Harry Potter

I've gotten a few requests for Harry Potter nails! From friends, facebook and tumblr. SO HERE THEY ARE! I do apologize in advance for the messy nails, because I forgot to clean them off before I took the photo... my bad. But I hope you enjoy!

I did my two hands differently. On my left hand I did the Gryffindor and Slytherin house colours, Harry Potter, the three rings to play a game of quidditch and the Faux. I must say I'm pretty proud of my pheonix, it took me a while to do!

To do Faux, I first outlined him in the red and added yellow and orange feathers. Then I used gold and glitter to make it look like he's flying from the fire! For the background of the rings I used the ombre method to make it look like a moutain view.

On my right hand I did the house colours of Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff, Ron, Hermione and the deathly hallows. I did the easier ones on my right hand because I knew that my left hand isn't the steadiest at drawing.

That's that! I hope you guys enjoy this post! I've got a few little posts this week so keep checking back!

Lots of love,

Peter Pan

This is one of my requests from Tumblr! It was requested by tinymscbx. To be completely honest, I haven't watched Peter Pan in FOREVER, so I had to think about this one for a while.

I started off with Essie Sand Tropez on my thumb and pinky finger, NYC Colour Starry Silver Glitter on my pointer, Essie Mesmorized/Xtreme Wear Black Out on my middle finger, and OPI A-Taupe the Space Needle on my ring finger.

Next I added the details to the nails. On my thumb I drew Captain Hooks hook. I kept the sparkles plain on my pointer finger to resemble Tinkerbell's fairy dust. I started to draw the moon on my middle finger, and on my pinky, I drew Peter Pan's iconic hat.

For my ring finger, I decided to do alligator print. To do this I took a loofah from my shower and stuck my finger in it. Then I took a make up sponge and blotted on OPI Don't Mess With OPI and Sally Hansen HD 04. When you take the loofah off, you get a alligator pattern!

To finish off, I outlined the drawings in black and added the black outlines on my middle finger. Topped it off with my favourite top coat and voila!

There you have it! Hope this post is all you hoped for tinymscbx! Thanks for reading!

Sunflowers

Hey guys! I'm so sorry about not posting lately, I'm kinda in a nail rut :/ With everyone giving me ideas, it's really just getting off my butt to do them! This is a request from my wonderful bestie Laura!

I started off with one of my newest colours Sinful Colours Pink Forever. This definitely has to be my new favourite pink. It's bright, girly and oh so perfect.

To start the petals of the sunflower I took OPI The "It" Colour and a toothpick. Sunflowers are huge flowers with giant petals, so you don't have to worry about  being delicate or careful. Plus you're going to be adding another colour on top!

I decided to create definition between the rows of petals by using two different yellows. The next colour I used was NYC Lexington Yellow.

Finishing off the petals, I added two more rows, one of each colour. Now your nails might start looking a little messy, but I promise the finished product looks great!

For the center of the sunflower I started off with OPI A-Taupe the Space Needle. For this I used a q-tip to apply the colour onto my nails.

To finish off I added detail of Essie Sand Tropez and Stripe Rite black. Sealed it with a top coat and voila! You've got yourself some sunflower fingers :)

I promise I'll have more posts up soon! With thanksgiving, halloween and christmas around the corner there will definitely be a lot of themed posts. But don't forget I'm always taking requests.

Thanks for reading!

You've Got a Friend In Me

To be completely honest I'm a huge pixar junkie... and thanks to arystar on Tumblr, I finally got around to doing pixar nails!

I started off with OPI The "It" Colour, OPI Alpine Snow, Xtreme Wear Gun Metal and OPI Big Apple Red on my left hand.

On my right hand I used OPI Alpine Snow, Revlon Garden, Rimmel London Grey Scale, and Essie Mesmorized.

On my left hand I did the Pixar ball, Monsters Inc., Cars, Wall-e and The Incredibles. These are all the symbols from the movie, I looked at a photo and copied them!

And for my right hand I put the Pixar mascot on my thumb, followed by A Bug's Life, Up, Finding Nemo and Toy Story.

*I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THE IMAGES ON MY NAILS*

Just throwing that in as a safety precaution!

My favourite Pixar movie is definitely Finding Nemo, but being honest I love them all too much! I hope this is a good template for you guys for your nails!

Thanks for reading.

Lots of love,
