Arthur Nail Art

Arthur is a show on PBS kids that is based off a series of children's books written by Marc Brown. The show first aired in 1996 and is still going! It is one of the longest running kids shows, only beat out by Sesame Street. Arthur Read is the main character and he is a walking/talking aardvark. (I didn't know that! I thought he was supposed to be a mouse or something...)

Then add a layer of thick topcoat to smooth everything out once it's all dry. :)
