Hobbits and Lord of the Rings Nail Art!

These have to be some of my favourite nails that I have painted and I will definitely be doing them again. I am a big fan of Lord of the Rings and these simple nails are perfect for a geeky fan. Mine more of less said "one ring to rule them all" being the first line of the rhyme inscribed on the "Ring". There are loads of photos of the text on the internet and the books tend to have a print of it too. There are some apps that allow you to translate your name and phrases into elvish script if you want a more personalised design.

Colours - 

• LA Colors Gold 
• LA Colors Black

Method - 

1. Base coat as always to protect your natural nails 
2. Coat of gold paint, I went for a matt gold rather than a glittery gold (LA Colors) as it seemed to resemble the ring more 
3. Once this coat has dried you can go about painting the elvish script, I selected the parts of text I wanted to copy and carefully using a very thin home-made detail brush (that's the good thing about home-made nail art tools its easier to vary the size of them) its best to work quickly and with new varnish so if you make any mistake they will lift off rather than having to re paint the whole nail
4. Once you are happy with your design finish off with a top coat to protect your design 

Hope you found this interesting and useful, feel free to ask me questions. Thanks for reading :)
