Rubber Duck Nails

Hey, guys!

I have another nail art design today. This one is rubber ducks. I think it's super cute and I would definitely wear this! 

What you will need:

1. A base coat - I 'm not sure which one I used because the writing has rubbed off of the bottle, oops!

2. A top coat - (Collection Lasting Colour: 2 Ice Cube)

3. A yellow polish - (Yellow striper)

4. A black polish - (Boudoir Beauty: Black Satin)

5. A dark blue/navy striper

6. An orange polish - (Barry M Gelly Hi-Shine Nail Paint: 317 Satsuma)

7. A light blue polish - (Maybelline Colour Show: 651 Cool Blue)

8. A large dotter

9. A small dotter

10. A tiny dotter

Step 1:

Apply a base coat over the whole nail and allow to dry completely.

Step 2:

Paint the whole nail with a light blue polish until it is opaque.

Allow to dry completely. 

Step 3:

Paint a line of dark blue/navy at the tip with dark blue/navy striper. Fill it in so that the whole tip is dark blue/navy. Make sure it is opaque. 

Allow to dry completely. 

Step 4:

On the left hand side of the nail, (when the nail is upright/the tip is facing the ceiling), paint two large dots with one of top of the other in yellow. 

Move straight on to the next step. 

Step 5: 

On the opposite side of the nail, paint a third yellow dot using a small dotter. This should be slightly higher than where the two larger dots meet. 

Move straight on to the next step.

Step 6:

a) Connect the dot nearest the tip of the nail to the small dot with a curved, yellow line. Using a second curved, yellow line, connect the smaller dot to where the two larger dots meet. 

b) Fill in the duck with yellow polish. 

Allow to dry completely. 

Step 7:

Use the tiny dotter to make a beak. Release pressure as you get further away from the duck to get the shape. Don't do this too long. It should only look like two dots stuck together. 

Move straight on to the next step. 

Step 8:

Use a small dotter with black polish to create the eye. 

Allow the whole nail to dry completely. 

Step 9:

Add a top coat over the whole nail to prevent it from chipping away. 

Allow to dry completely. 

How to wear:

You could wear this design on all of your nails or on just one. 

If you choose to wear it on just one then you can complete steps 1-3 for the rest of the nails. You could have a straight line of dark blue or a wavy line. Like this:

I hope you enjoy this design. If you recreate this look, let me know. 

Also, let me know if you have any requests. I would love to complete them.
