I’ve been playing my way through the Assassin’s Creed series since some time last year although I skipped over the first two and started at Brotherhood. Recently, I’ve been spending nearly every Friday night under a blanket playing Black Flag in the dark. Oh what a glamorous life I lead! I’m enjoying playing as Edward but I think that’s only because he’s from Swansea (which is about an hour down the road from me) but Ezio is my favourite of the Assassin’s I’ve played as.

For the nails, I used Barry M Almond as my base colour. I painted on the ‘hood’s using the Sweet Colour Black Liner from Born Pretty Store. 

To create the logo, I painted it straight on to a sheet of plastic using acrylic paint. This gave me the chance to correct any mistakes by scraping away small details that I got wrong. When I was happy with it, I painted two thin layers of top coat over it. Once it was thoroughly dry, I peeled it away from the plastic and trimmed as close to the paint as I could to make a kind of DIY decal. The results aren’t ideal – you can kind of see the outline and there are a few air bubbles – but I think it saved me a lot of time and trouble in the long run!

It’s all topped off with two coats of Glisten & Glow HK Girl.
