Harry Potter Nail Art

The long awaited Harry Potter manicure. 

I got to go to the Harry Potter Wizarding World Park at Universal Studios this weekend, so I HAD to do a matching manicure. I didn't have long to paint these nails, so I kept all of the designs quite simple. I included some footprints from Marauder's Map, four wands (Hermonies', a Death Eaters', Dracos', and Dumbledores'), a patronus, the famous HP, the deathly hallows sign, a lighting bolt, and a snitch. The first few pictures were taken at the park with some very recognizable items being sold at the various gift shops and the last few photos feature the first book as my background. 

Makeup Nail Art

Makeup on my nails, what?!?! Well not technically, but the idea is still there. I've seen this type of design a lot on my Pinterest and needed to try it out for myself. I used two different types of light pink polish for my base color and then added ten different types of makeup related motifs; eyeliner, mascara, a contour kit, nail polish, highlighter, eyelashes, a brush, blush, a eyeshadow palette, and a lipstick. I added some pink sparkle nail polish to the background (very subtle) and then some pink stars to add to the cute style of the overall manicure. 

5 Shade Ombre Nails

Inspired from a pin off of Pinterest, I created this manicure featuring blocked gradient rectangles. For all of my nails (except my ring finger nails) I painted on five different shades of grey, starting from a very light grey to a dark grey. As for my ring fingers I used the same thought process but just in lavender tones for a pop of color. I added on some glitter to the middle stripe on each nail and then some dots between the lines and my cuticles. Overall this manicure doesn't look like much from far away but become quite intricate the closer you get.  

Fresh Fruit Nail Art

How better to enjoy your summer days then with some fresh fruit...on your nails! I've done fruity nails in the past but this by far is my best one! I painted on five different fruit for each of my hands with my handy acrylic paint. I included a watermelon, a strawberry, a kiwi, and apple, and a dragon fruit. Boy do these make me hungry!
