Panda Butt, What What! Panda Bear Design

Hello everyone! Today we have a fun and funny nail design that we will be creating, called panda butt! This design is inspired by Elleandish, or Janelle's panda butt design that she did a while ago, this is just inspired by, as always I try and make the design my own. Anyways I thought this would be a cute and a fun way of putting panda bears on your nails.

The nail polish and tools used for this design will be right next to the images as we go.

The skill level for this panda bear nail design is:

  

Beginners to Intermediate 

The panda bear face and the panda bear bottom on the thumb and index finger nail are for the most part simple to create, with just the brush that comes in the polish bottle and simple stokes with a nail art brush. The panda bear on the ring finger can be a little more tricky, due to the small details.

Let's start this cute panda butt nail design:

CND Stickey Base

1. Start off with a thin layer of base coat to protect your nails.

2. Paint all of your nails with a light blue, I choose a subtle light blue holographic polish.

 

China glaze- white on white

3. We will start off with the Panda Bear face on the thumb nail. Take a white polish and the brush that is in the bottle, just swipe it in the middle of the nail, then fill in the bottom half near the tip of the nail.

4. After we have the panda's face we will make his cute little ears. Take your thin liner brush with black paint on it and make to half circles at the top of the head.

5. Next we will start to make the panda's facial features. Take your thin detail brush with black paint on it, first make a small oval in the middle of the face for the noise, then swipe two lines on each side for the eyes then make them more oval shape, then draw a line under the nose and two curved lines attached to that for his smile.

6. After your panda face has dried, which doesn't take much time at all with the paint. We need to add the white part of his eyes. You can do this with a dotting tool or like me a brush. Take your clean thin detail brush with white paint and make two small dots at the top of the ovals.

7. Now on to the panda butt on the index nail. The panda body I forgot to take a photo of before hand, This can be done around the same time that you do the panda head, you just take the brush that came in the polish and swipe the brush across the top, then fill the bottom half in, pretty much the same thing as the panda head. After that has dried we will make the ears, with a clean thin detail brush with black paint on it make two half circles on top of the panda's head.

8. Next we will make his cute little tail. You can also make this with a dotting tool or a brush. We will be doing this with a brush, take your clean liner brush with black paint on it and make a small oval near your nail tip.

9. To finish off your cute panda butt, we will make the black strip or the black part on the panda's back. Once again take your thin liner brush with black paint on it and make two lines in the middle of your nail, then fill that in with black or you can just make one thick black line.

10. Next we will be make the small panda bear on the ring finger nail, if this is a little bit to hard I have another option at the end that you can try. For the panda bear, take your clean liner brush with white paint on it and make a slightly larger circle, then a smaller one on the bottom of that one.

11. After the white paint has dried we will make his cute paws. Take your clean detail brush with black paint on it and make two ovals at the bottom of his body, then two more ovals for his arms.

12. Now on to his little ears and nose. Once again take your thin detail brush with black paint on it , make two half circles at the top of his head, and then a oval in the middle of his head for his nose. 

 Final Panda Bear Nail Design 

13. To finish off your small panda swipe two lines on his head for his eyes. For the little panda I did not put any pupils, I thought it looked cute as it is, along with no mouth. Also for an added touch of cuteness you can add some bamboo for your panda to eat. Just take some green paint on a detail brush and make a small line in the middle of his paws, and two smaller lines from that line.

An optional touch of detail to your panda face, on the thumb nail is to add some pink checks to it. If you choose to do this take a large dotting tool with light pink polish on it, and make two dots on the sides of your panda's face.

If you are having trouble making the small panda on the ring finger here is another option, you can make a small heart, with a small liner brush dipped into red paint, make a point then start to make to curved lines to form a heart shape, this can also be done with a dotting tool as well.

As always you want to keep all of your hard work on your nails for a while, so you will need to apply a top coat to protect your nails. I used Revlon Extra Life No Chip top coat.
