Nail Art Inspired By: Avengers Assemble - Captain America

Saturday, 6 September 2014

Hi lovelies,

So, I disappeared again.... The reason this time is even sillier than normal (and it's a little sad that I have a 'usual' reason for my occasional and completely unexplained absences but let's move on). Basically, I got stuck writing one post and so just hid from it. Which also included hiding from every other potential post I could have written in the meantime, while I struggled with this particular post.

Anyway, today I thought I'd post one of my favourite nail designs that I've done in a long time. This is my second contribution to my Avengers Assemble collection and yes, I am going to do all of them and no, I have no clue what I'm going to do for some of them (Hulk? Hawkeye?).

Luckily, the Captain was actually fairly easy to translate into nail art, thanks to the simple design of his shield and uniform and I am really proud of them.




They are also probably the most recognisable of any nail design I've done as most comments went along the lines of 'Wow! Captain America nails!', rather than 'Are they Captain America nails? Because if so, that's pretty cool'. Which was very nice and also makes me feel like my skills are improving! And, I only had to redo one nail this time, as opposed to about the 4-5 nails I had to redo when doing my Black Widow ones.



The polishes I used were
Sizzling Red by ulta3 (red)
Black Satin by ulta3 (black)
Endless Blue by Sinful Colors (blue)
Snow Me White by Sinful Colors (white)

Also, don't you just love it when polish colours actually give you an idea about what colour the polish is going to be? Don't get me wrong, I do love OPI-esque names like A Woman's Prague-ative and Where Did Suzie's Man-Go, but it does make everything easier when remembering which polishes you used! :)





And, if you feel like it, check out the rest of my Inspired By nail art here.
