Tutorial! Left 4 Dead Med pack nail! Bonus! Peelz!

So if you know me at all you'd know that Left 4 Dead/2 is my favorite game ever. period.

There are close runner ups (fallout, Bioshock, Star Wars) but I can play Left 4 Dead over and over. I buy all the DLC and have even cosplayed as a character :D

So the finished Nail on a Nail wheel:

No top coat just the design.

So lets get the tutorial started! 

Heres what you will need:

White , red, black, base coat, top coat and some nail art brushes!

I used a long detail brush on my nails and on the wheel I used a flat brush and detail.

so after putting on a base coat, paint your nail white. 

I used China Glaze White on White 

Then take the detailed brush with black polish and make three lines two vertical and one horizontal to simulate the zippers on the med pack

I used Sinful Colors Black on Black and I didn't line around the nail just as a straight line.

Then Taking the detailed brush make a red cross and fill the top in red except for a rectangle that you can add black marks to make it seem like it says first aid or leave blank. 

I used OPI Big Apple Red.

Then you can top coat which should even it out. 

I used Seche Vite which is the best for nail art. 

and thats it! Easy peasy!

you can clean around the nail with a cotton swab or nail tees. 

There's also the water trick/shower trick where if you soak you hand in water you can peel the excess off very easily. There is also the Vaseline/ lotion trick where you put that around your nails first but I don't like it to get on my brushes. 

Bonus Round!

i also did it in a box ike a label instead of over the whole nail.

I used China Glaze Solar Power.

then Blue leaving a space for the red in the lablel.

I used OPI Ogre the Top blue

then fill in the red.

I used OPI Big apple red

Then i added a bit of gray for the label on the side, cant see it much but its like an "ingredients" list.

I used China Glaze Elephant Walk

and black on the other side for a barcode and some dotting on the yellow for words. Sinful colors black on black

Then white dotting on the blue label for words and the warning white line on the bottom.

Then top coat and clean up!

(Seche Vite)

love letters

So I was super excited to try the Newspaper print nails when I had found we had some newspaper around, so I got my rubbing alcohol and set to try it out with the Cute Polish youtube tut.
dip finger in rubbing alcohol for about 5 seconds, place newsprint face down like a temporary tattoo on your nails for about 15-20 seconds too long and the paper sticks too soon and it's very light which is a nice look too. I think faded is a cool look. But even if you get paper on it clear coats cover it up but you need two or 3 since the paper bumps through a bit.

I used

Gelous Basecoat

 OPI Steady as She Rose

New York Times Newspaper

OPI Big Apple Red

China Glaze White on white for my horrible letter xD

Sinful Colors Black on Black

China Glaze fast Drying top coat

I loved my tiny uber hearts and my roommate took to doing it on her nails too. 

(Shes trying not to have terrible,bitten onychophagy nails any longer, looks so unprofessional )

I think my next designs will revolve around video games and maybe some cute summer themes.

I really want to do strawberries >w<

Ta ta for now!
