Lady Bug Nail Art
Do It Yourself
I love lady bugs so when I saw Sally Hansen's Nail Art Pens I knew my wish to have cute lady bugs on my fingers tips was actually in reach.
If you want to do it yourself you will need:
- Base coat
- Red nail polish
- Sally Hansen Nail Art Pen in black
- Top coat (essential)

Before You Begin
Apply a base coat to your nails followed by one or two coats of red nail polish. Let them dry completely before beginning nail art. I like to let them cure for a day. Then it becomes two small projects instead of one long one.
Making Nail Art Easier
I highly recommend giving Sally Hansen's nail art pen a try. They are a convenient no mess way of decorating your nails.
TIPS:
- Practice drawing straight lines with a pen on paper with your non-dominant hand before starting.
- Decorate your dominate hand first!
Step One: Draw a thin line (ladybug at rest) or a narrow triangle (wings spread).

Step Two: Add head to tip of nail.
Step Three: Add spots! Don't over do it. Two to eight spots per nail.
Make It Longer Lasting
Always cover your nail art with a clear top coat. This prevents your art from chipping or washing away (Sally Hansen nail art pens are water soluble).
