@mikeyshoes2007 asked for a tutorial for the nails I did so I thought I’d make one? Disclaimer: I’m doing all this with my left hand so the pics and the painting are all a lil wonky.
1) Firstly you need: A palette, a small brush, nail polish in red, white, blue, and black, a Mini Mansions playlist on shuffle to get in the mood ;)
2) Base: White usually looks best when double coated, so this is what it looks like after painting twice.
3) The blue: I didn’t have a blue I was satisfied with so I mixed white + dark blue + ?? what blue is that. Overall I got kind of a blu-tac color? Whatever looks good to you is fine.
4) Blue strokes: Use the thin brush and randomly swipe around. Remember to leave space for the red! It also helps to look at Mikey’s suit and pick a particular area you might wanna replicate.
5) Red strokes: The blue and reds sort of alternate in a way but that doesn’t matter much really. Remember that for both colors the strokes should be thick and end up looking squarish round the edges because that’s how it is on the suit.
6) The black: My black nail polish comes with a thin brush already. Unlike the brush I used for the other colors, this is more pointed, which is ideal for drawing.
7) Patterns: Some notable patterns I picked out from the suit that you can copy.
8) Painting it on: The black goes over the other strokes so just have fun with it! You can also fill empty space with thicker strokes like I did.
And you’re done! I saw a lot of people wanting to try it and I hope you do! We can be matching nail buddies even if you’re halfway across the world!
