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. 

 

Pug Nail Design 

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 and heart design

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!

Woof Woof- Puppy Nail Design

Hello everyone! Today's design was a design that I actually had on my nails last week and wanted to do a post last week, but I was not feeling up to doing one, I was feeling sleepy and my nose was acting weird (not sure if it has been my allergies or what.) Anyways If you like cute animals, then you will really enjoy this weeks post, we will be a creating a cute puppy on our nails.

 

Puppy Dog Nail Design  

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

 

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

Polishes-  OPI- Hello Kitty- My Pal Joey, Finger paints- Tiffany imposter, and Nicole by OPI- That's Just Plain Nuts!

Acrylic paint- black and white.

Nail art tools- large dotting tool and a thin detail brush.

Other- a small glass jar or cup with water in it to clean off your nail art brush.

Let's start this cute puppy nail design, woof woof!

 

 Puppy design on the thumb nail

As always start off by polishing all of your nails with a base coat, my fav is CND Stickey Base, this will help your polish to last longer.  

Once your base coat has dried polish your thumb, middle and pinky finger nail with a light blue polish (I used Finger paints- Tiffany imposter), then on your index and ring finger nail polish that with a darker blue (I used OPI- Hello Kitty- My Pal Joey.)

Once your base colors has dried, we will first make are cute puppy on our thumb nail. Start off by take a brown polish, and with the brush that is already in the bottle make a circle shape in the middle of your thumb nail, by first making a curved line near the tip of the nail, then another one under that, then fill in the circle.

* Let this part dry, and you can go onto another part of the design on the other nails, but for this tutorial we will go on to the next part of the puppy.*

Once your puppies face/ the brown circle has dried we will make his ears. With a small detail brush with black paint on it, make two floppy ear shapes on both sides of the head.

For his eyes take a large dotting tool with black paint and dot two eyes in the middle of his face.

For his nose you can use a dotting tool or just a thin brush, I used a thin brush to make a oval shape for his nose. Under his nose make a curved line and two small lines at each end for his cute little smile. 

For his little paws, just make two ovals under his face. 

Back to his eyes, take a small detail brush with white paint on it and make a small dot in the middle of the two large black dots. 

Now your cute little puppy is done!

Now that we have our cute puppy we will add more to this design with some paw prints, a bone and the word woof.

First we will make a paw print on the index nail. Just take a small detail brush with black paint on it and make a large circle and then with a dotting tool, dot three dots on top of the larger dot for a paw print.

On the pinky finger nail this is basically the same thing, so we will jump to that nail. Take your large dotting tool with black paint on it and make a few dots around the nail (I made 4 dots) then above those dots, make three smaller dots with your smaller end of the dotting tool.  

Back to or on to the next nail the middle finger nail to make your puppy a bone. Take your large dotting tools with white paint on it and make two large dots right next to each other, near the tip of the nail, then a little ways done the nail do the same thing. Then with a thin brush with white paint on it make a line going down the middle to make a bone.

Lastly we will paint the word woof on our ring finger nail. This part can be tricky you just have to keep your hand on a flat surface and try to keep you hand steady. With a thin detail brush with white paint on it going down your nail paint the word woof.

Once you have your puppy nail design the way you like, apply a top coat to seal in your design, to protect your nails and to help your design to last. 

When I had this design on my nails I had many people as me if I have a dog, no I do not but My hubby and I would like to have a puppy one day. I just thought this was a very cute design to do on my nails and to show all of you how this design was done. 

Hope all of you enjoyed this cute puppy nail design!
