Start off with a base coat to help the nail polish stick and to protect your nails. Then paint all of your nails except for your ring finger in a turquoise polish. I used Barry M Gelly Hi-Shine nail paint in Greenberry.
Next paint your ring finger in a green colour. I used L.A Colours color craze nail polish in Palm Tree, but as this was too dark of a green I mixed it with a little white to make it lighter. (I know this polish looks the same as the others but that's just the way the flash made it look)
Next use a light purple nail polish to create Sully's spots. I used an old nail polish CoverGirl Nailslicks in Tornado. You can either paint the polish on using the brush provided, or for a more precise option, use a large dotting tool. Be aware that if you use a dotting tool, depending on how thick the polish is applied, it could take a while to dry.
For Mike's face, use a white nail art pen to draw a large circle onto the nail, and then colour it in. To make it a little neater looking, use a black nail art pen to draw a neat line around the eye. I used Barry M nail art pens. You could also use a large dotting tool with white polish and outline it with a striper if you don't have nail art pens.
Use a smaller dotting tool, and add a splodge of blue or green polish for his Iris. (Mike actually has green eyes, but I put blue polish on before I realised what colour they were)
Use the nail art pen to draw a small circle for the pupil. Draw a smile in any shape you want and use the white nail art pen to dot teeth along the top and bottom of his mouth.
Add a top coat to the design to help blend all the different layers together and to help protect the polish, and you are done.

And there you have it, an easy and fun Monsters Inc nail art design. For an added wow factor, you could put some fur effect dust onto Sully's spots. Makeup Academy Fuzzy Fluff Fur-Effect nails would be great for this.
