Both Jess and I are highly creative and crafty so we decided it was a good time to try something new. We finally decided on lady bug nail polish and I thought I would share with you today our process.
Please note that this was an experiment for us and as you can see it may not all be perfect but I didn't think that would matter! We just gave it a go anyway and we were quiet happy with the results. I would also love to hear your comments, things you tried differently and I would especially LOVE to see some of your finished results!

Add little black dots for the eyes!
Step 5:

Step 6:
Clean up around your nails... a good and easy way to do this is to use a Q tip dipped in nail polish remover. Carefully run it around the skin near your nails making sure you don't remove any of your hard work on your nails!
Id love to hear how you all went! pictures, comments, advice and tips all welcome!
