Supplies
- China Glaze's Liquid Leather
- Spa Ritual's Joy
- Orly's White Tips (not pictured)
- small paint brush
- nail tip stickers
Directions
Step 1: Base
Start with a nude base coat. We used one that has a subtle sparkle.
Step 2: Second coat
Take one of the rounded nail tip stickers and place across the top part of your thumbnail. Paint the bottom part of your nail black and peel off the sticker.
Step 3: Get catty
Using the small paintbrush, paint two triangular ears.
Step 4: Face on
Once the black polish is dry, add the face details with white polish and the small paint brush.
Step 5: Tips
Place a nail tip sticker near the tip of the rest of your nails and paint black. Remove the sticker, and wait for everything to dry.
Step 6: Top coat
Finish with clear top coat.
