Sock Monkey

This design was sent to me by my Aunt.  Thanks Aunt D, they were a big hit at work!!!  I loved the idea of these Sock Monkeys.  The only thing is I wish I had put the eyes farther apart and bought red nail polish for the mouth.  I only had a deep pink but, the over all look worked out.

First: paint entire nail white

Second: use manicure strips to create eye and mouth line

Third: mix white and black polish to create gray if you don't have gray polish.  Then paint eye line

Fourth: paint tips red

Fifth: remove strips while paint is a little wet to avoid smudging

Sixth: when dry, use sharpie to draw monkey face

Seventh: when marker is good and dry cover with top coat
