Avengers Themed Nails

Here in Ottawa, we have comic con coming up, plus the new Avengers movie was recently released. So, in honour of all of that I have done Avengers themed nails!

WHAT YOU WILL NEED :

the ones I used will be in brackets listed below !

• toothpicks [ five ]
• black nail polish [ Rimmel London 615 Night Before - not black, but the closest I had besides the detailer ]
• green nail polish [ Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear 17 Ivy League ]
• white nail polish [ NYC  134 French White Tip ]
• grey / silver nail polish [ Sally Hansen Magnetic 903 Silver Elements - I didn't use the magnet ]
• blue nail polish [ Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear 64 Blizzard Blue ]
• red nail polish [ Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear 07 Cherry Red ]
• [ L.A. Colors Art Deco Black ]

STEP ONE -

Start by painting your nails the with the base colours. Left hand all nails except for the thumb are black, the thumb nail is grey / silver . Right hand is [ thumb to pinkie ] white, black, red, black, white.

please excuse the awkward cropping :)

STEP TWO -

There are a total of six different logos for the Avengers, I did them on my thumbs, my middle fingers and my pinkies. I left my two index fingers and ring fingers black. You'll want to use a different toothpick for each different colour.

Iron Man [ left hand, pinkie ]
Using one toothpick and red nail polish outline the outside of your nail. With the blue nail polish and another toothpick make a medium sized dot in the center of your nail, and then create smaller dots all the way around it.

The Hulk [ left hand, middle finger ]
Start with a fair sized green dot in the center of the nail - larger than the the center dot on the pinkie. The radiation symbol is larger on the outside and smaller on the inside, but it works and looks just as well to make them squares. Do one green square on the base and then the last two diagonal at the edges of the top of your nail.

Thor [ left hand, thumb ]
Just like the Iron Man nail, you'll be outlining the nail, but this time in blue. Create a short black line from the left bottom corner and make a white rectangle on the tip of the line to make the hammer.

Captain America [ right hand, thumb ]
I started this one with the star first, so I wouldn't run out of space after doing the outlines. To make the blue star I did a small 'x' and then added a small line out of the top of the intersection. And then again outlining the nail in red with another circle on the inside around the star.

Hawkeye [ right hand, middle finger ]
This one is the simplest to do. Make a fine black point in the very center of the nail and circle it. Put lines to create a plus sign on the outside of the circle.

Black Widow [ right hand, pinkie ]
This one I found the hardest, because I was trying to make the red triangles with a completely empty space inside for the black, but it actually doesn't matter, as long as the shape is good you can put the black right on top of the red - let the red dry a bit first so the colours don't swim together. One triangle is from the base to the middle, you can follow along the base of  your nail for the base of the first triangle. The base of the second triangle should have a bit of space left above it.

STEP THREE - 

Finish with your favourite top coat and you're done!
