I decided on teddy bears because who doesn't love a cute cuddly teddy? I started off with a neural base on my index, middle, and ring finger, and two coats of Caramel Matte Nail Paint from Barry M on my thumb and little finger. Then using Mushroom from Barry M I painted a large circle on the tip of my middle finger nail. Using a dotting tool, I added a two large dots for ears. Then on the nails either side I added paw print shapes by adding one large circle and four small dots. Once this had all dried I added in some details on the teddy's ears and paws with Caramel, and used Espresso, also from the Matte Nail Paints from Barry M to add a nose and two eyes. Finally, I added some polka dots with Mushroom on to my thumb and little finger.
To add a glossy finish to my nails I added a thick coat of Sally Hansen Insta-Dri, so I didn't smudge my design. I am so impressed with how glossy they look in the photo.
I already have some other ideas for different characters or animals I could try out next, so I am really pleased that I got out of my rut. What do you do if/when this happens to you?
