my little manicures
Jul. 23rd, 2012 12:37 amIf I fail at my science career, plan # 183.
Travel the world doing bronies' nails.
From Pride, when I did![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
marzipan_pig's nails with magnetic polish: very subtle Rarity cosplay.
![[Three shimmery turquoise diamond shapes outlined in white on natural nails, thumb, middle, and ring fingers]](https://p.dreamwidth.org/cef9c75d34b1/678086-514737/underhill.hhhh.org/~igg/mani-rarity.jpg)
(Sinful Colors "Love Nails", Rite Stripe white.)
After finding some more drawing-type nail polishes, I noticed I had exactly Twilight's mane colors. This needs to be revised to use a lavender background behind the pink star, which doesn't show up well as is.

(Sinful Colors Nail Art "Lagoon", "Rose in your Nose", and lavender one, Rite Stripe white.)
And the reason I decided to post, because getting the right colors has been a huge pain and I wanted to say how to do it, is this alpha-testing Applejack manicure. The apples came out pretty well, though I really should have a sort of jade green for stem and leaf, and the red is annoyingly translucent. Also, yellow nails never look quite as intentional as most colors; if you just glance at them they look unhealthy, so maybe I should drop the mane-impression bit in favor of more orange.

(Thumb: one coat Sally Hansen Nail Growth Miracle "Perfect Peach" that I bought in Chicago last summer, one coat Sinful Colors "This Is It". Fingers: two coats "This Is It". Sinful Colors Nail Art "Be My Valentine" for the red bits.)
I think I need more pink. And a Rainbow Dash manicure is even less sensical than the Applejack one, but I think that will need to happen too.
