    The Lacquer Legion Fandom: Avengers Nail Art

    #LLFandom // The Nailasaurus

    For this month’s Lacquer Legion theme – Fandom – I was completely spoilt for choice when it came to my inspiration. My mind has been going in circles since the theme was announced but in the end I settled on some Avengers nail art. I’m a big fan of the Marvel Universe and with all the buzz around Age of Ultron at Comic-Con over the weekend, I just couldn’t help myself! If you want to browse my past Marvel manicures, there’s a whole category dedicated to them here.

    If you’re taking part in today’s Lacquer Legion challenge, don’t forget to use #LLFandom when you post your mani and share it on the Facebook page. If you’re just spectating this time around, it’s easy to follow along on Instagram, Twitter, Tumblr and Facebook using the hashtag.

    For this nail art, I used a lot of nail polish. Too much to name it all here but my base colours are No7 Just Black, Cult Nails Time Traveler (Whovian bonus, woo!) and Revlon Bordeaux. I freehanded all of the detail using a nail art brush.
    Polishes worth noting are A-England Excalibur Renaissance, a super opaque silver and the Sweet Color Liner Polish, the perfect white for freehanding although I used a nail art brush, not the liner that’s included.

    Superheroes Challenge: Marvel Hero… Wasp!

    So we’ve seen the Villain and today, Marvel’s hero is riding, or should I say flying, in to save the day! I know that Venom is Spider-Man’s arch enemy but I’ve done Spider-Man nail art in the past so I thought I’d try something new today. I’ve actually done most of the popular Marvel heroes before (Marvel even has it’s own tag!) so I had to reach a bit further than the Hollywood blockbusters for today’s nail art.
    I chose to do Wasp, aka Janet Van Dyne. Some of you might recognise her from one of the Avengers cartoon series. I know that’s where I first saw her and when I was coming up with ideas for today’s nail art, I had an idea for her immediately! The wings came out better than I expected since I had the idea to make them pearly right at the last second and it definitely makes them more convincing as wasp wings!

    I used NYC Lexington Yellow and Cult Nails Cruisin Nude as my base colours. All the black detail is done with a small nail art brush and black acrylic paint. Finally, I used Rimmel Daisy Chain to go over the wings and give them that delicate, pearly effect.
    I finished it all of with two coats of Cult Nails Wicked Fast.
