Ladybird Nail Art Guide
Ladybird Nail Art Guide

I don't usually paint insects on my nails (or any animals!) but I randomly decided to try out painting ladybirds because I thought it looked really cute. Plus I wanted to see if I could do it or whether it would be a disaster.
It was actually really easy to do. I was pretty surprised. I am not usually very good at such precise things but I think this design turned out really well.
You could totally paint your nails like this if you were dressing up as a ladybird for a fancy dress party or for Halloween.
I would love to hear what you think of this design? Have you tried anything like this before?
