Olaf, “Frozen”

1) Prep nails for gel polish application\n2) I applied a white gel polish and cured\n  

3) I did a sketch of Olaf in pencil  

4) Then I painted my cute character with a blue gel polish and cured  

5) I applied orange gel polish (the mix of red and yellow) onto his nose and a black one onto his button. Also I painted his teeth and eyes in white gel polish. Cured  

6) In this step I painted the sky. I start with a blue gel polish in the top part of the nail, and then I added a lilac gel polish in the middle, and a pink gel polish in the bottom part. I blended adjoining colors to get smooth gradient effect. Cured  

7) I start to give my painting more realistic look. I shaded him using a dark blue gel polish and highlighted him with a white gel polish. Cured a little (because the layers were thin)  

8) Furthermore, I added dimension to his nose using dark orange (orange plus red) and light orange (orange plus white). I drew his mouth using grey (white plus black) and added one more layer of black onto his button. Also I covered the sky again using the technique described above. Cured  

9) Using black gel paint and a fine detailer brush, I contoured my design and drew pupils, hair, eyebrows, and arms. Then I added hotspots onto his nose, teeth and button. Cured\n10) I covered the nail with a top coat, cured and wiped off the sticky layer\nOlaf nail design is done!\n
