Despicable Me Minion Nails!!

Hello everybody!
So, I am so uber-mega-excited to share this nail art with you today: as you've probably guessed from the title I have painted the minions from the amazing film Despicable Me onto my nails! I don't know if you've seen the movie but even as a 16 year old girl I would have to say that it is one of my all-time favourites and after going to watch the sequel the other week I just had to try out these adorable minion nails.

If you haven't seen the movie then I'll just say you will fall in love with the cute storyline, the lovable evil master Gru and the girls, "It's so fluffy I'm gunna die" (you know what I'm talking about!) and of course the hilarious minions!

So, I will say that these nails took me quite a while to do because there are so many layers but I've included a quick photo tutorial at the bottom of the post so check it out and give it a go! I think that the brighter the nail polish you use the better the finished result so don't be afraid to do multiple coats of polish.

 

Papoy? Ah, PaPOY!

 1. Paint your nails with 2 coats of yellow nail varnish. Please use a base coat though because I did this about a week ago and my nails are still stained yellow so, live and learn I guess...
2. Paint a black strip with a striping brush to make the goggles.
3. Use a dotting tool to create the silver outline of the goggles.
4. Add the whites of the eyes leaving a border for the goggles and use a small dotting tool to make the pupil.
5. Give those minions some expression! Use a dotting tool.
6. Make their dungarees using blue polish with a dotting tool or small paint brush. Add a black dot to look like the Despicable Me logo. And, voila! Add a topcoat to seal in your design.

I hope you like! :)
