Hi lovelies,
So, I went on a bit of a nail painting spree over the last couple of days and did my nails a lot as well as plan out many other designs. These were probably my favourite ones, mostly for the reason that I've been planning to do some Avengers themed nails for ages.
These, in case you hadn't got it from the pictures or the post title, these were inspired by the Black Widow. In hindsight I probably should've started with an easier Avenger to translate into a nail design, but oh well. Actually, I did think about that before I started, but disregarded that nugget of my own advice. Pretty much because I just really love the Black Widow and Scarlett Johansson.
Although I did start to doubt my choice of starting with her when it took my family forever to guess who inspired these. I had to narrow it down to Marvel, and then the Avengers and they still guessed Nick Fury and Agent Coulson first. I mean seriously? I know that I am a bit biased because I did do them, but Nick Fury? Really? How do they even slightly resemble Fury??? Or are my painting skills just worse than I thought. Seriously - please tell me. But, then again, the same sister did think my gingerbread men were Shaun the Sheep.
Also, I did think my thumbs were a dead giveaway...
For these nails I used

Midnight Haze by Revlon (grey on index finger)

Duchess Lace by Sally Hansen Diamond Shine (nude on ring finger)
Cherry Brandy by Continuous Colour (red highlight on hair - pictured)
All in all, I'm really proud of these nails. I found it really hard to translate the Black Widow into a nail design that was both achievable for me and still reminiscent of her character. I am sad I wasn't able to capture her amazing eyes, but I'm not artistic by nature and so eyes are waaaaaay beyond me on paper with pencil, let alone on a nail!
