The name's Bond, James Bond Nail Art!

This weeks nails are inspired none other than 007 himself. I addapted these from my Harry Potter nails from a couple of months back.

They are really simple even the thumb was quite easy, sorry the photo doesnt show the thumb's detail very well.

Tuxedos

1 - base coat to protect your natural nails once this is dry apply a coat or two of black varnish and allow it to dry

2 - using a thin brush or white nail art pen create a V shape at the tip of the nail, then you can add the detail for the lapels of the jacket, if you dont have a steady enough hand the design looks okay without the lapels

3- using a dotting tool, or as I did a sharpened pencil dipped in black varnish create two or three buttons on the shirt and then add a bow tie, just make an X at the top of the white tip and fill in either side

Gunbarrel Shot

This iconic shot from the opening credits can be quite simply recreated

1 - like with the above design one of two coats of black varnish

2 - using a thin brush or white nail art pen create a circle in the middle and fill it in white

3 - either continuing using white like I did or use silver with a thin brush draw the curved lines to give the effect if the gun barrel, it may be best to work from a photo off the internet to add more detail or add your own artistic flare as mine doesnt look amazing

4 - optionally you can add your own little Bond to the centre of the circle, he doesnt have to be a feat of amazing artistic prowess just a basic image, I used the sharpened end of a pencil dipped in varnish as it made my work a little more accurate

5 - using my tips from the blood drops in previous blogs add the last element of the blood dripping down from your nail bed

Shakened not stirred

Though I havent provided a picture on the other thumb I painted a very simple martini glass outline (with a thin brush) with two olives in (using a dotting tool), which is just an idea for another bond related nail art idea.

Thank you for reading this, hope you enjoyed it and it gave you some idea of what to paint. Feel free to comment or suggest designs I could do :)
