Step 3:

With a large dotting tool, take a bit of white and dot two eyes on the half circle. After that, take a smaller dotting tool and, with a little bit of black polish, make the two pupils. Be careful of the placement of the eyes and use a picture for reference if needed.

Using the same black polish and dotting tool, make a thin nose underneath the eyes.

Step 4:

Now, moving on to the other accent nail, paint another half circle, using the white polish (you may need 2 coats to make it opaque). Add two dots above that with a large dotting tool for the eyes.

Step 5:

Using the small dotting tool, add the pupils and nose in black. With the grey color, add two lines of small caret-like symbols (^) on the first half of the white circle. Once it dries, add a top coat if you’d like. And there you have it: an adorable Totoro-inspired mani!
