Avengers - Hulk Manicure

When I was swatching my Kleancolor mini polishes a couple days ago i saw that their was some good colors for Avengers Manicures. I dont know if i will do more but i did a Hulk one. The lighting in my apt is awful so sorry about the quality of pics. The signature on the DVD below is Stan Lee. We got his autograph a couple years ago at the annual Phoenix Comicon.

 

Items Used:

*Metallic Green, Fuschia, and Black

*Migi Nails Green, Black, and White

*Seche Vite Base and Top Coat (When i removed the swatches i found some staining with a couple of the colors.)

*Some green nail glitter i got in a set from the dollar tree

*Nail brush i got from my Crown Brush Haul

I should have done some clean up after i was finished, sorry.

*I started by applying Seche Vite Base Coat.

*Applied one coat of Kleancolor Metallic Green.

*Went over with Seche Vite Top Coat (im impatient)

*Next I took the black Migi Nail Pen and drew an outline of Hulk Hair at the top of each nail.

*Filled in the tops with Metallic Fuschia on every finger but the thumb.

*Filled the top of thumb with Metallic Black.

*Seche Vite Top Coat

*Next i took my nail brush and dipped it into my Migi Nail Black and drew on hulk face.

*Used Migi Nails Black and White for Teeth.

*Using Migi Nails Green I spelled out the Hulk on my other Fingers.

*Took a brush and applied Green Glitter over letters.

*Traced the Letters back over with Migi Nails Green. (I messed up the letter H when i did this :/)

*Let dry for a minute or 2.

*Applied Seche Vite Top Coat

Super Vivid Setting

Fisheye Setting

miniature setting

Toy Camera Setting

Monochrome Setting

Posterized Effect Setting

 

I decided to play with some of the settings trying to see if I could the letters to show up better. My flash always gets in the picture when i take pics of my nails.

This mani can go with my Hulk 1 and Hulk 2 Make Up Looks.

Color Club Electro Candy

On TPF in the "What Nail Polish Are You Wearing?" thread, the girls recommend this nail polish. I was disappointed when i went to their website to see where i could buy some, and it said that no stores in my area carried it. Well it was mistaken lol I work at Ross, and while unboxing some boxes in the stock room last week, i stumbled upon 5 different sets. I ended up buying 2 of the 5. Each set cost $7.99. It happened to be our double employee discount week, so i got 40% off of each. *woot woot*

The Colors Include:

Volt of Light(yellow), What a Shock(green), Electro Candy(pink), Tangerine Scream(orange),

Ultra Violet(purple, and Pure Energy(blue).

 

These 2 pictures.. well i should have cleaned up my fingers/hands first lol :p

 

I wasn't used to the consistency of these. They are formaldehyde/toulene/dbp free.

They glide on easy and for a subtle bright color you should use 1 coat, 2 coats are effiecent. I used 3

in the pictures t make them as vibrant as i could. The polishes dry very fast if you space the time out for each coat.

They can last 3 or 4 days without chipping. I work in the cash office at work and been doing the stock room so the top edges have chipped off from that...
