In this post i will try to create a kiwi as nail design on tip.

Tools/Products/Colours that i used:
* 2 shades of green
* black
* white (for details + as background on the tip)
* brown
* gel glue
* base coat
* 2 brushes
* palette (for mixing the colours)

I have the tip ready with the white gel polish, without the top coat, and this is the right moment to start the design.

I put some drops of each colour that i will use on my palette.

# STEP 1

With my bigger brush i draw a half circle, i wiped the brush on the paper and i took a small ammount of base coat and i did some lines from the edges to the center of the kiwi. I did these steps twice for a better result because my colours are transparent, and i put the tip in the lamp for 30 seconds each time.

*2nd layer*

# STEP 2

I mixed the light green with the darker green to create a shade between the two colours. With that green i create a line next to the lighter green, and with base coat i draw lines from the edges to the center.

# STEP 3

I'm doing the same thing with the darker green as well.

*I left some spots without colour so i had to draw that line again*

# STEP 4

Then i took the brown with my bigger brush and i draw a line next to the darker green, and with my liner brush i tried to create the "hair" of the kiwi.

# STEP 5-6

I mixed some black with base coat and i created the shades of the seeds and then only with black gel polish i created those seeds.

# STEP 7

Then i created in the corner the center of the kiwi with white gel polish. I draw some lines to connect the center with the rest of it.

# STEP 8

Then i applied top coat.

*At this point it was ready but i wanted to make an extra step.*

# STEP 9 

I put some gel glue on my palette and with my liner brush i put some of the glue only on the seeds to make them look 3D.

Tips:
1) The brushes have to be cleaned up when you switching colours.
2) After every step, i put the tip into the lamp for 30 seconds, except of the top coat and the gel glue which they needed 60 seconds in the LED lamp.
3) You can create the kiwi in the center like it is cutted in the half.
4) This design requires neon yellow but i don't have at the moment.
5) The background has to be white.
