Summer Dragonflies

Today I'll be showing you how to easily recreate a common sighting on a summer evening- the dragonfly. It's placed over a sunset above water. I hope you like it!

You will need:

- Base Coat

- Makeup sponge

- Pink polish

- Yellow polish

- Orange polish

- Red polish

- blue polish

- black polish

- dotting tool

- various-sized beads

Paint your nails with a base coat and cover that with one coat of pink. It doesn't have to be perfect because most of it will be covered by the other colors. Sponge on the yellow polish, leaving only a small portion of pink showing near the base of the nail.

OPI - Sparrow Me the Drama; Sally Hansen - Lightening

Now sponge on the orange polish, leaving a little of the yellow showing.

Sally Hansen - Sun Kissed

Repeat the process with the red polish.

OPI - Cajun Shrimp

Use a dotting tool to paint on the blue polish, making it in the shape of waves.

Sally Hansen - Blue Me Away!

Use your dotting tool and the black polish to create the dragonfly's wings.

Sally Hansen - Black Heart

Place a drop of top coat in the middle of the wings and  place the larger bead.

Use one smaller bead for the head and two for the body, using the top coat to act as the glue again.

And there you have it! Just cover with a top coat to protect the design. The beads will easily come off when soaked in acetone.
