Hello everyone! Happy Star Wars Day!!!!! WOOOOO! Ok, I’m
getting a bit too excited lol. To celebrate Star Wars Day I decided to do a
R2-D2 nail design.
The polishes I used were NYC’s “French White Tip” (#134), Sally
Hansen’s Insta-Dri shades “Silver Sweep” (#230), “Co-Balt Blue” (#320), “Rapid
Red” (#280), and “Black to Black” (#360). I also used painters tape, a skinny
nail art brush and a nail dotter.
I started with a white base (which took 3 coats with the polish
I used). I then painted a little more than a third of my nail (the part by the cuticle)
silver, using painters tap as my straight edge. Next I covered up the bottom portion
of silver with a piece of painter’s tap and placed another piece a stripe's width
away from the silver. I painted over my nail with navy blue leaving the bottom
half of my nail white and then removed the painter’s tape (after 10 seconds). I
also added a thin blue stripe for extra detail. For the details on R2-D2 (ring finger) I
added two shorter lines underneath the thin blue line, some silver lines/dots
over lapping the blue, and a single red dot.
Ta da! I hope you like this design. I made a video tutorial which you can watch here (sorry no audio). I really want to do
Chewbacca nails next year so tell me if that’s something you’d like to see. See
you soon and… May the 4th be with you. BYYEEE
