How to create a Boston terrier puppy accent nail

Friends will pause when they see this Boston terrier puppy and paws nail design. To achieve this look, paint all nails white. Because the Boston terrier puppy will be the accent feature, consider painting four to six additional nails with a paw print design.
Painting the Boston terrier puppy on a middle finger further cements its status as a focal point. Keep the position of the puppy head in mind while drawing it. The pup's face is straight on with its ears pointing toward the top of the hand.

Instructions
1. Dip a drawing brush in Mission Control Over Drive.
2. Draw a semicircle approximately one-third of the way up from the tip of the nail. The semicircle will serve as the head of the Boston terrier.
3. Draw two triangles on top of the semicircle. The triangles will serve as the ears.
4. Draw the shape of an upside-down keyhole in the center of the semicircle. This shape will serve as the white center of the puppy's face.
5. Dip a nail art paint brush in Mission Control Over Drive.
6. Paint the inside of the semicircle, surrounding the sides and bottom of the keyhole shape.
7. Dip a drawing brush in pink Presto nail gel.
8. Paint a pink triangle inside the outline of each dog ear.
9. Dip a drawing brush in Mission Control Overdrive.
10. Trace the lines of the dog ears to enhance the black outlines.
11. Dip a dotting tool in Mission Control Fizz.
12. Place two dots, which will serve as the eyes of the puppy, on the black paint that surrounds the keyhole shape.
13. Dip a drawing brush in Mission Control Overdrive.
14. Draw a small upside-down triangle in the white center of the dog's face. This triangle serves as the nose.
15. Draw a tiny vertical line beneath the nose. Use the bottom of the line to make the puppy's mouth, which should resemble a "J" and a backward "J" beside each other.
16. Dip a dotting tool in Mission Control Overdrive.
17. Dot the whites of the eyes with smaller black dots. Allow the paint to dry.
18. Dip a dotting brush in Mission Control Fizz.
