House Stark (Photo Heavy)

This week its House Stark in continuation of my Game of Thrones month.

Whole Hand
 Let me start by saying, I had a ton of trouble getting the Stark dire-wolf  right, they either looked to fluffy or like they were grinning as opposed to snarling.

Main Four.
 I chose to do some geometric patterns on the ring and index fingers because mimicking the wolf's fur would have made it too busy, and I like the geometric/asymmetrical french going on. The snow on the pinky is because of all the snow in Winterfell and obviously the wolf is the Stark sigil.

Thumb close up.
This one is the best looking wolf, most likely due to the large size of my thumbnail.

The colours I used are: China Glaze "First Mate", with "Wet Cement" by Sally Hansen. I used my trusted Speedball ink and dip nib pen for the black outlines.

If you would like a set of these, as either false nails or nail wraps, send me an email.

Have a Happy Monday!

Game of Thrones House Sigils

So for those of you who are also fans of the novels by George R.R. Martin, and a fan of the HBO series
Game of Thrones, you probably know Season 2 is fast approaching. And to be honest, I'm dying of
excitement. I love the first season, and can't wait for the next one. 
To show my support, I painted each House's Sigil on my nails, I used the one's off of the coasters.

Whole Hand

Left to Right: Stark, Targaryen, Lannister and Baratheon

Bad close up on the Thumb.
The base for these was "Fast Track" by China Glaze, from their Hunger Games Collection. I hand painted all the Sigils, and the words on my thumb. Terribly sorry by the way for the blurriness, it was the best picture I could get. Maybe when I get some money I'll purchase a new camera.
Enjoy!
