Penguin Nail Art Tutorial

These aren't any ordinary penguins, these penguins have bow ties!
Just too cute to resist!!!!! These penguin nails sure do make a statement! Well, let's get started!

First, put on a base coat then a solid coat of light blue.
Next, take white nail polish and create an arch in the center. Fill it in and be sure to leave some blue noticeable on  the sides and top.
Now, use a toothpick to create two small dots on each nail in the white range. These are the eyes.
Use another toothpick to make a a tiny orange triangle facing down between the two eyes.
Take the orange again to make two little dots at the edge of the nails for feet.
You could stop right here for the classic penguin look but, I enjoy going to the extreme! Take a light pink and make a dot in the center of the white. On the sides of each dot, make two larger ones, opposite sides from one another.
Finally, use a top coat and clean up any sloppiness with nail polish remover. Viola! Totally adorbs penguin with bow ties nails! 
Just look at the little face. Don't you just wanna melt!

That's all for today!  Please like my Facebook page here.
Until the next time,
Be bold, bright, and gorgeous!

Owl Nails Tutorial

Hello Fashionistas! Today, I'm gonna share this adorable tutorial on how to do owl nails! I just couldn't resist doing these :)
 
 Aren't they cute? Well, let's get started! 

First, use base coat then paint your nails a solid color and make an arch near the cuticle. 
Next, use a contrasting color for the stomach. It's just another arch facing the opposite direction.
Take a toothpick and use the color you used as a base coat to make tiny curved lines on the stomach.
For the eyes, make two yellow dots (big, but not too large) with some space between just above the owl's tummy.
Now, take a black and place a tiny dot in each eye.
Next, take an orange and make a mini triangle between the eyes. It should be slightly on the belly. This is the beak.

Finally, add the top coat and clean up any messes with nail polish remover.
Hooray! You now have an Oh-Too-Cute owl mani!
