Nail Art Tutorial: Jeans on my Nails

I was going for a very simple nail art for the week as I am feeling under the weather after my Shanghai Trip. Yup, even if I'm sick, I can't stand it when I see my "chipped" nails. My Panda nails was losing either its mouth or the other eye so I've decided to create a quick nail art which anyone can try! :)

It's inspired by the most casual yet important piece of clothing in anyone's closet --- Jeans!

Step 1:

Apply your preferred base coat. In this tutorial, I am using OPI Start to Finish Base and Top Coat. Once base coat is completely dry, apply 2 coats of any "blue" polish that would remind you of your favorite jeans! I actually do not have one so I chose the closest which is my OPI's Yodel Me On My Cell.

Step 2:

Once the base color is dry, use a small nail art brush or any art brush and apply "stitch-like" lines with a yellow polish. I am using Bright Yellow polish from Caronia.

You can do random "stitches" on each nail.

Step 3:

Create a huge dot with nail art dotting tool or any round object, you can also use a cotton bud and dot random colors that you think would look good against the bluish base color. I opted for white and pink! White Polish from The Face Shop, Pink shade from Orly Cotton Pink.

Step 4:

Making sure the huge dots are dry, you can use a needle, in my case, I used a mechanical pencil to create 4 tiny red dots to form a "button"!

Step 5:

Once nail art is completely dry, apply top coat to protect your nails using wrapping method if you want to! I am using the same OPI Start to Finish Base and Top Coat as Step 1.
