notd | buzzing bumble bee

Ooh yeah, alliteration. I saw a tutorial on these nails on bubzbeauty ages ago and thought I'd give them a whirl! Does anyone else feel reminded of Winnie-The-Pooh when looking at this design?
I used two coats of the blue nail polish, then with a black nail art brush I did little dashes across my nails, making different patterns and loop-de-loops on each nail. For the bee, first I outlined a black oval with the black nail art pen, then two shapes above for wings. I then put a blob of yellow nail polish in the big oval, and white nail polish in the two smaller ones. The last step is to add stripes to the main body of the bee, and you're done!
