1. Polish the nail black and allow it to dry. Paint the body and wings using purple. 2. Add pink and turquoise tail feathers to the belly of the bird, alternating the colors. Let dry. 3. Using a detail brush, outline the body of the bird with black paint. Make a black circle for the bird’s eye and add lines to the wings. Let dry. 4. Complete the design by painting a white dot to create a realistic reflection in the hummingbird’s eye. Allow it to dry and apply top coat.
