Disney: Minnie Mouse Nails

3 weeks from today I'll be in Florida!!! I'm so excited, I really can't wait. Today I've created a Disney themed mani using Minnie Mouse as my inspiration.







Minnie Mouse Nails




For this mani you will need:

  • red, white black and pink polish
  • a dotting tool
  • a small nail art brush





Start by painting all of your nails with your red polish. Use two coats so that it's a bright and solid base.





Now, use your dotting tool and your white polish to put dots on 4 of your nails. Don't put any on your ring finger, this is going to be saved for our little Minnie mouse. Try to space your dots out evenly to replicate the Minnie mouse look.





















It's time to create our little friend now, to do this you will need your small nail art brush and your black, white and pink polishes. Start by drawing a black circle on your ring finger nail with two either side for ears.






















The next part is really fiddly so if you don't think you'll be able to do it without messing it up then just leave the ring finger as Mickey Mouse! If you're feeling brave it's time to paint on the bow. Get your pink polish and start with a little dot between the ears, then on either side of the dot paint a triangle to create the bow. When the pink has dried, paint tiny white dots onto it.





















The last step is to paint round the edges of the pink with the black. This will make the pink stand out on the red and will neaten the edges of the bow.





There you have it, Minnie Mouse nails. I'm really happy with how this turned out, especially the little bow on Minnie's head. It is really fiddly but the results are worth it. Now get me on that plane to Florida!!! 3 weeks to go!

The polishes I used in this mani were:

  • Nails Inc. - Luminous Red
  • Boots Natural Collection - Nail Tip Whitener
  • W7 - Matte Black
  • Max Factor Glossfinity - Marshmallow
Have fun with this mani!
