"Teddy nails" are a hit for the chilly days
Teddy bears typically remind us of the fall and winter seasons, making this choice a perfect hit. The base of "teddy nails" is a semi-transparent, milky color. The spotlight is on the small brown bears. Thanks to a special technique, they appear very realistic and even offer a 3D effect.
At home, to create these decorations, you can use a dotting tool, which is ideal for making dots and other patterns. You can purchase it at drugstores or online shops.
Moreover, the subtle and "nude" colors of this style will complement everything and are an excellent choice for everyday wear. By choosing this design, be prepared for everyone to rave about it and offer compliments.
"Teddy nails" - how to create them?
Contrary to appearances, creating teddy bear designs doesn't require specialized skills. It's all about the round shapes that you can achieve using the mentioned dotting tool or a regular wooden manicure stick.
As always, start by pushing back and trimming the cuticles. Then buff the nail surface and shape it as desired. Use a cleaner and apply a milky base, curing it under a UV lamp. If one layer isn't enough, feel free to add a second one. Now let's move on to creating the bears. You'll need three colors: brown, white, and black, and a wooden stick with a precise tip. It's best to have three separate sticks, one for each color.
First, dip the stick's tip into the brown polish and make a larger dot. Next, create two smaller dots above, which will serve as ears. Cure under the lamp. Using the white polish and stick, make a white dot at the bottom part for the mouth, and cure. With black polish, make the smallest dots for the nose and eyes, and cure. Finally, coat the entire nail with a clear top coat and place the hands under the lamp. The last step is to wipe the nails with a cleaner and optionally apply oil.
