Breaking Bad is a series I started watching ages ago but I only saw the first few episodes before I was distracted by something else. Well I picked it up again yesterday and have been watching back to back episodes since! A few episodes in to my Sunday afternoon marathon, I decided I had to dedicate some nail art to Walt and Jesse.
The Radioactive and Biohazard symbols don't fit perfectly in to the theme but when I posted these yellow nails way back when, someone said they looked like Breaking Bad Nails. So I thought I'd slip them in there today.
I used BYS Fern as the base colour on my first and middle fingers, then painted on the frame and lettering with white acrylic paint and a striping brush (pictured).
I painted a base of Barry M White on to all the other nails before adding Collection 2000 Sherbet Lemons for the yellow and H+M New Moon for the 'crystals' (unfortunately I don't have a blue flakie!). The black details are acrylic paint, again with the striping brush.
If you're wondering what the nonsense on my ring finger is, it's the 2D structure of Methamphetamine according to Wikipedia, so if there are any chemists reading and I got it wrong, go easy on me!

ReplyDeleteI can't stand the chemistry, but your nails... wow! :D
ReplyDeleteOmg this is pure awesomeness!
ReplyDeleteI love Breaking Bad - gradually adding more and more of it to my Love Film list so I can re-watch/catch-up. Really love these nails, minus the hazard ones they could easily work towards Big Bang Theory nails too x
ReplyDeleteI did exactly the same, watched it for a few ep's then got distracted! I didn't follow that up with awesome nail art like this tho x x x
ReplyDeleteI'm just like you in regards to watching- I watched a couple episodes when it first came out, but I don't remember why I stopped watching. Picked up watching it on Netflix a couple days ago and now I'm on season 3! Love these- and since I've been obsessed the past couple days I knew right away they were Breaking Bad nails when you posted a preview on twitter!
ReplyDeleteWow! Awesomeness!

ReplyDeleteI was late getting on the Breaking Bad bandwagon, then I was home sick for a few days and watched the first three seasons straight through. I LOVE the nails!
ReplyDeleteLove it!
ReplyDeleteYO! XD
ReplyDeleteOMG, this is sooo great! I love it!
ReplyDeleteI just yelled out "YEAH SCIENCE!" when I saw the title to this blog. I was so impressed that I had to share with my boyfriend because we're both big fans of the show. Very nice job! I think that a blue glitter nail needs to be in there to represent Walt's blue crystal meth. Just an idea for next time. ^_^
ReplyDeleteThis bring back so many memories of medicinal chemistry... Great manicure :)
ReplyDeleteLooking through the comments, I can't think of anything more praising (yes, it's a word) to say about them apart from BLOODY FANTASTIC. :)

ReplyDeleteOne of the best shows ever! And an awesome mani! I don't think Walt can just walk away anymore so I'm excited for next season but bummed out that I have to wait a year for it.
