Dr. Seuss Nails

When I was in elementary school, we used to participate in Read Across America Day on Dr. Seuss's birthday (March 2).  The whole school would come together in the gym, and we'd all sit on the floor with a book we chose and read to ourselves.  The goal was to increase reading among children, but it was always fun to see people dressed up like the Cat in the Hat.  This week's nail design is in memory of Dr. Seuss!

These are the colors I used:

Start off with a base coat, and then apply two layers of light blue polish.

Across the top right corner of each nail, draw a thin white stripe.

Adjacent to the white stripe, draw a thin red stripe.

On each ring finger, make 3 small red rectangles, one on top of the other, leaving space in between each.

In the spaces between the rectangles, draw 2 white rectangles.  Below the bottom red rectangle, draw a white line that's wider than the stack of rectangles (to be the brim of the hat).

Outline the hat with thin black lines.

Apply a top coat, and you're done!  Mine smudged a little, but it adds to the effect since Dr. Seuss's lines were never exact.

Happy Read Across America Day!
