Lady Buggies

So for some reason, I'm in love witht he lady bug prints. So I made them into nails :3

It's actually very simple and there are two ways to doing the lady bug nails: one is to pain the nails black but leave the bottom part for the red, then fill in the connecting portion with black nail art pen so that the line is nicely defined.

Another way is to pain the entire nail red, and cover the top with black and then filling up any crooked lines with a nail art pen.

Will be doing a post to talk about dotting your nails, but it's really fairly simple once you know about it! Have fun lady buggies!

Lady bug nails for the thumb and ring finger :)

Remember to add a line in the middle to
create a realistic body for your buggy!

Love the colors, really brightens the dull
rainy season!

Unexpected Guest during experimentation

What I did:

Love Blossoms: Using a metallic pink base, I picked up some black on the needle to paint out branches. Adding a dot of bloody red with the dotter or brush, the flowers are added and immediately you have the design

Infected Love: Like Love Blossoms, using the metallic pink for base and black on needle for vein design

My Heart All Cut Up - Bright red for base, then using white you paint the top of a heart at the tips and the pointed shape of the heart on top of the nail. The inverted colors make it feel like the heart (in white) is cut out

Swirling Love -  A little more complicated, but start first with a dark purple base. I basically laid out all colors on paper (like the first image set with all the colors) and with a brush I just mix different colors to add swirls. Sometimes I mix #03 and #05, sometimes #02 & #06. At the end of it, you have multi layers of different color.

Young Little Love - Start with a metallic pink base, then add the french twist of bright red, with three pink dots for an over-the-top cuteness. Just like all young, puppy love. Sweetened and too cute
(Back to Image)

Seduction - Gold base, with bloody red forming a v shape at the mid-section of the nails. Paint the bottom of the V-shape bloody red and then add in the black outlines. A little white to the black laces will make it look more defined
(Back to Image)

Love is a disease - White base, with bright red inverted heart near the tip. Add in dots and you'd have the design look like the above pattern
(Back to Image)

True Bloody Love - Inspired by the vampire love stories. Using white as base, and bloody red for the blood trickle design. Mix bloody red with a pinch of black and make the gradient paint upwards from the tip of the nails
(Back to Image)

Love like a Lifeline - Simple bloody red base and a white on needle nailart
(Back to Image)

Love Prints - Bright red base with a white strip down the nail. Add little hearts to the white, first make two dots like Mickey Mouse ears and then using a brush, paint the rest of the heart shape
(Back to Image)

Love is golden - Two coats of bloody red and start brushing gold paint from the tip of the nails. Have in intensely concentrated at the tip and slowly fade it upwards. Like a gradient
