Minecraft Creeper Nail Art & Tutorial! :D

Hi everyone!

I am really excited about my post today! I have a nail art picture tutorial for the minecraft fans out there! Do I even have any minecraft fans who follow me?! Anyway these are my creeper nails and how I did them :) For those of you who aren't minecraft fans, creepers are the worst hostile mobs out there and they will explode and destroy all of your hard work. I have a passionate hate for them. Why did I put them on my nails? I do not know. Perhaps it is an obsession.

This is a picture of a creeper:

I started with base color of Color Club Twiggie, one of my favourite greens.


Then to do the pixels squares I used striping tape from the born pretty store and placed it on my nail in a checkerboard pattern. Then in the squares I applied Elevation Torres de Paines (Darker green) and China Glaze Tree Hugger (Shimmery light green)


This is the result.


Finally I added the creeper faces with a toothpick and a plain black creme. Added topcoat, and voila! CREEPER NAILS! Run!! Light torches!!! Hide!!!


I hope you liked this post!

Elevation Torres del Paine

Hello everyone! and Happy Thanksgiving to my American friends! Are you all planning to do some "black Friday" and "cyber Monday" shopping this weekend? I sure am! Hoping to score some deals on some Christmas gifts!

Today I am sporting Elevation Polish Torres de Paine. This is a very awesome shade of green. Mossy but clean medium green. It is a gorgeous shade. This is my first Elevation polish and I was very impressed with the formula. It was soooo saturated with colour, and incredibly pigmented. This is just one coat and I felt no need to do another. It did dry a little dull. These pictures have no topcoat so you can see the finish. Topcoat added plenty of shine though. Here are some photos in both natural and artificial light.




I am a fan of this polish! What do you think?
