Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi. You're my only hope. Star wars nail art!

Hi everyone, this is my second attempt at star wars nails, changed it up a bit and did my favourite droids, who else but R2D2 and C3P0! (sorry about the poor quality picture). C3P0 didn't come out quite how I wanted him because I worked on my right hand and am never as good at detail with my left. But the idea is still there.

Colours - 


  • Gold
  • White
  • Black
  • Blue
  • Silver 
  • Red
Method


R2D2 - 2 coats white, tipped with silver or grey ( you can create this tip, when the white is completely dry stick a small piece of tape on your nail to cover the white you want to keep this will give you your line, remove tape carefully when finished tipping) using various thin brushes or dotting dots, even pins are useful, create a simplified R2D2 design, use a picture if needed.  Then top coat him and you are done.

C3PO - first start with 2 coats of a matt gold, I added a clear coat of glittery gold over the top for an added sparkle. Next you need a very pale yellow for the eyes, I achieved this by mixing a drop of yellow in some white. Using a dotting tool make 2 circles on each nail once dry add a black dot to the middle. Then using a very narrow detail brush or pin create a small curved nose, rectangle mouth and 2 curved lines meeting in the middle for his forehead. Top coat and you are done, if you are really good use a photo of him to add more details but this simple way is quite effective.

Thanks for reading and I  hope you like
