Star Trek addition - Worf

7/16/2014

0 Comments

 

After I posted my Star Trek nails to Facebook, I got an amazing suggestion to add Worf's baldric. So here it is!

I taped off the area for the baldric, and used one of my Mash stamping plates for the chain pattern. Finished it up with a few minimalistic badges with a dotting tool, and voila! Worf'ed!

Tools Used:

Star Trek inspired - "Warp Speed"

I did these to compliment my Away Team nails. I could use a bit of practice with perspective, but I think for a first try they came out pretty nicely.

I started with white nail pen, but it proved too shaky, so I switched to the tried and true, simply, easy flowing, acrylic paint.

Yup, I've gotten into Star Trek:TNG. I'm currently on season 3 marathoning my way through while doing my nails.

Here's my representation of the typical away team: Riker, Data, Geordie, Worf, an Dr. Crusher.

This is my third attempt at galaxy nails and it is by far my best.  I recently got my order of MoYou nail stamping plates which included a sci-fi themed plate, and this was a good design to use to break them in!

I took pictures of them with a flash and one without and I couldn't decide which one I liked best.  So here's both!

Gameboy Nail Art

Sorry it's been a while since I've posted, but I've been a bit busy and lazy.

So, this was actually part of a Game-Night set I did for a friend's birthday party, but sadly the rest of the game themed nails chipped too badly before I could get a picture of them.  But at least my favorite survived!
In case you're curious, the other games represented were backgammon, Sorry!, Twister, and chess.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

I just finished reading book 4 in the series and I couldn't help myself.  I LOVE how these turned out!  So crisp, clean, and frankly, awesome.  I freehanded everything and I am incredibly impressed how my skills at painting with my non-dominant hand have improved so much.  You can't quite see it in the pictures, but the black base color actually has a hint of yellow sparkle in it, which I thought would make a good "spacey" color and to finish off the space look, I added some little white stars as well. 

In the words of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation, "Share and enjoy!"

I'm not going to explain how to do these nails in detail, because I think it's pretty obvious to get from the picture. 

Tools Used:
Detail brush
Toothpick used to make  the stars

Polishes Used:
Base Coat (sparkly black) - OPI #DS037 DS Mystery
Green Thumb- China Glaze #651 Tree Hugger
Details - White, Black, Red acrylic paints

    About Bailey

    I'm 29 years old and I just moved to New York City with my boyfriend and little monster dog.  I've been doing nail art off and on since I was a kid...that's about 17 years!  But I really got back to it about 3 years ago. 
    As you can probably tell, my inspiration comes from my love of TV shows, movies, games, and other miscellaneous pop culture.
