Adorable Panda Accent Nail with Dots (feat. Sinful Colors Thimbleberry)


This mani is basically a direct copy of an ad I saw while walking in Chicago.  After my interview, my friend and I had gone to Chinatown to devour some delicious cuisine, and then we chanced upon this ad! I just knew I had to recreate it - a panda accent nail? Who could resist?? Certainly not me haha xD Details on how I created this mani after the jump...

For panda accent nail, I started off with a white base. Then, in order to create the half moon shape, I used hole punch reinforcements and painted over the top half of the nail with China Glaze For Audrey.  After peeling off the reinforcement, I took a small nail art brush and painted on the panda's adorable ears, eyes, and mouth with my trusty Sinful Colors Black on Black.  Finally, two small white dots to complete the panda!

The rest of the nails were started with Sinful Colors Thimbleberry, a beautiful coral color.  The formula was excellent and I only needed one coat.  I used my smallest dotting tool to create dots with For Audrey - starting in the middle and working my way out.  And voila! A recreation (albeit less perfect) of the nails I saw in the ad :)
