Simple DIY Paw Print Nail Art

Today, I am going to introduce you to a very simple bit of nail art!This can be easily achieved at home, and can be done in any colour, so you can alter it to change your outfit, or mood! <3

The Design will be a paw print design, like this one ---->
All this design uses is the 'dotting' technique.
Learning how to dot is very simple, and can be achieved with everyday objects, such as a toothpick.
I opt to use specially designed 'dotting tools' that come double sided, to create different sized dots with ease, these can be picked up fairly cheap on ebay!
So, once you have chosen your colours, and your tool, Lets get going!

I have chosen '17 Lasting Finish Nail Polish' in 'Mint Choc Chip' as my base colour and 'La femme' in 'Ebony' for the black paw prints.
I always apply 'Collection 2000's' 2-in-1 strengthener as my base coat, to keep my nails strong, but this is obviously optional, and I have the 'La Femme' Quick dry Top coat (I love this top coat, as it gives it an ultra glossy shine!)

Then, it is simply, apply your all over base colour, then, when this is completely dry, apply 2 or 3 larger dots scattered around the nails, (you don't want to apply too many, as it will look overcrowded), then...easy as pie, just dab 3 smaller dots around one side of each of the larger dots, and et voila! You have created a very simple peice of nail art! 'Paw Prints!'
These super cute nails can be done in any colour, and are perfect for any time of year!



I would love to see your paw print nail creations, so please get in touch! :D
Next time, I will teach you how to create a very simple 'Leopard Print' Nail effect, using, once again, just nail polish and a toothpick!
