LiL Challenge: Tv/Film Inspired!

Today's prompt from Life in Lacquer is "Tv/Film Inspired!"


After bouncing a few ideas off Sarah, I settled on a Marvel theme... Which turned into a Thor-theme.... Which turned into Loki.
Ah, Loki, I love you.


Actually, I think I love Tom Hiddleston (*swoon*)... But Loki is pretty dang amazing!
Anyway, back to the nails!


This was my first attempt on free-hand nail art like... ever.... And I got a little carried away on the pinkie!
But overall, I'm quite proud of this mani, so I took lots of pics to spam you with!


So may main aim here was to capture the horns, which I attempted on my index and ring fingers, and also to get a bit of a pic of his face with the start of his helmet-horn...thing.


The base polish I used here was Barry M Emerald, which is super pretty as you can see! It's definitely a favourite of mine!
Other polishes used include Barry M Gold Foil Effect, Barry M Textured Glitter Majesty and a Black Striper.


Since he's an evil guy, I decided he didn't deserve a nose :P (Just kidding, I wasn't sure how to do one hehe)

And here's my friend Sarah's mani for the day! It's a super cute Minnie Mouse mani!


She's done some cute classic-Minnie spots, with a highlight nail of white with a Minnie Mouse sticker! How cute!?




So that's all for today! Tomorrow I'll have a special 'Fridail' where I'm taking part in a colour challenge that some of the British Nail Bloggers are taking part in! 
You can catch the next LiL Challnge prompt- dots- on here on Tuesday! 
Thanks for reading!

How To: Gradient Nails

Gradient nails are a great way to ensure that your mani matches your outfit over a set period of days (depending on how many colours you use), and it also just looks pretty dang awesome. You've seen a few of my own mani's where gradients have been used (these ones below, in example), especially those in more recent posts! So a tutorial is definitely long overdue- I hope you find it useful!
