Nom nom nom! Pac man Nail Art!

Feeling geeky? Why not try these nails. (sorry about the poor quality photo) I have seen similar versions on-line, and none of them had ever looked much good, I think people try and make them too complicated. I am aware that mine aren't perfect but I will attempt to improve them. 

Colours - 

  • LA Colors Black 
  • LA Colors Yellow
  • LA Colors Blue 
  • LA Colors Pink
Method - 


  1. Base coat of nail hardener, this week I had to completely cut my nails right down, because week on week of painting them had weakened them despite using hardener ( I suggest that you leave a couple of days between your designs to let your nails "breath")
  2. A coat or two of black varnish (LA Colors)
  3. When this has dried using a detail brush dipped in a darkish blue to create the walls of the maze. Its useful to work looking at a screenshot of game.
  4. The detail doesn't take long to dry so you can add more pretty quickly you need to know what you want to put on them I chose 2 ghosts and a pacman, you could also do cherries and other elements in the game. 
  5. Ghost - mine are pink and blue, one you get the outline use both ends of a pin to do the eyes, the big end for the whites and the tip for the pupils, obviously if you don't have steady hands you don't have to do the detail
  6. Pac man - I suggest outline the shape to get the angle of the mouth right first then filling it in gradually with yellow (LA Colors)
  7. feel free to add whatever detail you want, I did little yellow dots but you could also do the other ghosts or nom nom nom written across the nails


Thanks for reading, I hope this was helpful. Good Luck with your nail designs :)
