2. Spongebob

Hello and welcome to my second post for my nail art project. This post was inspired by one of my favorite cartoons growing up as a child, Spongebob Squarepants!

To start with Spongebob, first draw two white circles for his eyes and outline them with a black polish and add three little lines for his eyelashes. A small half circle for his nose and his mouth. For his shirt simply draw one white line and one brown line underneath and outline the details and fill in the tie with red polish. After that dries, add in the mouth, cheek, and eye details.

Patrick is very simple. Draw a thumb like shape with pink/peach polish and let that dry. After, draw a small black line for his mouth and eyebrows. Draw two white circles and outline with black for his eyes.

To start with plankton, use a light yellow to draw a circle for his eye and draw a crescent shape for his mouth with black polish. After that dries draw a red circle for his eye and add his eyebrow with black polish. Then draw tiny squares for his teeth in white polish and two small ovals in pink for his tongue.

For Gary, draw two straight lines from the bottom in blue polish. Use a light olive polish for two small circles for his eyes. After that dries, draw two small red circles for his eyes and outline with black polish.

Inspired by the flower sky, I started off with a yellow polish and used a glitter topcoat to imitate bubbles. For the flowers simply use a blue or turquoise polish and outline a shape of a flower and add a small dot in the center.

Thank you for reading this and I hope it helped!

1. Winnie the Pooh

Hello! Welcome to my first post for my special nail art project. A quick summary of what I'm doing is, painting on acrylic nails my favorite cartoons and characters from when I was growing up to the present day and presenting them in a shadowbox frame. Also, doing quick tutorials on how I painted them. 

My first post is inspired by Winnie the Pooh!

To start with Pooh, use a light golden color to be his skin. After that has dried, use a thin brush and black nail polish to draw the outlines of his face.

Next is Eeyore's iconic tail. Start by drawing the outline with a thin brush and black nail polish. Make the tail messy and "bushy" like to get the effect of the hair. After that has dried, use a light pink nail polish to fill in the bow, and use a gray polish to fill in his tail.

For the bee, start by doing the outline for it and doing small strokes for the beeline. After that has dried, fill in the bee using yellow nail polish and white polish for the wings.

For piglet use two shades of pink, a light and medium one. Using the bottle brush for the light pink draw a triangle shape at the bottom of the nail. Using the medium pink, draw medium sized triangles for the ears. After that has completely dried, outline the ears and head with a black polish and add two small dots for the eyes and small strokes for the eyebrows.

For tigger, I completely forgot to take multiple pictures, but will try my best to explain it. Start off with any light color you like, I chose to do a light pink. Start with orange and do a half circle at the base of the nail. Draw two small dots to make ears. After that has dried, use a yellow polish and draw two strokes in the middle of the face, the bottom one being longer than the top. Draw two small dots for the ears. After that has dried, use a peach or pink polish to draw a small oval for the nose. Then using a black polish, to draw the face details and whiskers.

Thank you for reading this, and I hope it helped you to create your own designs!
