Meow! Kitty Nail Design

Hello everyone! Today we will be creating a cute kitty design, a kitty that will be playing with a ball of yarn. I really like cute animals from puppies, kitties, pandas, koalas, etc. So I thought it would be fun to make a cute kitty design with all of you. Maybe some of you also share the same love of animals as nail polish, so why not combine the two.

 

 Meow Kitty Cat Design 

Here are the polish and tools used for this kitty design:

 

Base and top coat- CND Stickey Base Coat and Revlon Extra Life No Chip top coat.

Polishes- OPI- Hello Kitty- Look at My Bow!, Sally Hansen- Hard as Nails - No hard feelings (optional color, that I used on my other hand), Sally Hansen- Hard as Nails- Black Heart, and OPI mini- Hawaii- Lost my bikini in Molokini. 

Acrylic paint- black and white

Nail art tools-  two thin detail brushes (one for paint, one for polish), extra large, large and regular size dotting tools.

Other- glass jar with polish remover to clean brushes, and a cup of water to clean off brushes with paint on them.

Let's start this kitty cat nail design, Meow!

    

CND Stickey base coat

Start off with a thin layer of base coat.

 

Kitty on the thumb nail

Kitty head on the thumb nail- 

Once you base coat has dried, we will start off with the kitty on the thumb nail. For this I found it is a little bit easier to draw the outline of the kitty's head with paint first then filling it in.

First with a thin detail brush draw a circle shape, then fill that in. Then make two triangles shapes for her ears. For the kitty's head I did go over it with a black nail polish to make sure the paint does not rub off. Even with top coat over the paint sometimes I find that the paint rubs off near the tip of the nail, that why I put polish over the paint.

On the side you can make a line that curves for her tail, or just have her head showing.

Once kitty's head has dried, you can add her face. With a large dotting tool with white polish make her eyes, then with a thin detail brush with white paint on it draw her nose, mouth and whiskers. For the nose you can go over that with a pink polish, for the eyes take a smaller dotting tool and put a black dot in the middle.

For an add touch you can add a paw print in the corner. With a large dotting tool make two dots that overlap and a small dot on top of those two dots, then make three dots on top for her paw.

Ball of yarn on ring and middle finger nail-

For the rest of this design it will all connect together to have the kitty playing with a ball of yarn.  

On the ring finger nail start off by painting a small ball with white paint and make sure a small piece of string is sticking out of the ball.

On the middle finger nail paint a line with a loop in it for the string.

* For the next step you will need to let the paint dry, you can go to the kitty on the ring finger nail as that dries.

Once your outline for the ball of string has dried, take a purple polish and go over that white line. Then for the ball make a few lines that cross each other.  

Kitty on ring finger nail- 

On the ring finger nail we will make a kitty that is grabbing for the string. With a thin detail brush make a circle for the bottom of her body, then another circle for her head, fill in each part with that black paint. 

For her ears make two triangles on the top of her head, then fill those in. On the side of the kitties face make three lines on each for her whiskers. 

To finish the kitty make one paw that will be grabbing for the string that is on the middle finger nail. Then make a line on the other lower side for her tail, this will extend to the pinky finger nail.

Tail and paw print on the pinky finger nail-    

For the last part of this design we will make the tail and a paw print on the pinky nail.

Take a thin detail brush with black paint on it and make a thick black line for the kitties tail, try to make it line up with the kitty on the ring finger nail.

Then in the corner make a small paw print. Just like before, with a large dotting tool make two dots overlapping each other and a small dot on top of those two dots, then make three dots on top for her paw. 

 

 Kitty Nail Design with Pink Polish

Once your cute kitty design has dried apply a top coat to seal and protect your design.

 

   Kitty Design with Purple Polish on right hand

Don't really care for Pink? Here is another option, purple as the background color. I used a purple polish on my right hand and a pink polish on my left hand. For the kitty on the thumb nail I kept it simple by not adding facial features, and the string I used a pink polish. 

As always you can use what ever colors you would like, you can even change the color of the cat. These are just the two options that I created on my nails. 

Hope all of you enjoyed this cute kitty cat nail design!

See you next time for more nail fun!
