Disney Character Nails

This tutorial shows how to create this abstract Disney character design. It features nails that represent Mickey Mouse, Goofy, Donald, Minnie and Pluto :)

1)

For this design you'll need quite a few colours! You'll need: black, red, orange, white, blue, nude, yellow and green. I used (l-r) Barry M #47 Black, Collection #5 Fire Engine, Max Factor #25 Bright Orange, Collection #103 French White, Barry M #306 Blueberry Ice Cream, Barry M #342 Nude and the yellow and green are from a nail art set

2)

The first step is to paint your little finger nail yellow, your middle finger nail white and the remaining three with your nude polish.

3)

For the Pluto nail (little finger), paint one thick black stripe across the base of your nail, then paint a thin black stripe across the centre. Next, take your green varnish and paint a thick french tip across the top of your nail.

4)

For the Minnie Mouse nail (accent nail), first paint a really thick red french tip across the top of your nail, then paint a red stripe across the base of your nail. Then, take your black varnish and paint a slightly thinner stripe below that red one. 

5)

Next, take your white varnish and carefully paint lots of random polka dots on your ride sections to complete Minnie's bow and dress detail.

6)

Now for the Donald Duck nail (middle nail), take your blue shade and paint a thick french tip across the top of your nail. Then paint another blue line across the base of your nail. 

7)

Next, use your yellow shade to paint a thin line across the centre of your nail to represent his beak. Then use your red varnish to paint a short line across the end of your nail to represent his bow tie.

8)

For the Gooofy nail (index finger), first use your green polish to paint a line across the base of your nail to represent his hat. Next, take your orange shade and paint just under 1/2 of the top of your nail for his shirt.

9)

To complete the Goofy nail, simply use your black polish to carefully paint a thin black line underneath your green line to represent his hair line. 

10)

The last part of this design is the Mickey mouse nail: on your thumb nail, use your red varnish to paint the top half of your nail. Next, take your black varnish and paint a brush-width line across the base of your nail.

11)

Finally, use your yellow varnish to paint two ovals in the centre of the red section as his trouser buttons. 

And this is the finished disney character nail art design :)
