I have been inspired by the insanely adorable and talented cutepolish. I watched her panda bear tutorial and suddenly realized that I didn’t have to interpret the video literally. So I went for a brown bear. Because I love the office, and whenever I think about the word “bear” I think about when Jim is impersonating Dwight and asking him which is better the brown bear or the black bear. Anyways, it took me a good 30 minutes or so to complete all of my nails. I was scared of how my right hand would turn out because I’m not great at keeping my left hand steady, but it turned out SO cute!!
Ahhh… I LOVE THEM!! Makes me feel like a kid again 😀
Here is what I used:
Nails Inc – Lanesborough Place as my base color, OPI Get in the Expresso Lane as the main color of the bear and pupils, OPI A-Taupe the Space Needle as my accent color, and Konad white for the backs of the eyes. I used an extra small gel liner brush (make-up brush) for the shape of his head, just a half circle. Then I used the non brush end of a thin paint brush (the end that you would normally hold, that is round at the end for the bigger dots. The smaller dots I used a bobby pin, because I do not have a dotting tool.
What do you think? Too cutesy for you?
The thing I love most is that you can make other kinds of bears – pink or blue bears for maybe a baby shower mani, turn it into Mickey Mouse, a bunny, whatever floats your boat!
Also, now that I know I can use all these other objects for dotting tools my brain is going nuts. This is going to be so much fun!
Have fun painting! xoxo
You can have it all. 
Adorable! I always plan on trying to do nail art but then I get too impatient to try it. These look so good!

ah thank you! I can’t believe they were pretty easy to do – and I didn’t need any fancy tools to do it!

It’s lovely! I love them! So sweety! This kind of painting is just a little too cutesy to wear at work, but in holidays, why not! Congratulations, it’s a good design!
