Tutorial: Black Widow Nail Design!


This is my first attempt at an infographic so please, go easy on me! Ha ha. Here is my black widow themed nail design!



1. What you'll need: Your favorite white polish, a glow-in-the-dark polish (optional), a black acrylic paint, red acrylic paint, a small paintbrush, and a small dish for water.You can use nail polish stripers instead of the acrylic paint or a polish pen also.

2. Start with a white base. If you want to, paint 2 coats of the glow-in-the-dark polish on top.

3. Paint a black line down the center of the nail from the cuticle to the tip. Then paint a line from the cuticle to the corners of your nail in a triangle shape. I painted 2 more on my thumb because there was so much room. Repeat on the thumb, middle, and pinky nails. You could also start at different points on each nail so it isn't such  uniform look.

4. Make a small curved line between the two straight lines (as shown).

5. Continue making those lines until you've got the nail covered.

6. Do the same to the remaining 2 fingers.

7. On the pointer an ring fingers paint a fairly big circle and a small dot to get the spider's body shape.

8. Paint small angular lines to form the legs. Using the red paint make a small X shape on the body of the spider. Fill in the space to form an hourglass shape.

Then you can use a cotton swab or small brush to clean up the edges, paint on a top coat and you're done!
