To Infinity and Beyond!

I had so much homework this week that I had to keep my burgers for a while 5 days! Aaaahhhhh! They actually lasted the entire time but I am happy to be doing them again. Today, a boy at my schools who always likes my nails suggested that I should do the aliens from toy story, which was random. I took his idea and changed it a little, but still incorporated the alien! It took a really long time but I think it is super cute. There are a lot of details in this design but of course, a solid coat is needed to start. On my pinky, after my base coat, I applied my skinny green Orly brush (didn't have the right color in normal bottle) then covered half of it with my skinny blue Orly brush. I didn't use the right purple, something a little lighter would be better, but I applied that in a straight line dividing the green and blue sections. Then the eyeballs were 3 big dots of white nail polish and 3 black dots inside of them (made with my skinny brush!).
Next is the ring finger which is Woody's shirt. To start I used my China Glaze "happy go lucky" with Sally Hansen Insta Dri "rapid red" as the plaid. I painted small half circles on the sides of my nail with my white Milani skinny brush. Then I used my Milani black skinny brush for the cow spots. Finally I used my Sally Hansen Insta Dri "rapid red" again for the bandana and did white dots with my white Milani skinny brush.
Buzz light year!!!!!!!!! (a.k.a. my middle finger) As you can see, I started with white then did the green part with my skinny green Orly brush. Sadly, I still didn't have the right purple for the lines and triangle at the bottom so if you try this, look for a better purple. I used my same Insta Dri red as before for the dot and reused the purple, blue, and green colors named earlier for the buttons.
Reach for the sky! The pointer finger was the easiest. It was only 2 steps: 1) Essie "coat azure" for a base. 2) White skinny brush for the clouds.
Last but not least, my thumb. I began with a white coat and then my Orly "hot shot" in a thick stripe at the bottom. I used my skinny blue Orly brush to paint "toy" in bubble letters and then my yellow Orly skinny brush for the inside of "toy" and for writing "story." Finally, I was finished. Got to go! PFYL!
