Today's nails were inspired by a movie that came out yesterday; The Last Airbender. Now, I haven't seen the cartoon other than once or twice in passing, and I probably won't go to the movie, but reader Michelle C. asked that I do an Avatar: The Last Airbender themed manicure, so this is for her! :) I used the icons that represent water, earth, air, and fire for the index, middle, ring, and pinky, then for the thumb, I used the arrow tattoo on the main character's head. (or at least part of it)
I used:
Thumb: Head with arrow tattoo
MAC Abalone Shell as a base, with a mixture of Nubar Stronghold, American Apparel Peacock, and American Apparel Mount Royal for the tattoo part.
Index: Water
Orly Gumdrop as a base, with a mix of American Apparel Peacock and American Apparel Mount Royal for the icon.
Middle: Earth
American Apparel Palm Springs as a base, with Zoya Dea for the icon.
Ring: Air
butterLONDON Billy No Mates as a base, with a mix of Zoya Jancyn and Nubar Stronghold for the icon.
Pinky: Fire
A mix of Essie Alligator Purse and American Apparel Palm Springs for the base, with a mix of Essie Alligator Purse and American Apparel Hassid for the icon.
Topped everything off with 2 coats of Seche Vite top coat.
Hope you approve, Michelle! :)
Also, since I get a lot of people asking what I use for my designs, I took a picture of the brush that I use, which I got at Sally Beauty Supply.
Wait, doesn't the kid just have an arrow on his head?
ReplyDeletethank you for the brush and this nail design
ReplyDeletei used to love the cartoon!!!!
ReplyDeleteand i love these nails!!!
I'd love to see how you do the marble nails!
ReplyDeleteOn the cartoon (which is great btw) the main character, aang, just has a a blue arrow as his tattoo. You can see it on his head and on his arms up to the hands.
ReplyDeleteFor the movie, they made it much more intricate and detailed.
how do you clean the brush? just regular nail polish remover?
ReplyDeleteI love Avatar, my fiancee introduced it to me as we were going to see the movie, then to find out on opening day that it is a complete utter mess. Oh well, I still love the cartoon and I don't know why I didn't come up with this idea myself. Nice nails!
