Avengers Nails!






Products used:

Thumb: Wet & Wild "Saved By The Blue", China Glaze "Salsa", Wet & Wild white
Index: China Glaze "Salsa", mixed OPI "Up Front & Personal" with China Glaze "Happy Go Lucky" for the Ironman yellow
Middle: China Glaze "Entourage" and bm12 plate for the chain stamp
Ring: OPI "I'm Not Really a Waitress", for Thor's hammer I used Color Club's 39 Silver and China Glaze "Mahogany Magic"
Pinky: China Glaze's "Stone Cold" which is a matte dark gray with silver microglitters, and stamped the spider with bm13.  There is also a spiderweb stamped from the same bm13 plate but it is very subtle and hard to see because it was in a sheer gray color. 

Painted the designs using a very thin art paintbrush.  It got kinda clumpy because I didn't add thinner to the mixes and it was hard to paint the small details without the thinner.  

cotton candy-ish



Nail gradient using China Glaze's "Bahamian Escape" and OPI's "Pink Friday".  
The special top coat is the infamous "Connect The Dots" by Lynnderella.
