Nails with a bow

I got a new polish called Green Up Your Act from Nicole by OPI. So I just did all my nails with that color and on just both ring fingers, I made a bow. The knot of the bow is a silver rhinestone and the bow part I used little beads that I got from a store Daiso. I don't know if you've ever heard of it, but it's a Japanese store that sells a bit of everything from household stuff to school stuff to even nail stuff. The design is really cute, but it took time to make the bow since I had to put the beads one by one. Anyways. The color on my nail looks blu-ish, but the real color is on the bottle. Hope you guys like it!

Ladybug Nails!

Ok this ladybug design is by far my favorite! So I started off using OPI The Thrill of Brazil to make a curve on half of my nail. Then using Art Club Nail Art Black, I first made the head of the ladybug trying to make it an oval as much as possible, second making a triangle in the middle of the wings to make them look split, and third making the antennas, leaving enough room for the dots at the end of the antennas making the designs a bit cuter. Using a dotting tool and L.A. Colors Art Deco Yellow, I made dots on the wings and I know it kind of looks orange in the picture. Anyways, you can use any colors you want. To finish the look, I dotted eyes on the head. Hope you enjoy the design!
