This cute panda nail design is easy to make and will instantly brighten your day. You only need a few items, and it doesn't take too long to master.
Edit Steps
Method One: White, Black, and Pink Design
- Gather your materials.
- Paint your nails with one coat of white. Let dry.
- Add another coat of the white to make sure it's opaque. Let dry.
- Paint two black dots where the eyes should be and let them dry.
- Add two more black dots where the ears will be.
- Take your pink and put a dot right under the eyes. This is the nose.
- Take blue, green, or white and put a dot on both of the eyes so you have a cute little cross eyed panda.
- If you wish you can put a pink dot in each ear.
- Top with a clear coat and you are done!
White and Black Design
- Gather your supplies. You don't want to be searching for nail polish with wet nails! To complete this step, see the list of required supplies under "Things You'll Need" below.
- Start with a base coat to protect your nails. This will keep your nails shiny and helps the polish stay on longer.
- Apply a large circle on the top half of your nails with the white nail polish. Don't worry about messing up - you can clean it with some nail polish remover.
- Be careful to ensure that that the circle dries thoroughly before moving on to the remaining steps.
- Use your dotting tool to create two ears with the black nail polish.
- Add the eyes at the lower half of the large white circle with the black nail polish.
- Add the nose right beneath the eyes.
- After the eyes have dried, add two smaller circles with the white nail polish.
- Make sure everything is dry before proceeding to the next step, otherwise your design might smudge.
- Apply the top coat after the eyes and nose are completely dry. This will protect your nails and the design from chipping. See the introduction image for the final design.
- Finished.

Edit Warnings
