Iron Man Nail Art

After seeing the new Iron Man movie I decided to do a nail tutorial for my Youtube channel, which was actually really fun but not as easy as I thought it would be. I did the nail art a few times before I was happy with uploading the video which isn't perfect but you can still follow it and probably do it better than me!

Like I said the thumb nails aren't fantastic and are a little messy but I think they turned out quite well. For the rest of the nails I just used a sponge to dab on red nail polish as I didn't want just block colours. It would probably look better and be easier to do if you have longer nails and you could also paint the mask so it's facing away from you which could make it slightly easier to do.
All in all I was quite happy with how they turned out but I still think I need a lot of practice before I can do them perfectly. Feel free to let me know what you think below or you could watch the video and paint your own Iron Man nail art :)

Spider-Man Nail Varnish.

I have never done any nail art or whatever before so I thought I'd try to paint the spider-man logo on my nails. It's not too great and its a bit wobbily :/ but I think I'll get better with practise. I'm thinking I might do a superhero nail blog post, so basically paint my nails with different superhero logos or something like that. Anyway here are some pics:

This is what my nails looked like to celebrate the new Spider-Man movie.

The right thumb was soooo difficult to paint which explains why it looks messier than my left thumb. I just used a really thin brush to paint the spiders over the top of the blue nail varnish. I used OPI's Into The Night, which is the sparkly blue/purple colour that is part of OPI's Spider-Man collection. This colour has grown on me so much and its beginning to be one of my favourite nail varnish's as its such a gorgeous colour! You can probably tell from my bedroom walls that blue's my favourite colour. This nail varnish lasts quite a while and doesn't chip either so it's well worth the money.

The red is by Rimmel London, it's one of the Lycra Pro polish's in the colour Ruby Me (319). It's basically a really bright red so it's perfect for Spider-Man. I wouldn't normally wear this colour but it was given to me as a gift and I've actually used it quite a few times.

Ruby Me & Into The Night.

I'm going to do Batman nails for The Dark Knight Rises on friday ( I'm soooooo excited!!!!) So I will do a blog post on that too which will be similar to this one even though I'm not the best at painting my nails haha. But I really enjoyed doing this little bit of nail art so I think I'll do it more often :) x
