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!
