Tutorial: Tuxedo Manicure

"I am wearing a gown but my nails are wearing tuxedos," Zooey Deschanel tweeted. Spotted on her nails during the 2012 Golden Globes, this design can be easily done at home. Very suitable for short nails too!

My nails. FORGOT ABOUT THEM BOWS!
Steps:
1. Paint your entire nail a colour which you want the "shirt" to be. I chose a baby pink but Zooey's was a solid white.
2. Paint the tips of your nails black. Use manicure strips or cellophane tape to guide you for extra precision.
3. To draw the bow, use a dotting tool/toothpick/sewing pin to draw a small dot. Draw two bigger dots on both sides of the small dot, forming a bow like shape.
4. Add 3 dots to resemble the buttons.
5. (Optional) Paint a layer of duo-chromatic glitter.
6. Seal in with a top coat and voilà!

Polishes used:
Pink polish and the glitter polish by Sasa
Base coat and top coat by Faceshop

Even nails need to suit up! ;)
