Flight of the Bumble Bee




I know it's been a long while since my last post but man have I been busy! So this song came up the other day and I couldn't help but use the theme. Now here come the directions:
  1. Start with a clear coat to protect your natural nail, if you haven't noticed I'm kinda a Sally lover so I started with Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure #110 Clear'd For Takeoff.
  2. Then I continued with two coats of a light blue color to simulate the sky, I chose Orly Nail Lacquer #40661 Blue Collar.
  3. I waited for those coats to dry before adding the next layers each time and then I made the clouds in the sky by drying off the tip of a brush as much as I could and stamping the tip on to the nail in little cloud shapes. I used Sally Hansen Teflon Tuff 10 Day Nail Color #17 French White tip. 
  4. After all these coats were dry I felt comfortable moving on to creating the trail of the bee and the bee himself. I started the trail on my pinky finger so to make a well conected line the whole way. They were just very simple dashes made with Kiss Brush-On Nail Art Paint in black. The bee's body started by making two dots one smaller than the other, I used So Easy Stripe Rite Gold Metalic.
  5. Once those were dry I came back in with the black and added stripes legs and other details to the bee to make him cute. 
So until next time Happy Painting!
