‘I’ve had enough trouble for a lifetime’ (Harry Potter Nail Art)

15th July 2011

Leave a comment

How could I not dedicate today’s nails to Harry Potter?! I’ve read all the books and seen all the films so I, like many, will be sad to see the end of the series. I’m not actually sure when I will be seeing the film. I could go on Sunday but I don’t like going to the cinema when it’s really really busy so I’m tempted to even wait until next week! I know that conviction won’t hold up for very long though!

Here’s some trivia for you. J.K. Rowling grew up in the area that I live in. I even went to the same high school she did!

Thumb to Pinky: Deathly Hallows, Slytherin, Ravenclaw, Gryffindor, Hufflepuff.

I used Bundle Monster plate BM20 for the stripes.

When I was checking the house colours (I know them of course, but I wanted to check I was 100% right because it would have been super embarrassing if I used the wrong colours) I found an interesting article about the significance of the colours which you can read here.

Polishes used:

Deathly Hallows – Rimmel Black Satin, white acrylic paint

Houses: Base colour first, stamp colour second

Slytherin – BYS Fern, Collection 2000 Moonlight shine

Ravenclaw – Collection 2000 Unnamed Bronze, NYC Glossies 243B

Gryffindor – La Femme Cherry Red, Sally Hansen Chrome Amber

Hufflepuff – George@ Asda Buttercup Shine, W7 Black

Week of Geek Day 3: Autobots, transform and roll out!

5th July 2011

Leave a comment

Maybe it’s not credible to like Transformers since it’s now a multi million dollar franchise but I really like the films. Robot fighting, explosions and amazing CGI, what’s not to love?! I saw the third film yesterday. The 3D is stunning and the action sequences are much better than in the last two films because you can actually see them Transforming instead of it being a blur of metal and camera cuts. It’s very long and it kind of drags towards the end but it still gets a thumbs up from me!

I posted a picture of these nails incomplete on Twitter to see if anyone could guess the theme and Jenni said that she saw Darth Vader in there and she is so right. Check out the middle picture and tell me that an upside down Autobots logo doesn’t look like Darth Vader’s mask!

Pinky to thumb: ‘T’ for Transformers, Bumblebee colours, Autobots logo, Optimus Prime colours, Decepticons logo.

I used:

W7 – Black, Collection 2000 – Moonlight Shine, NYC Glossies – 243B, George – Natural White (under the yellow), Go – Shade 4, George – Scarlet Kiss.

Tron-ails

22nd December 2010

Leave a comment

I’m going to see Tron: Legacy tomorrow! I’ve been super excited about this film for months and would have seen it the day it was released if it were up to me. Unfortunately, I’m not in the city at the moment and without a car it’s impossible to get to a cinema so I’ve had to wait for my dad to take me!

So anyway, I did some Tron inspired nails to mark the occasion and amazingly, my favourite blue glitter is perfect against black to mimic the trademark colours of the movie.

I used:

Rimmel Lycra Wear Black Satin

Barry M Blue Glitter sponged on the tips

Has anyone seen the movie yet? Is it as good as it looks?

My Harry Potter Mani

20th November 2010

Leave a comment

I’ve been meaning to do a Harry Potter mani all week but was completely lost for ideas.

I sat down yesterday night and decided to just paint them E.L.F Smoky Brown then decided to do the Deathly Hallows on my thumb – then came the rest. It was largely inspired by Melissa @ The Daily Nail‘s HP manicure.

And I did the house colours on my right hand. This is the first time I’ve photographed my right hand and it was really tricky to position my hand and angle the camera properly.

Left to right:

Ravenclaw, Gryffindor, Hufflepuff and Slytherin

I used a lot of polishes for this one and don’t have them in front of me to list right now so if anyone wants to know what any of them are, just let me know.
