8 Spooky Nights Challenge - Vampires

Hello everyone!

Today I have another post from the 8 spooky nights nail art challenge! Today's theme was vampires and I was so excited for this one. Originally I was going to do anti-vampire nail art with stakes and garlic and things that vampires don't like :P Then I changed my mind and decided to challenge myself, here's what I came up with...

For these nails I used two coats of Sally Hansen Iced Coffee for the base on all nails, I then used red, black and white acrylic paints to create the lips and teeth using a small nail art brush. These took me around an hour to create, I was getting so frustrated with the lips and teeth :P

Whenever I think of vampires I always think of their teeth first so this is what I decided to base my nail art on. I honestly thought these would turn out terrible because there's so much detail in not much space. I'm actually really pleased with how they turned out though! :) 

What do you guys think?

Summer Fun Challenge - The Big Blue

Hello everyone :)

I have some more nail art for you today for the Summer Fun Challenge, based on The Big Blue! As soon as I saw this theme I  had an idea for what I wanted to do and thankfully it turned out exactly as I wanted it to, so here it is...

 

Oh Hey, it's an octopus! With a smiley face!! ;)  Isn't he awesome? I was originally going to do a variety of sea creatures but I've always been a big fan of octopi so I thought this would be a good chance to use an octopus in my nail art :)

I used two coats of Jesse's Girl Girls Night Out for the base of all of my nails. I then used acrylic paints to create the octopus and his tentacles. I then dabbed on one coat of Wet N Wild Hallucinate for the sparkles in the background :)

I love these nails so much! I am never taking them off! Okay, maybe that's a lie but still.. they're just so cute! I've had a few people comment on them already, which makes me happy :) What do you guys think?

Have you done any nail art based on sea creatures? Let me know in the comments :)

Superhero Challenge - Disney Hero

Hello everyone :)
Todays post is another Superhero challenge post! This time it's all about a Disney Hero! This turned out harder to choose than the other posts I've done as their are so many hero's I wanted to do! However, I can't draw very well especially on nails so I wanted something cute but quite simple too, here's who I settled on...

 

Marie from Aristocats! She's super cute and pink and everything I love about Disney! I know she's not typically a hero but she is classed as one by Disney, and I really wanted to include an animal :P It was a tie between Marie and Pocahontas, however Pocahontas is very difficult to do much with so I chose Marie :) here's what I did...

 I decided that I would use different parts of Marie on each nail to reflect her and her personality. On my forefinger, I focused on the bow in her hair. For my middle finger I did the bow she wears a round her neck. I left my ring finger blank as Marie is very into pink and I wanted this to come across. On my little finger I used Marie's tail, it s so fluffy!! :)

 

For these nails I used two coats of Barry M Pink Silver Glitter for the base on all my nails. This polish is new and it applies beautifully, However, as you can see on my ring finger, you can still see a little bit of nail line so three coats would be better than two. The pink used on Marie's bows is OPI Pink Friday and the other colours are acrylic paints.

I'm so pleased with how these turned out! They're super cute and girly and very me. Everyone commented on how well they suited me and my personality :P And everyone could tell they were based on a cat so that proves my drawing skills aren't that bad ;p 

Who would you have chosen as your Disney Hero? Let me know in the comments :)

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 :)
