NOTD: Ladybug

My nails today are supposed to be "watermelon nails". I don't know what happened along the way but after I'm done with it, I think it looks more to me like a ladybug, hence the title. Well, let's get started. I used the bright pink (guava pink) and black and mistletoe green nail polish. I used a crochet hook as a dotting tool and it gave me pretty good dots, much better than using an orange stick I should say. I have fallen in-love with the nail polish corrector pencil that I got from Tamara's giveaway. I'd be broken-hearted if I'll use it up and not get a new one. I'll surely miss the convenience of erasing nail polish smudges on the sides without having to wrap teeny bit of cotton in an orange stick and dipping it in nail polish remover.

Here's how my nail looks like with the base and a single coat of the guava pink nail polish:

And here's a picture of my left hand with the nail polish and three coats of the nail polish:

And here's my nails with the guava pink polish and mistletoe green tip:

And here's the ladybug...

I won't mind if you think it looks like watermelon. LOL! It's what I was trying to come up with anyway. Maybe next time I'll make the black dots look pointed so it really looks more like seeds and not ladybug spots. Hmmmm!!!

@Sugar/Aquaheart/Amynaree - Thank you soooo much for commenting. It was fun and easy to make. It wasn't perfect but I'll try to do it again next time...Maybe you can go ahead and try it too and tell me about your experience.

@Tamara - Yey, I'm glad you think it's watermelon, because it's exactly what I want to achieve. Though looking at it for long brings back images of a ladybug. Haha! I wore it at work (so glad we don't have restrictions for polishes) and the men say it looked like watermelon and the women say it looked like ladybugs. Hahaha! At least it was a conversation starter. And wow thank you sooo much in advance for the nail corrector. It is indeed very very useful. ;-) I love it and I think it's a very unique product.

Oh, it's the white stripe! You need a thin white stripe in between the green and the pink, then it will really look like watermelon nails instead of ladybugs. Still very cute as is though. :)
