Description Took this picture last week (they were still drying when the picture was taken), so it's a little old. Enjoy, anyway, and please comment.

Try it!
What you'll need:
- Base/Top/Clear nail polish
- Black nail polish
- White nail polish
- Orange nail polish
- Toothpicks, depending on your skill/dexterity with normal nail polish container brushes (personally, I don't use them)

Let's get started!
1. Apply clear coat.
2. Apply one or two coats of black nail polish.
3. Make a heart with the white nail polish (Because penguins are love! )
4. MAKE SURE YOUR NAILS ARE COMPLETELY DRY BEFORE CONTINUING. Make two black dots for the eyes. Don't have tons of polish on the brush, so the dots don't get too big and blob all over the place.
5. With the orange nail polish, brush excess polish off into the container (so it's a relatively blob-less brush, but there's still paint on it) and just make a line/dot below the heart's dip to make the beak. If it's too line-like, don't worry! The polish naturally rounds itself. No one is going to pay THAT much attention to the shapes, anyway.
6. Continuing with the orange, make a dog roughly at the base of each side of the heart's bottom (more to the outside, depending how far apart the bottoms of your heart are from each other). This is where the toohpicks may come in. After you have made the small dot(s), carefully guide the dot into three little toes. This is the hard part, so BE CAREFUL AND TAKE YOUR TIME.
7. With the white nail polish, brush off the excess polish into the container (like in step 5) and carefully make the white spots within the eye.
8. WHEN APPLYING THE CLEAR/TOP COAT, apply the polish to the white area FIRST, BEFORE you apply it to the other parts. If you don't, the other colors could bleed into your penguins' white bellies and make them look like zombies.

If you try it, please take a picture to show me and/or tell me how it went! Best of luck!
