Steps to Create Panda Nail Art

Here is a breakdown of how to create adorable panda nail designs:

  1. Base Coat: Apply your chosen base color for the background of the nail. White is a classic choice to allow the panda features to stand out, but any color can work.

  2. Create the Panda Head:

    • Use a nail art tool or dotting tool to create a circle on the nail using white nail polish. This will form the main part of the panda’s face.

  3. Adding Black Features:

    • Once the white polish is dry, switch to black nail polish.
    • Use the same tool to create two black circles (or ovals) at the top to make the ears.
    • Add two smaller black circles for the eyes. You can use a white dotting tool or a fine brush to create a small white circle within the black eye, this will give the panda a cuter feel.

  4. Cleaning and Detailing:

    • If any mistakes were made, clear them up with nail polish remover.
    • Use a fine-tipped tool to add small white dots within each black eye to give it a cute feel. (According to reference video [0:35-2:38])

  5. Topcoat: Once the design is dry, apply a clear topcoat to seal everything in and make the panda art last longer.
