I wanted to do a Mario themed manicure in dedication to the many hours spent with my cousin playing MarioKart on his Nintendo system growing up. Every time we were together, we were playing that game. We even changed "the rules" and played by driving around the course backwards, or teaming up and taking out a specific character. We even got to where we would say "Pull over to laugh!" because we'd be giggiling so much we would drive even more erratically.
I'm not too proud of how all of these turned out. The only one I really like is the Yoshi. So I cut the tutorial down to just that nail.
Mario's hat
Luigi's hat
Princess Peach's dress
Princess Peach's hair and crown

ReplyDeleteSuper cute mani! I showed it to my boyfriend (he's a big fan of Nintendo and Mario) and he said that it's really gorgeous! :)
ReplyDeleteIt's really cute! You made Yoshi really nice! A few years ago we had a Nintendo64 and MarioKart was so addicting! Me and one of my brothers played it all the time! I was so addicted that when I went to sleep and closed my eyes the only thing I saw were the racing courses :P

ReplyDeletesoo cute
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful. Just a question: why do you use acrylics in some parts and nail polish in others? Like could the white have been polish instead, and the red have been acrylics instead?
