Sunny toes 1. For this design you will need one light and one dark nail polish color. Choose yellow, white or orange for a sun shape. Any dark nail polish will work well for background. 2. After a clear base apply 1-2 coats of dark nail polish. Let it dry thoroughly. 3. Take your lighter polish and draw a half circle. You might need to add a second layer. Draw sun rays by adding smaller dots around the sun and then shaping them into the ovals. Cute and fun at the same time! |
