Surfer Dude Nails!

Finally, I had time to do a new manicure! Yes! This one is so cute and pretty easy, just time consuming. Well, let's begin.
The colors I used are a sparkly blue, orange, white, green, tan, red and black. A toothpick is also required! Nail art won't cut it! I needed the colors from the nail art!
First, put a base coat. Then, paint the entire nail white. This will make the design look brighter.
Now use the orange and paint your nail leaving some room at the tip. The blue will the going there. Put two coats of orange on. It doesn't have to be perfect. Now you have your sky.
Use your blue and paint the white area. Do two coats. Use your toothpick and dip it into the bottle of blue and make points so the water has waves. Do this to all the nails except your ring finger.
For your ring finger, make a hook like figure but make sure there is a ton of room left for your little surfer dude to go. This is the wave. Make the wave face inward.
Make an oval at the bottom of the orange and slightly on the water. Don't get super close to the wave. I used green for the oval and than outlined it with a darker green so it's is visible. Add a pink stripe, extremely thin, down the middle of the oval. You have made the board.
Now it's time to make the surfer dude. Using white first is probably your best option. Create the legs of a stick figure that are connected to the board, slightly slanted away from the wave. Use red for the bathing suit. Keep it slightly slanted also. The suit should look like shorts. Finally make the upper part of the body like the rest of the stick figure still slightly slanted. The arms should be more slanted than the rest of the body so it looks like he's balancing.
Isn't he sooooo cute?! Clean up any mess you made around the cuticle and now you have a gorgeous/ adorable surfer scene! :)
 That's all for today! Until next time,
Be bold, bright, and gorgeous!
