Mistress of All Evil

For an oldie but goodie, I recreated my Maleficent nails from 2014. 

Better brushes, and more practiced skills, helped improve the finer details a little bit from my first try.

Polish Used:

• Artistic Colour Revolution - Shaded Not Jaded
• Sally Hansen Insta-Dri - Black to Black
• Sally Hansen Crackle Overcoat - Ink Splatter
• Base and top coats

Other Supplies:

• Nail art brush
• Acrylic paints - green, purple, blue, red, and black

Acrylic paints are the preferred choice for detailed character work. It is easier to control, and easier to fix mistakes with a little water. To create this look:

1. Apply the base colors - thumb and pinky in Shaded Not Jaded, the rest in black.
2. Add black crackle polish to the thumb and pinky.
3. Apply a layer of black polish to the middle finger, and dab some green on the tip. While wet, use a nail art brush or pin to drag the green polish in a fire-like pattern.
4. Use acrylic paint to paint Maleficent's face on the ring finger, and her dragon form on the index finger.
