We're off to see the wizard...

I am in the play "The Wizard of Oz" this summer. I got the role of... drum roll please .... DOROTHY!!!! I am so excited. Of course, I just had to decorate my nails with a wizard of oz theme. On my pinky is the scarecrow, on my ring finger the lions mane, on my middle finger the tin man's heart, on my pointer finger Dorothy's dress, and on my thumb I put a rainbow. Some where over the rainbow! So, I'm not going to explain this one because this would be a really long blog post but, I will give you some tips.

• You might want to use a lighter blue for Dorothy's dress.
• Use a SUPER skinny brush for the stitches on the scarecrows shirt.
• Just put on a blob for the patches on the scarecrows shirt because it looks more natural and good that way.

Flowers

This cute design is so so so so so so so so easy and can be done on your fingers or your toes.

Colors:
blue- Essie, Mint Candy Apple
yellow- Sally Hansen, Mellow Yellow
pink- Sally Hansen, Carribean Coral

1. Paint your nails a base color. I chose blue
2. Paint a dot on as many nails as you want. You can use whatever color you want but I chose yellow because it is the middle of the flower
3. Paint 5-6 dots around the middle dot. These will be the petals of the flower. I chose pink but any color will be fine

PS: If you are wondering what happened to my foot its a henna. Henna also known as Mhendi is a special paint that you put on your skin. It is normally done for weddings.
