Penguin Nails Tutorial

Penguins are super cute! I have a penguin mug that gave me the inspiration for this nail art design.


What you will need:

1) toothpick
2) one base color of your choosing
3) black, orange and white nail polish
4) paper plate
5) small nail art brush

These are the polishes I used:

From left to right: Revlon-270 Cherries in the snow, Wet n Wild- French White Creme, Revlon- 430 Whimsical, Julep- Natasha.

Step 1:
Paint your nails with your base color. I chose Revlon-Whimsical because it reminded me of winter. It's a very light, clear blue with pretty glitter like snow.


Step 2:
With your white polish draw three very close together streaks from the bottom up.


Step 3: With your nail art brush outline the white polish with black.


Step 4:
Drop a drop of your black nail polish onto your paper plate and dip the tip of your toothpick in. Then dot on eyes. Do the same with your orange nail polish and make a triangular nose.


Step 5:
Add arms and hair to your penguin with your toothpick or nail art brush.

Step 6:
Follow the previous steps and finish the rest of your nails. Have fun with it! Give your penguins different personalities by making them tall, short, round, have different hair or add bows.

Here is my final result:
