She-Ra Princess of Power

Ok, I laughed hard when I showed these nails off at work, because my coworkers Danny and Dano totally recognized this character right away, and Danny knew that She-Ra was He-Man's twin separated at birth. LOL. These cartoons do stick in your head and heart, don't they??

I decided that I have been neglecting my sparkly glitter polishes, and needed to do a fun sparkle manicure. She-Ra is both powerful and girly, so she fit well into this mani.

I painted She-Ra using acrylic paints over the base of OPI Elephantastic Pink. I had to change the shape of her face a bit, but that is the nice thing about acrylic paint. You can mess up and fix things fairly easily. 

Next I outlined her crown, face, and flowing hair.

Here is She-Ra, with an adjusted jaw line and her facial features. I thought about adding some sparkle to her crown, but I started this mani rather late and night and I needed to go to bed.

Polishes used in this manicure: OPI Extrava-va-ganza! and OPI Elephantastic Pink. I also used Nail Envy and Seche Vite.
