Pokemon Nails

Who doesn't love Pokemon? I painted this design on my friends nails with a different Pokemon on each nail and a pokeball design for the thumb. The base colour I used was OPI 'bubble bath' which is a natural looking pink colour, I chose this so the Pokemon colours would stand out better. I think a white or other pale colour would also work well with this design if you want something slightly bolder for the base.

How to get this look: Apply a base coat and your base colour to each nail. Choose your favourite Pokemon and have a photo of them ready to look at. Paint the colour of each pokemons face on the tip of each nail with a fine brush or nail art pen making sure the head shape and ears are accurate to the Pokemon you have chosen. To draw the detailing on the faces you will need a nail art pen and maybe a dotting tool for the eyes and other small details. If you don't have a dotting tool I find using a cocktail stick works well if you need a very fine dot or line as sometimes it is hard to achieve a very thin line with a nail art pen. Allow your nails to dry for a few minutes before applying your top cost to avoid smudging your detailing.
