Pug Love Nail Design

Hello everyone! Today we will be creating another cute puppy nail design, this time we will be making a pug on our nails, with a paw print and a heart. This design will only be on our thumb and ring finger nail and the other nails will just have the polish with no design on them.

Here are the polishes and nail art tools used for this pug design:

 

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

Nail Polishes- Glam Polish Experiment 626- Nobody gets left behind or forgotten, Glam Polish Experiment 626- I'm sorry I bit you and pulled your hair..., and OPI Hawaii- Do you take Lei away. 

Acrylic paint- white, black, red, blue, yellow.

Nail art tools- thin detail and liner brushes.

Other- small cup of water to clean off nail art brushes. 


Let's start this cute pug love nail design!

Paw print and heart design

As always start off with a thin layer of base coat and let that dry.

Then polish your thumb and ring finger nail with a sea foam green (I used Glam Polish Experiment 626- Nobody gets left behind or forgotten), and then your index, middle and pink nail, polish those nails with a light coral pink (I used Glam Polish Experiment 626- I'm sorry I bit you and pulled your hair...)

Let that dry.

Then for the nail art we will kind of keep the design simple, by just having the design on the thumb and ring finger nails. First we will start off with the paw print and heart on the ring finger nail.

Paw Print

First we will be putting down a white base for our paw print and then we will fill that in. Take a thin detail brush with white paint on it and make a small white circle near the tip of the nail. 

Let that dry and then with a beige polish and the brush that comes in the polish fill in the white circle, you may need to go over that a few times to be fully opaque.

Once that has dried take some pink paint and make three small dots and then a larger dot under those dots for the paw print. 

Heart

Now on to the heart that goes above the paw print, with a small detail brush with red paint on it make a heart shape, and then fill that in with the red paint.

Now on to the adorable pug, we will once again be making a white base for our puppies head, ears, and paws. Take a liner brush with white paint on it and make a large circle in the middle of your nail, you may need to go over this a few time to be opaque. Then make two ear shapes on the sides of your puppies head, and then fill that in with brown paint. 

Once the large circle/ your puppies head is dry fill that in with a beige polish, using the brush that is the the polish, you will also need to go over this one more time so his head will be fully opaque. 

Also if you would like you can outline your puppies head with brown paint, or you can skip this step if it is a little to hard, but I just thought it looked better outlined.

Once the beige polish has dried we will make the face mask part of his face, take a detail brush with brown paint on it and make two circles that connect, their will also be a curved line at the top that will connect the two circles, then where his mouth will be, make another curved line that will also connect. Then fill in this part, making sure to go over this part two times with brown paint. 

Let that dry, and then we will make his facial features. Starting with his eyes make to large black dots and then two smaller white dots in the middle of the black dots.

For his nose make a small oval shape in the middle of his eyes.

For his mouth make two curved lines coming from his nose and then add a small pink line for his tongue. 

Next we need to add his two paws. First make the outline shape for his paws and then fill that in with the beige polish, do this twice. Once that dries make three small pink dots and then a larger dot for his paw prints. Also you may need to re-outline the paws if you polished over the outline.

Once you have your pug design the way you like/love apply a top coat to seal in your design and to help it last. 

I really liked how this design turned out, it turned out to be so cute yet simple. 

Hope all of you enjoyed this pug puppy nail design!
  
See you next time for more nail fun!
