| The Lannister's of Casterly Rock. (l-r: Tywin, Joffrey, Jaime, Cersei and Tyrion. |
For those who don't know, I am a complete Game of Thrones nerd. And how can I not be? A song of Ice and Fire is one of the best literary series I have ever read.
This is the start of a load of Game of Thrones inspired nail designs I am going to be doing over the course of... I don't know. Until I get bored.
This one is inspired by one of the great Houses of Westeros: the great House Lannister of Casterly Rock.
The Lannister's are one of the principal Great Houses of Westeros with Cersei Lannister being the Queen Regent of the Realm. To learn more go here >>http://awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/House_Lannister
I happen to love the Lannister's, even though they are complete and utter nightmares.
This manicure is ridiculously easy and requires no striping tape, just a really steady hand.
What you need:
1 high quality basecoat (I prefer Sally Hansen Hard As Nails)
1 bottle Barry M Matte Nail Paint in Crush
1 bottle Barry M Texture Nail Effects in Gold Majesty
Application:
1. Basecoat each nail
2. Using three coats, paint each nail using Crush (the red one), allow to totally dry.
3. Using Gold Majesty, paint the bottom diagonal section of each nail. This polish is really gloopy so you will need to spread it around a bit. I recommend using you index finger to gently pat down each nail when they are half dry.
4. No need to topcoat! Just allow to dry.
This manicure is really simple and uses the two main Lannister colours of Crimson and Gold. I personally love how this turned out, it reminds me of Cersie Lannister's wardrobe - red velvet and gold brocade. Very decadent and luxurious, perfect for the richest and mightiest House in the Seven Kingdoms.
Next I will be doing a House Stark- inspired nail design so keep checking back.
If you like what you see and have any suggestions and comments, please let me know.
Bye for now!
Happy Scribbling!
XOXO
