
Really hope you liked the Penguin nails
dolls! Till next time!
Lotsa love to ya!
