Hello there lovely readers!
You know how much I adore all things
Disney with a childhood being brought up watching all the classics &
basically wanting to be Princess Jasmine when I grew up. To me Disney
is just a symbol of pure happiness & joy & gosh darn it you
can be sure I'll be forcing Disney on my own children one day like
there's no tomorrow! ;) Today I was inspired by Disney's very own
little diva for some Minnie Mouse nails...
It didn't actually turn out QUITE how
I'd hoped, as I experienced some lovely colour running & not to
mention the pretty disastrous free handing but I still went with it
anyhoos!
For the base I applied this nameless
London Girl polish, which I stumbled across whilst browsing through
Shepherds Bush Market selling for a magnificent 60p each & I
couldn't resist picking up a few...or 6. This little un is a pretty
red toned fuschia pink that oh so reminded me of that little mouse so
seeing as it doesn't have a name lets just call it Minnie Pink! Not
bad at all for 60p, it applied well in two coats & dried quickly
too.
I decided to do alternate nails with
polka dots & little mouses using a white polish from Claire's &
a hair pin. Well, it was SUPPOSED to be white until it magically
turned pale pink once it came into contact with the London Girl Minnie Pink! Not
sure which polish was to blame for that little twist but I
actually didn't mind so much ;)
Doing the little mouses is super easy,
I used this technique when doing my Lady Gaga Paparazzi mani, just
use the hair pin dipped in polish to place 3 dots on to the nail, 1
for the face & the other 2 on top for the ears :)
For the accent nail I went for an all
white base with a little Minnie peeking out from the corner that I
attempted to free hand....badly & which I had hoped to hide slightly
with some strategically placed heart shaped pink stones for the bow.
Errr...did it work? ;)
Finishing with topcoat to seal it all &
Minnie Mouse inspired mani le fini! I definitely want to try some
more Disney themed nails, any ideas? Hope you liked the little Minnie
Mouse Monday pick me up mani dolls! Thanks for reading!
Lotsa love to ya!
Really cute - love the hearts for the bow too :) x
ReplyDeleteAwww thanks so much sweety! Haha was hoping that the rhinestone bows would hide my abysmal free handing there! ;) xoxo
DeleteI always wanted to be Jasmine too! She was the most beautiful of all the pricesses and her best friend was a TIGER! Life doesn't get better than that! These nails are TOO cute, i love the lil mice and the bow is the perfect touch <3 xx
