Hello
there lovely readers!
A
spot of fun randomness with today's nail art....I love finding
inspiration in all things, especially one of my greatest
joys...animated movies!
Browsing through Netflix the other day I came across
one of my favourites & I'm sure a film that is for many others
too...How To Train Your Dragon. I've yet to find anyone of any age
who DOESN'T love this movie & I think we know its mostly down to
the bloomin adorable Toothless.
I
was in the mood for something dark yet fun so I decided to use the
lovely Toothless as my inspiration and created this Toothless Dragon
Tips design!
Haha
different non? But I'm chuffed with how they came out, I certainly did my work colleagues heads in the next day asking them
WHO they thought it was on my nails...& 99% of them got it right!
Currently NOT talking to the 1% who thought it was the rabbit ghost
from Watership Down.... AHEM. O_O
Anyhoos
for my Toothless nails a suitable black was required & rather
than use a plain black polish I reached for this pretty by Illamasqua
called Creator which is filled with teeny silver microglitters giving
it a fun edge & I felt would actually add to the effect of the
dragon like scaly skin.
Using
my black polish & a fine nail art brush I freehanded my Toothless
faces to each nail. To do this start by drawing on a U shape about
3/4 of the way on the centre of the nail.
Then
continuing on from the bottom curve of your U shape, draw 2 lines
either side, downwards to the tips, curving out slightly to create
the face, before filling in.
Add
on 2 little spikes in middle of the U for his horns & then for
the eyes I simply dotted on two white dots, before going over with a
neon green (this makes the neon pop)
Final
step is adding on 2 thin dragon pupils on to your eyes with a spot of
black polish & a fine brush before finishing with topcoat...Hello
Toothless!
Hope
you liked, now thinking of other animated characters I can bring to
life on my nails....Thanks as always for stopping by darklings!
Lotsa love to ya!
