Beauty and the Beast Theme

*Disclaimer: Please excuse my nails in this look. I broke my middle finger nail and did not realize how bad the shape was until I painted and took photos.

Next up in my Disney Princess series I have Belle. Now I admit I did cheat a bit and use these adorable nail decals from Born Pretty Store . This was my first experience with nail decals and I am thrilled to say that they were so simple to use. All you have to do to apply them is hold the decal in water for about 10 seconds, slide it off the backing, and position on it on your nail. It's really that easy. You can check out all their other nail art products. They have a ton of different options and my code at the bottom on my post will help save you 10% off

 The yellow is China Glaze sun upon my skin. I used Opi I just cant cope-acabana to get the details on her dress. The base color is Essie mademoiselle. The roses are all a base of Essie double breasted jacket, with China Glaze bottoms up, and Color Club featured hair out to there for details. The stem is China Glaze treble maker and Opi jade is the new black. I used Seche Vite to seal everything in.

After I got done this with look I wasn't too thrilled with the yellow. I felt like it still looked patchy and is just not a great color on my skin tone. If I was to redo this I think I would use a different background color but when I think of Belle I think yellow.

Cinderella Nails

Up next in my Disney Princess series is Cinderella. I just wanted to keep this one simple. Nothing too elaborate. The stamp on my middle finger came out a bit crooked but that's ok.

The base color for all of my nails is the gorgeous Fresh Paint Glass Slipper. As soon as I saw it I knew instantly I wanted it for this look. I used two plates from Mo-You London Tourist collection, 03 and 21. No Place Like Chrome was used to stamp the glass slipper and Klean Color Black for the silhouette. This polish is a Semi-Matte finish wish I am not a huge fan of so I applied Seche Vite to help gloss it up a bit.

I hope you all have a wonderful day!

The Little Mermaid Themed Nails

Next up in my Disney Princess series is Ariel. The Little Mermaid is one of the first Disney movies I can remember watching and I still love it to this day. I pulled inspiration from her outfits and tail. I wanted the first three nails to almost be like going from the top of her hair to the bottom of her fins.

On my pointer finger I started out with two coats of Essie Double Breasted Jacket, I stamped with Color Club(Cc) Macaroon Swoon and plate BM 503. I felt like it still needed something else so I added dots of Essie Good as Gold. It made me think of her hair with starfish and jewels.

My middle finger is of coarse her sea shell bra. After I let two coats of Opi Samoan Sand I stamped plate BM 505 with Mundo de Unas #21 Purple. You can't do Ariel nails without having her sea shells.

For my ring finger I mixed both Mundo de Unas #5 Turquoise and #24 Aqua together on plate BM 502 over top of Orly Smoked Out to get the appearance of multicolored mermaid scales. I do wish I had maybe added a glitter over top of Smoked Out. My pinky is very simple. I wanted to do something to represent the white toga style dress she wears when she first gets legs. I used Opi Alpine Snow with Essie Good as Gold and plate BM 509.

I didn't get a great picture of my thumb but it represents Ursula. I started out with one coat of Orly Close Your Eyes and added a coat of their Fowl Play. I have been dying to use the tentacle image on BM 506 and figured what better time then when doing Ariel nails. I stamped the image using FingerPaints Rock Hard Lilac. Once all of my nails were dry I used Seche Vite to seal my design in.

I hope you all have a wonderful day!

Maleficent Nails

I am off to see the new Disney Maleficent movie and can not wait. I, of coarse, had to do my nails to go along with the movie. The green is grass is lime greener from china glaze. The light purple is lotus begin and the darker is what a pansy, both from china glaze. Both black, black onyx and white, alpine snow are from Opi. It is sealed off with a generous amount of Glisten and Glow HK Girl Topcoat.
