Lazy 15 Challenge - Day 9 Disney

Yay, I'm posting on time!

Today's theme is Disney Film or Character, so I thought I'd continue with the Disney Princess nails as I've already done Rapunzel and Jasmine.

Originally I wanted to do Cinderella but I changed my mind last minute and did Snow White instead!

This is actually Snow White Mk2 as my first Snow White had a beard due to the shading under the chin going wrong, not a good look for a Princess!

The colours used are - 

Pinky - Barry M Raspberry over Barry M Matt White.

Ring - Barry M Matt White with Lemon Ice Cream over the top for a base, then Barry M Black for the hair, eyelashes, eyebrows and pupils. Barry M Nude and Famous By Sue Moxley Nude mixed for the skin, Barry M Mushroom for eyes, Barry M Raspberry mixed with Matt White for the lips and hair bow.

Middle and Thumb - Barry M Blueberry Ice Cream.

Index - Barry m Matt White with Lemon Ice Cream over the top for the base, Barry M Raspberry, Mushroom and Spring Green for the apple.

Next up is Under Water Creatures/Mythical Water Creatures, looking forward to that one!

And to end the post I thought I'd share a kitten photo that I managed to get today!

Princess Jasmine Nails

Long time no post!

I had a cold and was not in the mood for nail painting, I'm feeling much better now though so whilst walking the kids to school this morning I asked my daughter what I should paint on my nails today and she said 'Umm, Princess Jasmine? Is that a bit tricky for you Mum?'

... Challenge accepted.

I just did a quick Google search to find an image I liked to work from (HERE) and went to work.

The colours I used were Barry M Berry Ice Cream for the base, and Barry M Matt White to plot out a shape. Then I used Barry M Black for Jasmines hair, and mixed Barry M Nude with some Famous by Sue Moxley Nude to get the skin colour. Next I used Barry M Gold Foil for her earrings and necklace, Essie Mint Candy Apple for the top and hair band, then Barry M Gold Foil and Rimmel Sky High for the jewel. I  mixed Barry M Nude with Mushroom for the shaded areas on Jasmines skin, and used Barry M Matt White again to plot in the shape of her eyes and mouth. I used Barry M Shocking Pink for the lips, Barry M Black for the eyebrows, eyeliner and pupil and  Barry M Mushroom mixed with a bit of Block Orange for her eye colour. Then topped it all off with a layer of Seche Vite.

And that was that!

You may have noticed the pictures are a little different. I bought a portable camera photo studio kit from Ebay last week (HERE) which I used for the first time to take these photos and I decided to try a black background for a change, not entirely sure if I like it but let me know what you think or if you even noticed the difference!

Makeup Savvy 15 Day Nail Challenge - Day 13 - Film Inspired

I have been excited and terrified in equal parts by today's challenge.

I had lots of ideas for lots of different films, but I knew what I wanted to do ever since I saw this YouTube video.

Tangled has to be my absolute favourite Disney film, it's the first film I took my daughter to see at the cinema and I loved it just as much as she did I think! So once I saw the Robin Moses Tangled nails there was no going back.

This took hours.

I didn't actually follow Robins tutorial because she uses acrylic paints for hers, as I don't have any acrylic paints I had to use purely nail polish so I just used her finished image and the Tangled poster as my guide.

Obviously mine is not a patch on Robins! 

She is a genius and you just can't get the detail and texture with nail polish that you can with acrylic paints but I am so happy with it and so is my daughter, she will not leave my hands alone!

The colours used are - 

Base - Nails Inc Montrose Place.

Hair - Barry M Lemon Ice Cream, Matt White and Famous by Sue Moxley Nude.

Skin - Barry M Nude mixed with a tiny bit of Peach Melba then the highlights and shadows were done with Barry M Matt White and Famous by Sue Moxley Nude.

Rapunzles eyes - Barry M Mint Green, Black and Matt White.

Flynns hair and eyes - Barry M Mushroom, Black and Matt White.

Flowers - Barry M Peach Melba, Tangerine, Berry Ice cream and Bright Purple.

And I think that was everything!

If you are not following Robins work yet you should be!

You can find her on YouTube, Pinterest and her Blog.
