Minnie Mouse Nail Art Tutorial


Hey everyone,
                       Welcome back :) I do hope all my viewers are doing well and enjoying everything the New Year has brought thus far. Today, I have something a bit more playful and one that will definitely bring back those childhood memories. A simple Minnie Mouse inspired design and all you will need are your polishes, nail art brush and dotting tool. Also, be sure to start off with a base coat before applying polish to protect your natural nails. Let’s get on to the tutorial!




Step one: I began with a mix of pink and white polish like shown below.





Step two: Next, create a semi-circle close to the cuticle. Do this using a thin nail art brush and black polish; outline the semi-circle then fill in the shape.

 




Step three: Next, using a larger dotting tool and black polish create two spots at the edge of the semi-circle previously made. This will represent Minnie’s ears. 





Step four: In the free space between the ‘ears’ using a thin brush and white polish create an ‘X’ shape then connect the edges like shown.





Step five: Fill in the vacant area inside white lines to form a bow then add pink dots like shown.





Step six: Clean up around your nails to remove any polish from the skin and add your preferred clear top coat to smooth out design and add shine.







Products used:
China Glaze: Pom pom
Essie: Cute as a button
LA Girl: Obsidian
Sinful colors: Snow me white
