Black Cats on Pink French Nails


This design is for all the cat-lovers. :) 
I love them too! 
These were definitely more difficult to do.. I plan to try painting the cats in a different way next time to make it more simple.


What I Used:


China Glaze-Dance Baby (Pink)
Milan-White
Opi- Onyx Black
Sally Hanson-Base & Top Coat
Acrylics-Light pink & Yellow
Fine nail art brush
Dotting tool


After applying your base coat, paint the tips of your nails pink - much like a french manicure. You can use any color you want, but try and keep it a lighter color so that the black cat will not be drowned out by the background.
Next, using a dotting tool and black paint,
add a large oval where the pink meets your natural nail.
Also using the dotting tool, add two small dots under the large oval to make the paws.
Use a fine nail art brush to add small, rounded triangles to the sides of the large oval,
which will become the cat's ears.
This is the hard part! Paint a black, squiggly tail between the two ears using a brush.
You can go over the edges with a dotting tool to
fix any mistakes and give it that smoother, clean look.
Paint two large, white dots for the eyes, a small dot underneath that for the nose
and dot a little bit of white in each ear.
Add two small dots for the pupils of the eyes.
The larger the pupils are, the cuter the cats look. :)
Paint a very light pink in the ears and some yellow for the nose.
Apply your top coat to make it look professional, and you're done!
(My cat tolerates me.)  ;)
