Buggity Bug

Everyone loves lady beetles! Having them as nails is even cooler than keeping one as a pet.


Well, I thought it was really cute. I had tried to do bug nails before I eventually did this one. This one was my first really good attempt but I had done it with white eyes previously. I like the yellow eyes better, but I love googly eyes that I have done (use the Bugs tag to find it). 

I used OPI - Crimson Carol for the red and just a regular black Art Deco nail art polish for the black. I used the brush for everything but the dots. I used a dotting tool for the dots. Fairly easy. The eyes were just from a really cheap wheel thing I got from ebay.

Valentines means red explosion

Or something.

So I'll have two valentines inspired/themed nail designs that I'll put up before Valentines. This is the first and was something of an experiment on my part.


So you can see it's not totally even, but it still looks good. I really enjoyed this look, actually. And it's almost easy to do because you can just use the regular brush for the polish. All you need is a steady hand! Another good this is because the thickest part is at the top of the nail it takes longer to start to wear off.

I've used Sephora by OPI - Shopping Frenzy, OPI (Designer Series) - Sapphire, China Glaze - Ruby Pumps.
