Superhero Challenge - Ultimate Villain

Hello everyone :)

It's the last week of the Superhero challenge! I'm so sad, I love this challenge so much and it's made me push myself in terms of my nail art, I don't want it to end! I might have to create a challenge myself after this ones over ;) Anyway, todays post is based on my ultimate villain! I've been pondering who to choose for this theme since I started this challenge, there's so many villains to choose from! In the end I settled on two villains from my favorite tv show when I was small, these guys were the ultimate villains to me throughout my childhood...

 

That's right Jesse and James, also known as Team Rocket from Pokemon!

These two always showed up to ruin everything in literally every episode and I hated it! So i just had to base my nails on them for this theme, I also wanted to challenge myself as it's the last week so here's what I did...

 I based my nails on Jesse and James themselves and also their uniforms. My fore finger and little finger are the uniform nails, my middle finger is James and my ring finger is Jesse.

For the uniform nails I used OPI Alpine Snow for the base and red acrylic paint for the R. For the character nails I used Sally Hansen Iced Coffee as a base and then used acrylic paints for the features. However, I used Color Club Puccilicious for James' hair :P

I am so pleased with how these turned out! I think this is possibly the best nail art I have ever done and many of my friends took one look at my nails and knew exactly who they were, which makes me feel amazing! :P I'm so glad that I challenged myself with these nails today, I hope you all like them as much as I do!

Also, I thought I'd let you all know that I found out I passed my first year of University today! I got a 2:1 which means I also get my scholarship again next year! Yay!!! :)

Superhero Challenge - Disney Villain

Hello everyone :)
Today I have another post for the Superhero Challenge! This week it's Disney, which makes this post a Disney Villain! I knew exactly who I wanted to use for this post as she terrified me when I was little in my favorite film. I chose Ursula from The Little Mermaid!
Here's the picture I used of her for these nails...

 

Man, she is one scary lady! Her face used to scare the life out of me when I was little and watching this film.

Now onto the nails...

 I tried to follow a design from Polish Art Addiction for these nails but mine didn't turn out as well :P

For these nails I used two coats of Color Club Puccilicious for the base on all nails. I then used Essence Twins Gabriella and Color Club Power Play for the background colour of the tentacles. All other colours are acrylic paints (which I've never used for nail art before!)

 

Overall, these turned out okay. They're not my best but oh well. For my first attempt at using acrylic paints for nail art I'm quite impressed as I thought it would turn out awful :P I'm particularly impressed with the tentacles, the face is another story entirely :P However, practice makes perfect and I will definitely by using paints again in my nail art.

Who is your worst/favorite Disney Villain? Let me know in the comments :)
