Cutesy Animal Print Nail Art for Extra Short Nails

Hello folks!

As you'll know I've been doing nail art for short nails more so that people with short nails can also enjoy flaunting their pretty nails.
I concentrate on how to make these short nails appear longer with nail art.

But recently a lot of people have been asking me to do some designs for 'Extra' short nails. So I tried creating one for you guys!

Here it is!

I know my nails don't qualify to the 'Extra Short Nails' category! However, I tried to cut them as much as I can to make them seem short. :D

So now talking about the design, you don't need any special tools to create this one.

I have used 2 nail art pens, one of which is a beautiful teal shade and the other one being black. If you don't have nail art pens just pick a toothpick for dotting.

For the base coat I have used a shade, #213 from Maybelline Newyork Color Show range called 'Fiesty Fuschia'.

Apply two coats of base coat and let it dry. Then pick some teal polish with the toothpick and start dotting. You don't have to do the perfect round dots for this, just add some messy dots here and there. Remember not to crowd the nail with too many dots. Less is more here.

Let it dry. Once the messy dots are dry, take some black polish and apply it on the borders of the teal dots. Don't cover the border completely as that won't give you the animal print look. Draw broken borders to finish the design and let it dry.
Once the design is dry, secure it with a coat of clear polish and voilĂ ! your cutesy animal print nails are ready to flaunt!

Hope you enjoyed reading the post and will try this design yourself! :)

Have a great weekend! xoxo
