Sorry as per usual about the quality of the photos I am working on getting better quality shots.
Now on to how they are done, obviously you don't have to do one design per hand I just liked the duo together!
Colours
- LA Colors Brown
- LA Colors Silver
- LA Colors Black
- LA Colors White
- Off-white, skin tone (or a mixture of yellow and white)
Chewbacca nails
1- base coat to protect your natural nail
2- layer of brown nail varnish - I chose a slightly glittery varnish so the lighter tones in it would mimic Chewy's fur, you could use 2 shades of brown flecked together to create a fur effect too
3- once dry use a detail brush dipped in grey or silver to create his 'sash', you want to paint this from the left to the right of the nail as that's how he wears it. All you need to create is two lines of dashes
4- again once this is dry apply a top coat to protect the design
Han Solo nails
1- base coat
2- layer or two of white varnish for the shirt, I added a touch of yellow to my white to create the off white shade that best resembles his shirt, though its not very clear in this picture
3- using a black detail brush and black varnish create and fill in the outline of his waistcoat on top of the white shirt, the waistcoat curves a little at the top and always looks closer at the top than at the bottom so I angled my lines as best as I could to mimic this
4- you could leave the design there or add the 'V' neck line of the shirt in a skin tone using a detail brush. I personally think the 'V' set off the design and made it a lot more recognisable.
5- top coat to protect the design and you are finished!
Hope you liked my designs Thanks for reading :)
