I found Nemo!


An homage to the master of hide and seek.


Shark bait hoo ha ha



You will need:

White polish - Face of Australia Cool Cotton
Neon orange polish - O.P.I. Juice Bar Hopping
Black polish - Sally Hansen Black Out
Base coat - Revlon Quick Dry Base Coat
Top coat - Seche Vite
Striping brush
Dotting tools



Start with a base coat and then paint your nails 2 coats of an opaque white polish.



Apply your orange polish until opaque and give it time to dry



Take your white polish on a striping brush and create several thick white stripes across each nail. Apply 2 coats of the white to ensure it is bright and the orange doesn't bleed through. Check out some clown fish photos for striping references



Take your black polish and a striping brush and thinly outline them 




On your index finger we are going to create his face

Create a white stripe in a "C" shape around the nail

Add 2 large white dots for the eyes with a smaller orange dot in each eye and then 2 small black dots for the pupils

For his smile draw a curved white line with a smaller curved black line underneath



Leave a decent amount of time for the black details to dry so all your hard work isn't smudged



Finish with a nice dollop of top coat and glide the brush over the nail, don't drag!






Just keep swimming just keep swimming...
