The Pixar Polish Challenge Week 3: It's a (robot) love story, baby just say yes.

Greetings readers!

So, the UK is basking in a heatwave right now, and in typical British fashion, people are complaining. There is seriously no appeasing us when it comes to weather, it's either too cold or too hot, and God forbid when we have a very rare heatwave, you can rely on the media descending into panic: "500 people will die in the heatwave this weekend..." Really MET office, really??? I say we enjoy it whilst it lasts, though I'll admit the heat isn't very productive when you're at work!

Anywho, week 3 of the Pixar Polish Challenge has at least given me some respite from the sun, and I'm very pleased to show you the penultimate manicure of this humble challenge. So, readers, I present.....

WALL.E nails

What do you think? I'm pretty proud of these and I know it's going to be so hard to get rid of them :( Still, I have to remember that it's just a manicure and try not to get too emotionally involved. I'll definitely enjoy wearing them for the next few days, and have taken lots of pictures to prepare myself for when R-Day (removal day) inevitably rolls around.

Again, these took forever, but I'm very pleased with the outcome. I'd even be so bold to say that I think they're my favourite manicure to date! Woah.

So, before my nails were adorned with cute robots and suchlike, the base looked like this:

I actually really liked my nails looking like this on their own, and I reckon I'll have to sport this look minus robots in the future! To create this galaxy-esque background for WALL.E and co, I started by painting my nails black before sponging on a varitey of different purple, blue and silver hues. I also dotted on random sized white spots to create stars at the end of the manicure (they're missing in the above picture, though).

 I also took a few photos with my camera flash on, as I think the manicure looks cool and more space-like. I'm not usually a fan of using flash mode when photographing my nails, as you tend to get an unsightly glare that causes the picture to blur and obscure the finer details. For once, I don't think these shots turned out too badly!

 

So, that's week 3 done! As sad as I'll be when I say goodbye to these nails, we have almost reached the climax of this challenge! It seriously feels like I have waited a lifetime to do my Monsters University manicure, and I seriously can't wait to get started. I hope you all come back to see the grand finale!
 
Love,
