I got my first Cult Nails polish the other day. I was looking for a specific shade of blue. Anyone familiar with Doctor Who will know what I mean when I say I was looking for a TARDIS blue. Well, I found it. Cult Nails Time Traveler. Yes, DW fans, it is named for the show. Anyway, that's where my manicure started. Then, hubby helped me choose a "wibbly wobbly timey wimey" (another DW reference) design from my Bundle Monster plates. He picked an all over design from BM-209. The stamping was done in OPI Moonraker.
By the way, Time Traveler applied like a dream. Love it! The perfect TARDIS blue polish!!!
The girls came over again, for Disney movie night, so it was manicure time! I did Trisha's nails first. She really wanted to try a fan brush manicure and I was more than happy to oblige.
We started with a base of OPI Alpine Snow. Then, with a fan brush, we striped on Sally Hansen Blue Me Away, Sally Hansen Fuschia Power, and just a bit of Sally Hansen Celeb City for some glitz. She's super happy with the results. I aim to please. :)
For Heather's nails, we decided it was finally time to do a Doctor Who manicure. (She is the reason for my DW obsession.) I thought it would be fun to start with a galaxy manicure and then add a little DW nail art over top.
The galaxy manicure turned out fantastic! We started with Wet n Wild Black Creme. Then, we sponged on SO MANY COLORS! I honestly don't even remember how many colors, or which ones, we used. I should have written it down, ha ha! We used some blues, purples, greens, silvers, white, and more black. Then, we splattered on white acrylic paint for the stars. My "TARDIS" colored blue isn't nearly opaque enough to use over a dark background so I used blue acrylic paint. You'll have to excuse my preschool drawing on her ring finger. It's a TARDIS. I ran into some problems. Ha ha! She loves it, though. On her thumb, the Doctor Who logo.
One of the movies we watched was Cinderella. So, I thought it would be fun to do a Cinderella inspired manicure on myself. I wanted something light and very girly.
I went with Covergirl Pink-finity. Then, on every nail, other than my thumb, I used two coats of Nubar 2010. On my ring finger, I stamped a crown from my Bundle monster plates. It came from BM-215. On my thumb, I stamped an all-over design from BM-213. Shoes!
For the stamping, I used Sally Hansen Celeb City because I'm obsessed and because the foil bits totally look like glass slippers!
I had been asking my sister if I could do her nails ever since we got to Tennessee. She's not necessarily the girliest girl out there so she wasn't all that keen on having her nails painted. I offered to paint some designs on her bare nails and she agreed. I asked if she wanted Harry Potter themed nails. (She has always been a die hard HP fan. I've only recently started watching the films.) She said she wanted one hand to be Harry Potter and the other to be Doctor Who. (The Doctor is our newest obsession.)
We started with the Potter hand. It took us a while to decide on what to do. We wanted something simple so we settled on this...
The Harry Potter logo on the thumb and the first initial of each of the four houses; Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Slytherin, and Hufflepuff. The colors I used are (from thumb to pinky) Wet n Wild Black Creme, Sally Hansen Rapid Red, Sally Hansen Co-Bolt Blue, OPI Here Today...Aragon Tomorrow, and Black Creme again. Then, we topped it all off with a coat of NYC Matte Me Crazy. She was very happy with it. I love it, too.
On to the other hand...
I heart heart this hand! (Doctor Who fans will get it.) I used all of the same colors on this hand except for the OPI. For the Union Jack, I painted the nail with the Co-Bolt Blue, then used white acrylic paint and when that dried, painted on the red stripes using Rapid red. Again, we finished with Matte Me Crazy.
We are both so happy with the way these turned out. Yay!!!
