"Teddy nails" are a hit for the chilly days
Teddy bears often remind us of the fall and winter seasons, making this style the perfect choice. The base of "teddy nails" is a semi-transparent, milky colour. The focal point is the small brown bears. Thanks to a special technique, they appear realistic and even give a 3D effect.
At home, to create such decorations, you can use a dotting tool, which is perfect for making dots and other patterns. You can buy it in drugstores or online stores.
Moreover, the subtle and "nude" colours of this style will match everything and are a fantastic choice for everyday wear. By choosing this design, you must be prepared for everyone to rave about it and give you compliments.
"Teddy nails" - how to make them?
Despite appearances, creating teddy bear designs doesn’t require specialized skills. It's all about the round shapes that you can create using the mentioned dotting tool or a simple 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 cleanser to clean the nails 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 making the bears. You'll need three colours: brown, white, and black, and a wooden stick with a precise tip. It's best to have three separate sticks, one for each colour.
First, dip the stick's tip into the brown polish and make a larger dot. Next, create two smaller ones above it for the ears. Cure under the lamp. Now, using white polish, make a white dot at the bottom 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 topcoat and place the hands under the lamp. The last step is to wipe the nails with a cleaner and optionally apply oil.
