Cool Nail Art Designs

I decided I would have some fun this week and go old school and do a Pac-Man nail art design.  I’ve said before I’m no artist so I’m sure you’re nails are going to look really great.

For this nail art I used the following polishes:

• L.A. Colors Art Deco Black
• L.A. Colors Art Deco Baby Pink
• Sally Hanson Mellow Yellow
• N.Y.C. Little Italy (white)
• N.Y.C. Big Apple Red Creme
• N.Y.C. Long Wearing Clear
• some random orange my daughter had

You’ll want to start with the clear coat as a base as always, especially since dark colors like black can stain your nails.  After that dries apply the black polish to the whole nail and let dry.

Next you’ll use the white polish to make the dots and the beginnings of the ghosts.  For the dots I put a small glob of white polish on a piece of paper, dip the tip of a toothpick in it and lightly press it on your nails to make the dots.  You might want to do a couple of test dots on your paper.

Then pick a couple of nails that you want the ghosts on.  Make sure your brush isn’t too loaded with polish you just need a light coat of polish in your ghost shape.  The reason for this step is that it’s difficult to cover black with a color so we’re just giving the colors a nice base to work with.

Once that is dry fill in the ghosts with the different colors.

Now it’s time for Pac-Man I simply loaded the brush with yellow and lightly dropped it on my nail to get a nice circle shape.

While your yellow circle is drying get out the tooth pick again to make the eyes on the ghosts, go back over with the black making a smaller dot of black inside the white.

Now that Pac-Man should be dry take the black polish (the one I used has a small brush) with a small brush paint the triangle mouth.  You may use your small brush to toothpick tip to make his eye.

Finish with a clear coat.
