The Mortal Instruments Nail Art Tutorial
Hey guys! I finally finished reading the last book in The Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare and I had to do a design inspired by the series to commemorate it! This tutorial show you how to paint 3 out of the 5 runes present in this design: the iratze, angelic power rune, and the fearless rune. If you decide to try this design for yourself please tag your pictures on Instagram and Tumblr with #looknyanails so I can see all your pretty recreations! ---------- Products Used in this design include: Ciaté - Dangerous Affair* Ciaté - Doll Face** Essie - Good As Gold Essie - Grow Stronger Base Coat* Essie - Licorice HK Girl - Clear Top Coat *Not shown in the video. **This is the colour I used for the base (it s matte, I love it!), but since I was trying to mimic the idea of runes being drawn onto your skin, I encourage you to pick a polish that it similar to your own skin tone! ^^ The brush I used is from Born Pretty Store (ID 16587) and has been trimmed down. ---------- General information about runes (I can t believe I read an entire wiki article for this design): http://shadowhunters.wikia.com/wiki/Runes http://www.cassandraclare.com/my-writing/excerpts-extras/runes/ Iratze/Healing Rune (index finger): http://shadowhunters.wikia.com/wiki/Iratze Angelic Power (middle finger): http://shadowhunters.wikia.com/wiki/Enkeli Fearless (ring finger): http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130715115426/camphalfbloodroleplay/images/5/5a/Fearless_Rune.jpg Mourning (little finger, not included in video): https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/5a/23/94/5a23947318287bf132d722638d775637.jpg Clairvoyant Sight (Thumb, not included in video): http://shadowhunters.wikia.com/wiki/Voyance ---------- Music: Instrumental Remix of Magnetic by Jessie J. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJtC_0qEV3Y ------------ Find me on: Instagram: @nyanails Tumblr: notyouraveragenails.com Blogger: nyanails.blogspot.ca Pinterest: nyanails Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Not-Your-Average-Nails/506878952776315
