How to Draw a Nail Polish Bottle
Draw a nail polish bottle in 11 easy steps, about 8 minutes. Free, with a printable worksheet.
Each picture adds one red line. Draw that line, then scroll to the next picture. Rub out any dashed helper lines at the end. First up: the little bottle.
Step 1: The little bottle
Low on your paper draw a short fat bottle: flat top, sides that bow out, flat bottom. Round the corners.
Tip It is only a little taller than it is wide, like a thumb.
Step 2: Two big eyes
On the bottle draw 2 big egg eyes, almost touching. Add a black dot and shine in each.
Step 3: Smile and cheeks
Under the eyes draw a U smile from eye to eye. Add a small flat oval cheek beside each end.
Step 4: The neck
On the middle of the bottle's flat top, draw a small short box for the neck.
Step 5: Tall cap
On the neck draw a tall thin cap. Add 2 lines up it and a little heart near the top.
Tip The cap is a little wider than the neck and as tall as the bottle.
Step 6: Shine
Just inside the bottle's top left corner, draw a short curve round the corner for a shine.
Step 7: Sparkles
Draw 3 little sparkles in the air around the cap: 2 on the right and 1 on the left.
Step 8: The table
Start well left of the bottle and draw a straight table line along its bottom, stopping well to the right.
Step 9: Pink polish
Go over your lines, then colour the bottle pink. Leave the eyes and cheeks white.
Step 10: Grey cap
Colour the tall cap grey, leaving the little heart white. Leave the neck white.
Step 11: Red cheeks
Colour the cheeks red, pressing softly. Your nail polish is ready to paint!
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a nail polish bottle, drawn by you.
