Cars

As I mentioned my last post, I went to a Frozen Cars themed birthday party.  Since I always paint each hand differently, one hand was Frozen, and the other was Cars.  Today I present my Cars nails featuring Lightening McQueen!  Ka-Chow!

Polish Used:

• Sally Hansen Insta-Dri - Rapid Red
• Sally Hansen Insta-Dri - Lightening
• Wet n Wild - French White Crème
• Julep - Sydney
• Sally Hansen Insta-Dri - Black to Black
• Princessa - Blue
• Base and top coats

Other Supplies:

• Bundle Monster stamping plate - BM-412 (dots)
• Bundle Monster stamping plate - BM17 (checkered tip)
• Rubber stamper
• Nail art brush
• Rhinestones - red, yellow, green, and two blacks

Although it is the simplest, I think my favorite nail is the stoplight nail.  To create this look:

1. Apply the base colors – index in yellow, pinky in white, and the rest in red.
   
2. Index – The yellow with the orange dots is representative of some of the detailing on Lightening’s body.
• Stamp the dots with orange polish.
• Use reverse stamping to create a black and white checkered flag, and apply it to the tip.
  
3. Middle - Lightening McQueen Nail 
• Using a nail art brush, section off the white area of Lightening’s eyes.
• Use lack polish to outline the eyes, and the eyebrow line above. 
• Use a dotting tool to paint his eyes.  First dot a large dot of blue, then a smaller dot of black for the pupil.
  
4. Ring - Stoplight Nail   
• Use nail tape to section off a strip down the center of the nail.     
• Paint the section with white polish and remove the tape.    
• Apply three large rhinestones in a vertical line – red, yellow, and green like a stop light.
  
5. Pinky - Checkered Flag Nail 
• Use a nail art brush to paint black squares like a checkered flag.
  
6. Thumb    
• Apply two black rhinestones or studs to the base of the thumb.
