After painting Pokémon on my nails for Valentine's Day I wanted to come up with another game themed nail design. I decided on Sonic The Hedgehog as I used to love playing this game when I was younger. Also you may have noticed my nails are suddenly a lot shorter this week - yesterday I learned you should never go bowling with pointed nails! I was left with broken jagged claws so I have filed them all down and I will have to patiently grow them back again. The blue base colour I used for this design was OPI's No Room For The Blues and all of the detail was drawn using very fine nail art brushes.
How to get this look:
Apply a base coat and then two coats of a blue polish.
Using a thin nail art brush draw lots of tiny squares in a light brown colour to create a check pattern. Fill in the squares between the light brown with a darker brown colour. Start with two rows of squares or add more rows where you want to create a hill so it is like the landscape of a sonic game.
Using two shades of green draw short vertical lines in alternate colours just on top of the brown squares. Follow the shape of the brown squares and curve the green where you have drawn the hill.
You now have your sonic game landscape so now you need to use a nail art brush to draw Sonic himself. Start by drawing the white circle for the eye and then draw the dark blue shape of the head around the white. Use a light brown or sandy colour for detailing on the body and then draw the blue arms and legs in a running position. Finish off Sonic by drawing a white hand on the end of the arm, put bright red shoes on his feet and add a black dot to his eye.
On the other nails you can use gold nail polish to draw gold rings which Sonic collects in the game or you can draw silver spikes or other obstacles from the game.
Finish by applying a top coat to your nails.
