Garfield nail art by Simply Rins
I have three (3) accent nails again for this design. I painted Garfield, Jon, and Odie on 3 nails and left the others in plain colors. I also went a little crazy by painting different colors on each hand. I really like how this mani turned out.
This is how the base colors look bare:
This is 2 coats each. Essie Splash of Grenadine on my thumb, pointer, and pinky fingernails, OPI The It Color on my middle finger, and OPI Suzi Says Feng Shui.
My right hand is dominantly painted with OPI The It Color with only the ring finger in OPI Do You Lilac. These were polished with 2 coats each.
I intended this Garfield nail design to look dainty so I chose pastel colors. Anyway, Garfield is the second cartoon character that I memorized to draw when I was still a kid. Snoopy was the first.
No, there is no meaning why I painted Garfield on my middle finger. *grin* But I made sure that Garfield would appear fat on this nail art. Look! his face can't fit into my nail! I saw it fit that Jon be as close to Garfield as possible. He needs to keep an eye on our famous chubby cat.
Odie monopolizes my right hand. He needs all the space for him to run around like a crazy dog.
Odie on top!
Here's a little something to look forward to. Starting next month, I'll be featuring at least 2 Christmas nail art every week. I will try to post 1 more nail art design before November ends. I've also received a few nail art requests that I'll probably be able to do by next year. I promise! :)
I hope you liked my Garfield nail art! Tutorial will be featured on a separate post.

ReplyDeleteThose are great! How do you get them so neat? Do you use nail art pens or polish on a brush?

ReplyDeleteThanks a lot for your lovely comments girls! :)
ReplyDeleteTo Sammersaurus, I use a brush for everything because I don't have a nail art pen. All outlines were painted using acrylic paint.
I've received a few requests already on how I do these nail art designs. You may refer to my previous tutorials that actually have personal tips.

I'm currently out of town for the weekend but I promise to do a tutorial post for the Garfield nail art that would include how I do the outlines. :)
