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!

Manicures of the week

I rocked this mani at my friends birthday party this last weekend and it made me think of Easter mostly.

China Glaze Aquadelic and Brownstone.

I had this mani about Wednesday and it chipped badly because I had to remove stickers so it was removed in a day. :(
China Glaze techno teal and Laser Lime
(elecTRONica collection)

My current manicure and my favorite blue is from the OPI Nicki Minaj  collection fly and the french tip is Metallic 4 Life. 






I've noticed this trend of glitter french tips or french tip fading which looks really nice so my current mani reflects that. I think for my next mani will either be stamping or trying craft glitter on my nails.I need to buy a new white which means buying my favorite white, that is, China Glaze White on White, always so opaque and a very smooth white. 

The craft glitter I have makes me think of Valentines day though so I may just be preparing a future post on that, but I do want to start the pink on Wednesdays so the glitter may look good for that.

I've also been using seche vite as a top coat and I used to not like it very much, but its great for evening out nail art and it is very fast drying. 

Also I really need to remember to take pictures in the daylight, shows the color so much better but ost days are so foggy it doesn't even matter..... 

I'm also working on my blog layout so it'll be more customized to my style and going to link to my friends blogs! or any favorites I have but mostly my friends. 

I've been watching Grimm on hulu and may have to do some Grimm fairy tale themed art and I definitely need to do some  Disney designs, mostly Disneyland inspired but I will do my favorite classics.

 SO I need more nail wheels!!

So there is my manis of this week since I will probably be keeping my current all weekend. 

More to come!
