Trolls nail art

Trolls By Georgina Duffy9

Step by Step

Character art enthusiast, Georgina Duffy, has created this glittery Trolls nail art design, inspired by the character Tiny Diamond.

Step 1
Begin by using a grey gel polish shade to paint they outline for Trolls character, Tiny Diamond, and fill. Do not cure. Sprinkle a silver glitter over the shape - an iridescent silver is best, as it will make him sparkle and shine! Cure.
Step 2
Dust off any loose glitter. Use a clear shade - or builder gel - to seal the glitter and create a smooth surface. Cure, then wipe away the inhibition layer.
Step 3
Using a lighter grey shade, paint a Troll-like hair style. While uncured, use a liner brush to brush white through the hair to create a softer look and add depth. Cure.
Step 4
Begin to add details using gel paints such as white for the eyes, the tooth and the earrings. I added a sparkle glare star to the earring for extra effect. Cure, then add blue to his eyes, black for his eyebrows and inside his mouth. Cure.
Step 5
Using a glass yellow gel polish, paint on the sunglasses, flash cure, add the nose and then fully cure.
Step 6
Frame the sunglasses and complete the outline of Tiny Diamond to make him pop. Add a light blue background and add top coat in your choice of shiny or matte.
