I used:
- 'Collection 2000 Manicure 103 French White'
- 'Maybelline MNY shade 657'
- 'Collection 2000 Nail Care Top Coat'
- A cocktail stick
- 2 printed pictures of bumble bees flying opposite directions
Step 1
Paint your nails white. Don't worry if it is messy, you can clean it up at the end either with a
cotton bud and nail varnish remover or you can peel it off!
Step 2
Paint your nails blue. You will need to do 2 coats on all your fingers except your thumbs (only do one coat on them for now)
Step 3
Paint a second coat of blue on your left thumb. Immediately place the left facing bumble bee on top of the wet nail varnish, slightly to the top left of the nail. Press it down so it lies flat. You may wish to use tweezers for this but long nails work just as well. You will need to keep pressing down parts of it, especially the wings as they won't stick immediately. You may need to get a friend to help you with this! Then repeat for the other thumb but place the bee in the top right, facing to the right.
Step 4
Once the bumble bee is stuck down firmly, paint over it with the top coat to seal it in.
Step 5
Dip the cocktail stick in the white nail varnish. You can dip it straight in the bottle or you can place a small drop on a piece of paper or other surface and dip it in to there. Use the cocktail stick to draw small lines across each nail for the trail left by the bee. Try to line up your fingers as below so that the lines all line up. Don't forget to do a line on your thumb too. You may wish to get a friend to paint the lines on your dominant hand (ie. your right hand if you are right handed and vice versa for lefties) as it can be quite hard. You don't need to do the same trail on both hands, it could be different if you wish.
Step 6
Paint over each nail with the top coat to seal in the design.
Finally, clean up around the nails to make them look neat.
