Pokémon NAC - Week 14 Dragon

Hey all!

Pokémon nails again - I will complete this challenge!

Its dragon week today, and especially in game you've gotta love dragons. Up until recently, they were pretty much the shizz, but now they've introduced Fairy types (aka Annoying. As. ****.) Dragons aren't quite as strong as they used to be. No worries, theres still some amazing Dragon pokémon - just a shame most of them are Gen 3 or later!

So I went for Kingdra. It's the only new addition to the Dragon category this generation and it's a bit of a poor looking dragon - it's defo still pretty cool as a water type though. I've never used it in game, or seen much of it in the animé which is a shame! There is one episode though which proper makes me laugh - Kingdra vs Totodile haha! Totodile ends up chomping him on the nose and when I saw this GIF I just had to include it!

I tried for Nimbus nails again, but my choice of polishes didn't pan out quite as well this time.. but no matter. I'm pleased with my freehand.

What do you think?

Nimbus nails!

Have a look at these!

I followed the tutorial over at Nailasaurus and my goodness, I aren't half pleased with these! I even chose colours that I wouldn't usually.

This was so easy and I am really pleased with how they came out.

The polishes I used were:

Sinful Colors - Snow Me White (base)

Nails Inc - Marble Arch

Essie - Off the Shoulder

Ciaté - Jelly Bean

all topped with a coat of OPI Top Coat.

What do you think? Have you tried these yet? Have you tried other tutorials? Would you recommend I try some different ones? Let me know!

Pokemon NAC Week 5 Flying - Natu

Hey all! 

Got another edition of the Pokemon nail art challenge today! 

I had a fab idea to try watercolour nails as the background for this mani - I tried following the tutorial over at Paulinas Passions, but I think I must need pure acetone as nail polish remover was just not doing the job - my polish would not go watery and even, just globby. 

So you'll see my background is less than satisfactory, but I decided to not be wasteful and use it anyway!

Today's pokemon I chose was Natu - I always choose Natu in the games as my flying and psychic type, especially for the league as I try and have an even balance of pokemon types, strengths and weaknesses. 

So here are my little lovebird Natus. Unfortunately one of them is a bit derpy!

Again, if you're a lover of pokemon, cartoons or just fancy a bit of a challenge, feel free to join our facebook group! Everyone welcome! Its a free challenge, no time limits, so you can start when you like and post when you like - very relaxed!

No facebook? No problem - you can always share with me on my Twitter account, or feel free to email me or share links to your photos in the comments!
