Once Upon A Time- Evil Queen/Regina Inspired Nail Art

Surprise!  It's another Once Upon A Time inspired mani!  This one is inspired by one of my favorite characters on the show- the Evil Queen/Regina!   I used this photo of her from EW.com (Entertainment Weekly) as my main source of inspiration.

Star Wars- Darth Maul Nails

This is my attempt at nail art inspired by Darth Maul from Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace!

 

I did this mani about 2 weeks ago.  I wanted to try to do a design on my nails that resembled the one Darth Maul has on his face.  I printed out some pictures to use as reference and freehanded the black with a thin brush. The results were a bit messy and my triangles didn't come out quite right.  I wasn't very happy with them at the time but looking back at the photos, I think they were okay for a first attempt!

Fun little tidbit- this past May, my husband and I went to Disney World for our honeymoon and were able to check out Star Wars weekends at  Disney's Hollywood Studios.  We were pretty excited when we saw Ray Park there.  He plays Darth Maul in the Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace!

I'm a little behind on posting my nail art so I'm hoping to catch up!  I've got a different kind of post coming up next week as well!  :)

Sleeping Beauty- Maleficent Nails

Last week was my friend Hope's birthday!  Because Sleeping Beauty is her favorite, I took up her suggestion for Maleficent nails as a surprise!  I wasn't sure if I'd be able to paint the dragon version of Maleficent but I think it came out pretty well! 

For those who are unfamiliar with Disney's Sleeping Beauty, Maleficent is the villain who curses Princess Aurora.  At the climax of the film Maleficent transforms into a large dragon which is the version of her that I tried to paint.  (You can see Maleficent as a dragon in my favorite show at Disneyland -Fantasmic!)

To do this mani, I started out with purple and black on my nails.

Afterwards I freehanded the dragon and fire onto my nails.  It took a little while but I think the result was worth it!  Hope seemed happy when she saw them too so I think the results were successful!  :)

After my friend's birthday party I took a quick photo of my nails outside the Lego Store at Downtown Disney!  They have Maleficent on top of the building! 

I hope you enjoyed this manicure!  Thanks again to Hope for the idea and happy birthday!  :)
