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!

So during July I've been travelling a lot. I've basically been living out of a suitcase this whole month. This means that I didn't make very complicated designs, so I'm just making another update post.
I bought new polishes at the start of the month, and they are fantastic.
The Sally polishes are absolutely amazing. They wear perfectly for a week without any chipping or lifting. The Maybelline french polish is also amazing. You only need 1 thin coat, which spreads evenly, for a perfect french manicure base. The CK glitter is fantastic, it makes every color look girly and sparkly. The purple one was the only not-as-good-one. It's very thin and streaks easily, and the color is a red purple instead of a blue purple, which it looks like in the bottle. So I might not be using it a lot.
Anyway, onto the designs!
First I wore both the new Sally polishes, I painted my nails with the beige and did a little on nail marble. The beige dried a bit too quickly so it didn't turn out as great as I would've liked, but from a bit of distance they looked amazing.
Then I wore something very girly.
I didn't have much time so I made a simple french and glitter design. I think it would've looked better if I had worn my Maybelline french polish as well, but I didn't bring it.
Then I set off on a long trip, and since the Sally polishes wore so well I used them again!
I started with the beige and used the swipe method that I came up with a while ago. I think my nails look kind of like bacon. In real life, from a distance, the nails simply looked like a nice pink shade. But when you come up close, you can see all the detal. Love it! I worse these for 8 days and they didn't chip at all. The stones even stayed on, I lost one on day 7 after a tickle fight but otherwise it was perfect.
Then, I wore something purple. I made a V-french and tried to make hearts with rhinestones. It didn't turn out so great.
But I got to try out the CK glitter and it looked fantastic! Also a very girly design, with lots of bling.
So yeah, as I said, things weren't very complicated this month since I was very limited to the few polishes i brought with me. I didn't bring acrylic paint either. So it was just basic stuff. But it was pretty, and it was nail art, so I'm happy!
