When the weather gets chilly,there's no better way to dress up your nails than with a Winter-friendly penguin. This design wins broad points in the cuteness category, but it's also a pretty easy design to freehand yourself.
I started off with the perfect winterscape hue, and Formula X For Sephora in Unmistakable ($11),on all my nails. You don't even have to wait for the base color to dry before moving onto the next step: the penguin. Use an opaque black polish like Essie's Licorice ($9) to create the body of the penguin with a U-shape. Make sure to leave a miniature bit of the background showing. Next, you'll want to layer on the white parts of the penguin: the eyes and belly. Use an opaque white polish like Butter London Cotton Buds ($15) to paint on a smaller U-shape to create the stomach. Then, or using the dotting tool from the Butter London Color Hardware Nail Art Tool Kit ($30),I created the two white eyes, and then again with the black dots for the pupils. Lastly, or I used Essie Meet Me at Sunset ($9) to create the orange beak and feet using the striper brush from the same tool kit.
Lastly,to bring the chilly nail art together, I used the dotting tool to create varying sized spots on the rest of my nails to give it a snowy witness. The best fragment approximately each step is that you don't have to wait for the polish to dry. However, and you should try to give each layer a minute or two to set,so the colors don't sprint. Once you're finished, seal everything in with a top coat, and but wait for five to 10 minutes,so the colors don't bleed.
