1. Polish the nail black and allow it to dry. Mix a bit of orange paint into your standard pink paint to create a vibrant fuschia hue and use this to paint the flamingo’s swooping neck and head. Allow the design to dry. 2. Using light pink, add accents on the upper portion of the head and the inner edge of the neck. Paint the beak with white. Allow the design to dry. 3. Paint the eye and the tip of the beak black. Using a detail brush, draw the black mouth. Add a yellow dot of paint in the middle of the eye. 4. Add light pink color wash to lower portion of beak. Using a detail brush, paint light gray accent where beak and eye meet. Paint small black dot over yellow of eye. Allow to dry and add white dot on eye for reflection. Allow to dry, apply top coat.
