Mini Tux Mani - A recreation of Zooey Deschanel's Golden Globes nails

Last week at the Golden Globes, Zooey Deschanel not only rocked a beautiful Prada dress, but her nail art also received due attention! Sporting mini tuxedoes on her nails, Twitter was awash with pictures of the little beauties. So, I did what any budding nail artist would do, and recreate them. They're super easy to do- just follow my pictures:-

You will need:-



A matte white nail varnish and a black nail art pen.



Step 1)
Paint your nails a matte white lacquer (I used Barry M Matte white, and did three coats to achieve full opacity)

Step 2)
Using the brush part of your nail art pen, paint a thin curved black nail tip, as you would with a French manicure.

Step 3)
Using the dotting tip, do two- three dots. These are the 'buttons' of the tuxedo shirt.

Step 4)
Now to make the 'bow ties'. The easiest way to do this is to draw a figure of eight with the dotting part of your nail art pen, and then to colour it in.

Then, finish with a shiny top coat once the details are dry!
