Avengers Nails

When Marvel's new film was coming to theaters my sisters were very excited!  They're fans of the other Marvel films and got me to watch them.  I decided I wanted to be like Nick Fury and make my nails my own team of Avengers!

For this one, I took some time to come up with a simple design for each nail to represent each Avenger.  Since I was planning to do the same 5 Avengers on each hand, I had to cut one of the Avengers from the film (sorry Black Widow)! 
Here is what I created in Word when I was coming up with what I planned to do!

 

After having my sister confirm these designs would be okay to represent each Avenger, I got started!

First I painted each nail it's appropriate color and let them dry.  For the thumb that was going to be the Captain America nail, I put tape on the top half of the nail and then painted the rest in blue.

Afterwards I used thin brushes and hand painted the designs on each nail.  For the thumb I removed the tape and then painted the rest of the design in.  It took some time- some of the nails took a couple tries! Here are my Avengers!

 Here is what each nail represented!

Thumb= Captain America

Index Finger=  Hulk

Middle Finger= Iron Man

Ring Finger= Thor

Pinkie= Hawkeye

This was probably my favorite manicure I've done so far!  It started a lot of fun conversations with people who asked me about them!  They lasted a long time too (2+ weeks)!  I was a little sad when it came time to remove them!

Blue/Black Grid Nails

This next manicure was a quick one I did a few months ago.  I had painted my nails in a light blue that I really liked but felt it needed something else.  I grabbed my black polish that came with a thin brush and started drawing lines on my already blue nails.

They weren't the straightest lines but in the end I liked them!  It sort of reminded me of Tron and the Grid!  I sent a picture of them to my sister and she said they reminded her of Mystique from X-Men which made me like them even more!  I hope to try this again sometime with straighter lines!
Here are a couple more photos of them.  Duffy the Disney Bear jumped into the photos so he could show off his paw too!

  

I think Duffy's paw has mine beat!

Purple And Silver Glitter Nails

I thought I would start off with what I did with my nails recently! Especially since it included glitter which always reminds me of pixie dust!  My family gave me some pretty purple polishes for my birthday so I really wanted to make use of them.  I was going to Vegas that weekend so I decided I'd use the purple with the purple glitter polish I had gotten.  The color was really pretty and I liked the result!

I felt it needed something more though so I decided to add some more sparkle with a silver nail that would hopefully bring me some luck while playing the slot machines in Vegas!  I used a coat of silver colored polish and then topped it off with OPI's Rainbow Connection polish (from their Muppets collection).

I was really happy with it!  It didn't bring me the luck I needed to win the big bucks in Vegas but at least they looked pretty good!

Welcome!

My name is Nerissa and I love all things Disney! For my wedding last year my sisters and cousin did my nails. My toe nails had blue with some sparkle and I really loved how it reminded me of pixie dust!  A little while after the wedding I started dabbling in doing my own nails and trying out different designs. It became a hobby and while I'm definitely not a pro and am still learning, I thought I would share my nail art here!  I plan on doing the 31 day nail challenge soon so I plan to chronicle that here as well!  Thanks for reading!
