Pokémon NAC Week 7 - Poison

Hey all!

Yaaaaaaay another installment of my favourite challenge - Pokémon (gotta paint em all :D)

Today is Poison, which I proper groaned at. I hate poison attacks, theyre so annoying. I'm a hit them and bash them hard, very little strategy type player, unless its against a friend, then of course I am full of strategy. But poison is never something I go for, I'm a lover of the Ghost move Curse and then I tend to revert to hitting them with everything I have and reviving constantly haha!

There are only 3 new poison pokemon in Gen 2, so I went for the one I actually used in game. The first time round I played, I started late at night and picked up a low level Spinarak. They're actually pretty cute I think for a bug / poison pokemon and especially for a spider. I played with him for at least 2 or maybe even 3 gyms, so thats a long time for a bug pokemon which are pretty much weak and rubbish for fighting with.

My nails are a base of Deborah Lippmann - Wicked Game, with some freehanded spiders webs and of course my freehanded Spinarak.

What do you think? I wasnt sure at first, but I quite like the duochrome background for these :)

ER31DC Day 23 - Inspired by a Movie

Hello all!

First of all, I want to say sorry for being absent a fair bit this week. Work is hectic and I am so busy teaching myself everything before I can teach it to my kids. So I have some nails done, but havent had the chance to crop, watermark and write posts for them all yet!

Here is one though - my movie nails. I already did some Stargate ones before, so I went for one of the best movies I have seen this year, and one that has seen a lot of nail art love already - Despicable Me 2! Minion nails!

Hope you enjoy them!

Pokémon Nail Art Challenge Round 2 - Day 1 Normal Nails

Can't believe this has come around already, and yes, I'm late!

Today is Day 1 - Normal Nails. I had a look through the list and immediately spotted the pokémon I wanted to do.

The first time I played a Gen 2 game, I started late at night. So the pokémon I came across were totally different to what most people picked up. I picked this little beauty up at Level 2, and played with him all through the game until completion - love him!

Hoot Hoot! <3

 

So here are my nails! Quite proud of these, though I think a diff background colour for the accent would have worked better. I also took these outside and the reflection on them is terrible! I am sorry!!

Don't forget to check out everyone else's normal type manis!
