Superhero Challenge - Ultimate Hero

Hello everyone!
Today I have the last post of the superhero challenge! I'm so sad, I love this challenge so much. Hopefully I'll be invited to join in more challenges like this in the future. The ladies who have taken part with me are all so awesome and their nail art is amazing!! Anyway, I've known for a few weeks what I was going to attempt for this final theme in the challenge. As my villain was based on a childhood cartoon, I wanted my hero to be based on one too and there could only be one trio that it could be...

 

The powerpuff girls!! They were my ultimate heroes when I was younger, I loved them so much and I watched the programme all the time! I could never quite decide who I liked more though, Bubbles or Blossom :P Here's how I interpreted the girls in my nail art...

 I wanted to use each of the girls faces on a nail and then I added a heart on my little finger, not only to show my love for them :P But also because at the end of the show there was a glowing heart type of thing and it reminded me of that :P

I used so many different coloured polishes and paints for these nails. The base for the faces is Sally Hansen Iced Coffee. The base on my little finger is OPI Pink Friday. I used Color Club Almost Famous for Bubbles' hair, and OPI What's With The Cattitude? for her eyes. I used OPI In MY Back Pocket for Blossoms hair and OPI Pink Friday for her eyes. For Buttercups eyes I used Color Club Twiggie. The rest of the colours used are acrylic paints.

I love these nails! When I started this challenge I didn't think I'd be very good compared to the other ladies taking part but I feel like I've come a long way since the start of the challenge. I'm so proud of the things I've created and I will definitely do more challenges like this in the future as they inspire me to try new things :)

I hope you've all enjoyed my posts from the Superhero Challenge :)

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 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 :)
