Happy National Puppy Day! Oh my goodness, my heart is exploding over the adorable-ness of this day! So in honor of our furry friends, we put together a simple mani instructional to help you show your love for man's (more like WOMAN's) best friend!

Supplies:

Nail Polish Remover
Clear base/top coat
Nail polish in 2-4 colors
Nail file
Q-tip with one end defluffed
Piece of plastic

Step By Step Instructions:

Step 1: Clean, cut, and file your nails.

Step 2: Apply a clear base coat.

Step 3: Apply 2-3 coats of your base color. We chose to use a different color for our ring finger, but you can do them all the same, alternating, or add contrast on a different finger, like your pointer or thumb. You could use your school colors if your mascot is something like a Wildcat or Wolf.

Step 4: Using your paintbrush, apply a semicircle of your contrast color to the tip of your nail.

Step 5: Add a blob of your contrast color to your piece of plastic.

Step 6: Using your de-fluffed Q-tip, dip the stick end into the contrast color, then add the toe prints around your semicircle shape. You'll probably be able to make 3-4. You can keep them perfect circles, or drag the stick a little to create an oblong shape. Don't forget you can use different colors on different nails!
