Costume Party nails

So a few weeks ago my boyfriends brother and his girlfriend Emily moved in with us. The boys are working on a project together and Emily and I are both working at the daycare. On Thursday we had a costume party for summer camp. Emily dressed up like Mario and I dressed up like Tinkerbell. I will try to get a picture of our costumes from one of our coworkers. The night before the costume party I decided to do both of our nails. I did the designs for the Mario nails on fake nails first to practice so I will post pics of those as well. Emily and I had fun cracking up trying to take pictures of her nails. I had to teach her how to model her hands... i dunno i guess you had to be there to think it was hysterical. Sadly I did not get very good pictures of my Tinkerbell nails because my camera died and by the time it was charged, I had to take my nail polish off for the surgery.

So I used so many different colors for these two nail designs... so I am not going to list all of the colors. I am not sure I can even remember most of the colors now. Many of the colors for the Mario nails were actually art deco polishes. I did the Mario nails entirely free hand. The Tinkerbell nails were stamped with the fairy and the stars from some fauxnad plates. "Tink" on the thumb was done freehand. I hope you enjoyed these as much as I did!

I think this is one of my favorite greens that I have. It is just so shimmery and pretty and it reminds me of cat eyes! I used a bundle monster plate to stamp the vines using Art Deco in black. I really need to get some black konad polish because the stamp came out kind of thin this time. For the tip I used scotch tape and craft scissors. I am including a picture of the craft scissors that I used. This was the first time I used the craft scissors to cut the tape for a mani and I really like the way it turned out and it was much easier than cutting the tape with regular scissors. I will do some more experimenting with the other craft scissors that I have and post them.
