ARTSY WEDNESDAY: Animation-inspired

When I first saw today's theme, I thought, Oh, no...what on EARTH am I going to do for this?? And then, I remembered my favorite show as a child, Sailor Moon, and I realized I could do nail art inspired by Sailor Moon! Sailor Moon follows a group of teenage girls who use wands to transform into magical warriors and fight magical beings from outer space. Each girl is named for a certain planet (i.e., there is Sailor Moon, Sailor Mars, Sailor Venus, etc.).

I based my nails on Sailor Jupiter's transformation:

These kind of ended up being galaxy nails, but I still enjoyed doing them because I've wanted to try galaxy nails. I used Essie Stylenomics as a base and sponged BK Neon Luminous Glow Polish in #06. (This was my first time using Stylenomics, and I still can't get over how dark it is!!! It looks ldark green in the bottle, but on my nails, it looks almost black!) I used BK Neon Luminous Glow Polish in #03 for the dots. 

I based my accent finger on her transformation wand (you can see it in the first gif above).  I used Sally Hansen Big Money as the base and Stylenomics for the circle. Unfortunately, I can't tell you the name of the yellow I used for Jupiter's symbol (the "4"). I bought it at a seedy little dollar store once when I needed a yellow polish, and the name has rubbed off the bottle.  

I'm excited to see what everyone else did this week:

Lab Muffin - Maria's Nail Art - Unnaked Nails - Nail & Polish - An Accent Nail - Valiantly Varnished - MASPOOASE - Makeup and Masala - Every Little Polish
