My sister thought of the idea, so I copied her, but she doesn't have a blog, so can't credit her (yet). I used a greenish gray instead of just gray, and I really liked that the green-ness made the color a bit lighter and looked better with my skin tone :)
The hardest part would have to be the eyes, I think, because when I have to do a lot of precise dots, my hand starts shaking! Plus the eyes can't be too close or too far! Anyhow, hope you like this design and try it out ^~^.

Pond Themed Nails: Frogs and Flies and Snails and Dragonflies!
Apple's nails!! Usually, only warm colors like pink, orange, nude, etc look good with her skin tone, but we found that this blue looked adorable on her! We started off the idea with just a frog, then a fly as food, then snails, and the dragonfly just came out randomly. Anyhow, this design was super fun!
Pinky: Dragonfly! I used a dark blue and small sized dotter to make the body, then a slightly thicker striping brush and used four strokes for the wings.
Ring: Just some moss :) Simplicity.
Middle: Froggy head made with China Glaze's For Audrey. Next time I want to use one of those pop out eyes that you can stick on for the frog's eye! The kind that when you shake, the black dot moves around yaknow?
Index: tongue wrapping around the fly...
Index and Middle: Snails love :) I remember this was made with Rosy Red for the shell and a dark purple by Revlon for the lines, and then a peach by Revlon that smells like peaches
Ring: more moss
Pinky: Dragonfly
Apple with her nails that coincidentally match her cardigan!! Wish I had her type of skin tone so that I looked as good in that blue :)
BTW CREDITS FOR THAT BLUE TO SERENA MY WIFEY she got it for me when she visited the states :)
Winnie the Pooh Artsy Nails!
This design was SO FUN TO DRAW. Monica, Kelly, and I planned it together, and when we searched up pics, we saw hat some people drew heads, some drew bodies. how cute would it be if we could do both? ;) So here they are, Winnie, Tigger, Eeyore, and Piglet! but sorry guys, no arms legs tails.
The most challenging one would probably be Tigger, because his design is a bit more complicated, and the proportions matter more in his design. Piglet was easy, and Winnie was okay, but be careful! Don't make the triangle nose too big like I did TT.TT
I couldn't fit in Eeyore's tail, but I really wanted to draw a bow for him, so we made it like a little bowtie.
Honeybees on the thumb! complete with dotted paths and flowers for pollen :)
And here's Kelly! With her bright shiny manicure that hopefully dried quickly!
