" I LOVE CATS! " nail design

Hello beautiful people(: I am back and I hope to be blogging at a normal pace now! anyways..
If anyone knows me, I am such a cat lover. So whats better to show my love for cats than to put them on my  nails? Cats are awesome so why not? 

The thumb nail looks similar to the pinkie nail if anyone was curious.
Want to know how to do them? Sadly I don't have step to step pictures, but I can try my best to explain.













1) Apply a base-coat and apply a white base-color.

2) Pick out 2 different shades of pink and take a makeup sponge. Then dab the lighter shade of pink onto the sponge. Apply it onto the top part of your nail, and stop once you get to the middle.

3) On a different part of your sponge, take the darker shade of pink and dab it onto the lower part of your nail. This effect is called an "ombre".

4) Make nail stickers for the cat. Currently I don't have a tutorial, but there are several ways to learn how online. I made the nail sticker for the "I" also, but you can simply brush the white on for an I using a striper. 

5) To make the cat, drop 1 drop of white onto a plastic sandwich bag, then take a needle/toothpick and make an oval. If your nail polish isn't dried yet, drag up the nail polish to make an ear on each side of the oval, you should get two ears. I dabbed more white polish onto my toothpick and added it to each ear since my polish dried.

6) Take a black polish and dab some onto the pick, then poke it into the white cat you just made, for their eyes.

7) After your stickers are dry, peel them off and apply some more polish to the bottom, then apply to your nail! For the pinkie and middle finger, I used nail art beads and gems I bought from the dollar tree. The back design is a konad plate M72.
