Disney Descendants Nail Art

I saved the best, I mean worst for last. The majestic and fair Queen and her daughter Evie. I am super excited so pull up a throne and let's take a look at final post for Disney Descendants...for now.

Unlike the other sets, this one does not have matching colors. I love the iconic purple Queen and just cannot wrap my head around her being in blue. So I did The Queen from the original movie.

Here she is in all her glory. Her main nails are purple with red glitter triangle tip. The tip is outlined in gold striping tape, which is then outlined in jewels with the top being her pendant. After all, ever queen has jewels. Her accent nail is gold with a royal floral pattern in red....could it be the blood from a pigs heart? That would horrible. Painting your nails in the blood of Snow White, well what you thought was Snow White's. Then three lines of jewels, because she needs more jewels...duh. This is the favorite set amongst the theatre I work at. I guess I will have to find an excuse to wear this.

Evie looks like a glam girl, so she needed glitz on her nails. Her main nails have a base of blue with a shimmer blue over top. In one of the commercials, the light caught her nails and looked like a silver ombré, so I mimicked that here. Her accent nail is the same as her main nails except for the coloring. I used the same pattern in red and made a thick French tip in red. 

I cannot wait until tomorrow to see the full movie. Hopefully, I will have an update on the stray for those of you in the Sanford area in case you are interested in some kittens. But first a look back.

Stay Wicked,

Disney Descendants Nail Art

I know Maleficent and Mal are the leads in this film, but I wanted to save my favorite Villainess for last. 

Best part about this design is my brand new bottle of Frankenpolish! I used my Frankenpolish, alpine snow, I carol about you, Suzy and the 7 dusseldorfs, gargantuan green grape, and Christmas gone plaid. I hope that is all the polishes. No, I won't share my Frankenpolish mostly because a lot of those colors cannot be found. 

I am sad that I did not let this dry fully before moving it, I now have a finger print in it. Dragon flames seemed the perfect way to pay homage to the mistress of all evil. Her main nail is purple with several layers of green flames. In Disney Descendants, Maleficents index finger was her accent nail, I used a lot more colors on this one to give it a little more depth than the main nail. I cannot wait to wear this.

Mal's nail is a little softer.  In this picture the purple is overlaid with a purple vine pattern with a larger green vine pattern over it. The accent is green with a purple vine pattern and green glitter. I chose vines, because it is the nicer version of a wall of thorns. I am actually sporting this manicure right now.

Sorry the lighting is poor and the photo came out a little grainy. I made a couple of changes. The accent nail also has a middle layer of vines in green. The vines in a different shade definitely add dimension when it catches the light. The biggest change I made was more glitter! I added green glitter to each of the nails. I think it would be fun to do green glitter and purple glitter in different areas. I love glitz. 

The great news is my niece wants to be either Maleficent or Mal for Halloween. If she sticks to that, I will add the pictures of her nails, but we have a few months until then. Also, we now have a stray cat. I have been working with her and yesterday I got to pet her. We still let her roam wild because she has a litter of kittens...somewhere. My niece named her Maleficent, but we are supposed to call her Mal for short. Too cute.

Next up we have Jafar and Jay. All polishes used were OPI.

This was so much fun. I got to play with the application of liquid sand nail polish when it comes to stamping. I used a variety of colors in these so the coordinate but definitely have sever differences. Let's take a look at Staff wielding Jafar.

I wanted his main nail to be really gritty and mean looking. So I used a base of  Emotion liquid sand and stamped a pattern using Magazine Cover Mouse.  I love how this put color on the nail without looking patterned. His accent nail is all about his desires I used red and put a fancy gold pattern over top. I love the contrast of the beauty and wealth he fires and the gritty life he actually lives.

For this one I don't really don't have an accent versus main nail color, because I feel like Jay just rolls with the punches and enjoys life. He seems to be down to earth. The black nail utilized Black Onyx with a pattern in Magazine Cover Mouse. I love how clear the pattern is, but still the depth of the liquid sand. The brown nail uses It's All San Andrea's Fault with Love. Angel. Music. Baby stamped over top to get remind me of sand dunes. 

In this duo I definitely think my favorite design is a tie between Jay's nails. I could see myself wearing both of these designs and I am not that big on brown.

Disney Descendants Nail Art

Are you looking forward to "Descendants" this Friday, well you aren't alone. My niece and I are already set to watch this fun, campy, ever after. To celebrate I did a little nail art to showcase the villains and their children. This week I will be working through my collection one Villain and their kid. Today I am going to do two duos, because I will run out of days if I don't. 

First up, Cruella and Carlos.

I used five OPI colors: Black Onyx, Alpine Snow, In My Santa Suit, 4 In The Morning (only in Carlo's accent), and Love. Angel. Music. Baby ( again only in Carlos's accent). Let's take a look at my least favorite Disney Villain, Cruella de Vil.

The Cruella inspired nails features red nails and a white accent nail. I figured since she is a hot fashion designer she would be the go to gal when Villains needed new clothes. Therefore, I layered other patterns from the collection, alternating black and white. To mute the contrast I made a translucent red to put over top the design. 

The accent nail is fairly simple and is used to demonstrate her devil pride....I mean de Vil pride. I have her name written in red with black rhinestones to add a little depth. Even though she is my least favorite villain, I would love to wear that red nail.

I have a feeling Carlos is going to be in for a rude wake up call when it comes to dogs and his mother. So on each nail I made something just not quite right. The main nail has a base of white and black. Over top I took a fan brush and added the stripes so it gave me different thicknesses with no work.

His accent nail is white based. I put this awesome check pattern (in 4 In The Morning) over it in places then took non-acetone nail polish remover to the design to leave remnants of the design. Then I took shattered glass patterns and layered that on in red, grey, and gold. It is just a small nod to the shattering of the image he has of his mom and a throwback to her deadly car crash. How did she survive that?

Color Paints

The first thing I want to talk about is OPI's Color Paints. The stores near me did not carry full size bottles, but they did have the sample set; so, I picked one up for about $12 wholesale at my friendly neighborhood cosmoprof. If you aren't a cosmetologist the retail value is about $20.

You get the silver base coat and 5 of the colors: yellow, orange, pink, teal, and purple. It is easy to use you apply one coat of silver, let it dry for a minute and then glide the colors you want on the nail. My first attempt was not half bad, I love the way they blend together to make a lot of different colors. I would have loved to have a primary blue and red so I could make any color I wanted.

Stamping was a little difficult with the silver, but it could have been my scraper. I could not find my gift card that I love using so I had to settle for one of those metal scrapers which don't work that well.

 

All in all I love the set it really reminds me of the color tints from last year, but with a wider range of colors and not as thick so blending is easier. I cannot wait to play with these on a client.

Stay Wicked,
