The Last of Us!

Yes, I love this game. I even liked the ending. The second I saw the Firefly logo on a wall in the background I knew I had to create a nailart with it, so here it is, finally. 

I'm.. Very happy with them. 
I decided to make bricks because of the run down landscape of the "outside". For some color you could add leaves and vines, but I like the plain grey. It gives a nice feeling of... Death and nothingness.

I started off with my pink french polish, one coat is all it takes. Then I painted on an uneven grey french. 

Except the ring finger, which I painted grey. Then I thinned black acrylic paint so it was basically water, and started making bricks. The most important part about making bricks it rounding the corners. Before I did that it just looked like a pattern, but rounding off the corners makes it look like bricks. I used this amazing tutorial.

To make the logo I made 6 dots.

The top four are where the wings will come out, and the bottom two are where the body will start.

Then I added even more water to my black paint and went over the black lines to add depth. I thinned white paint and added highlights. I made a dark grey and let my hand shake like crazy to get fine shatters in the stone. And that was it. Actually simple, but it does take a little bit of time and patient. I'm not a very patient person (who would've thought!) and I could've made the brick lines a lot thinner if I had moved slower. I still love these though!

And here is the final result, on my right hand this time. 

As you can see I've broken the same two nails, again. I think they're just not meant to be long. Oh well. That means I can show every design on short nails too!
