Ant-Man and The Wasp Easy DIY Manicure

Ant-Man and The Wasp is one of my absolute favorite Marvel movies!  I was so thrilled to go to Disney Studios for the blogger event that I wanted to add some fun touches to my outfit that day.  I came up with my own version of an Ant-Man and The Wasp Easy DIY manicure.

To get this Ant-Man and the Wasp Easy DIY manicure look:

Next, apply two coats of red nail polish.Ant-Man and The Wasp Easy DIY Manicure Red Nails

Step 3:

Place three round black nail gems in a straight line to the fourth finger nail of each hand while nails are still wet.Ant-Man and The Wasp Manicure- picking up black nail gem with toothpickAnt-Man and The Wasp Easy DIY Manicure-Placing black nail gem on nailBe sure to press the gems firmly into the wet polish.  These gems will later become the ants in your Ant-Man and The Wasp Easy DIY Manicure.

TIP: Wet the end of a toothpick, then touch it to the gem.  Using a toothpick will make it easy to pick up the gem and apply it to the nail.Ant-Man and The Wasp Manicure- picking up black nail gem with toothpickAnt-Man and The Wasp Easy DIY Manicure-Gem stuck to wet end of toothpick

Step 4:

Apply four tear-shaped nail gems in a wasp wing design on the index fingers of both hands.  I had to use tweezers to pick up and place these gems because they were relatively large.  Again, make sure that the nail polish is still wet when applying the nail gems.  This nail design will represent the wings of The Wasp.Ant-Man and The Wasp Manicure-Picking up nail gem with tweezersAnt-Man and The Wasp Easy DIY Manicure-Placing gem on nailAnt-Man and The Wasp Easy DIY Manicure-Wasp wing design on nail made with nail gems

TIP: If the polish is already dry, apply a dab of clear polish on the spot that you want to stick your nail gem.

Step 5:

Make sure that nails are dry.  Take a dotting tool or bobby pin and apply a strip of gold dots to the third finger of each hand.Ant-Man and The Wasp Easy DIY Manicure-Dotting tool being used to paint gold dots on nailThis gold strip will tie in the whole yellow/gold and red theme of the movie for your Ant-Man and The Wasp Easy DIY manicure.  You can definitely use yellow nail polish instead of gold.  However, I used gold because I wanted my nail design to be a little more subtle.

Step 6:

Draw six legs and some antennae on each ant.  Ant-Man has to have those ants on call!Ant-Man and The Wasp Easy DIY Manicure-dipping nail art brush in black nail polishAnt-Man and The Wasp Easy DIY Manicure-painting legs on "ant."Ant-Man and The Wasp Easy DIY Manicure-Ant nail art design
