Steps

  1. 1
    File your nails to give your nails a round shape. This step is completely optional however it will make your nails look cuter.
  2. 2
    With the clear nail polish apply a base coat and allow to dry. This will prevent your nails from yellowing.

    Apply the main colour (white) onto your nails and allow to dry. Depending on the type of nail polish you decide to use you might need to put on another layer or two.

    Make the spots of the cow using a bobby pin. Dip the bobby pin into black nail polish and begin to make blobs on each fingernail except for your thumb.
  5. 5
    Apply light pink nail polish on the tip of your thumb's fingernail. Use the bobby pin again to make the cow's nostrils with black nail polish. Let it dry.

    Use the other end of the toothpick and add 3 white dots to the cow's eyes.
  8. 8
    Apply another clear coat on top to seal in the design so it will last longer and won't chip as easy.
