Allo polish Pals!
How are you doing
today? I hope you have had a great weekend, do you have anything nice
planned for the weekend? I'm hoping that very soon I will be able to
give you an exciting announcement. That's all I'm going to say for
now but I am busy planning something!
Today's nails are
inspired by both the modern and classic versions of Mickey. If you
didn't know, the classic version of Mickey was created by Mr Walt
Disney back in 1928 so the original cartoons were in black in white.
Of course as technology advanced Mickey went through several upgrades
to his current state which we all know and love in colour.
I really wanted to
bring both of them together on my nails. My first version had
different accompanying nail art but I felt like this one shows the
transition from black and white to colour better.
I began with my all
time fave base coat, OPI's 'Nail Envy' and created a nice clean
canvas by painting NYC's 'Williamsburg Vintage'. For my water
coloured nails I used acrylic paints and cotton buds – You can see
my tutorial here. I then used my favorite Bundle Monster and
Edinburgh Realism brush to bring the two Mickey's to life. I finished
with a coat of my Pro-FX top coat and added a coat of 'Wet 'N' Wild's
Matte top coat because it seemed very fitting for the nail art!
I'm quite pleased with
how these turned out. I had 'quite a bit of trouble with the Mickey's
but I feel like it didn't come out too bad! Are there any other
Disney characters you'd like to see on my nails?
What do you
think of my two Mickey's? Which one do you like best?
Have a beautiful day
and a sweet weekend! I'll catch you on Sunday!
Love
Ithi
I love the both version vintage and modern. Both turned out fantastic :D
