Superhero nails


Hi guys! On my previous lightning bolt manis I got many comments saying how they have a superhero quality, I really liked the comparison and I do have a thing for stereotypical superhero outfits ;) You know, with the bold colors and graphical patterns. So for today I made actual, intentional superhero nails. And yes, I used my last lightning bolt mani to achieve this look ;) The colors I picked are Diamond Cosmetics Blue Bell, China Glaze Millenium and a red shimmer from Etos, a Dutch drugstore. I really like how it turned out, I think it definitely says superhero! Hahah. This mani would probably work well too with the MAC Wonderwoman polishes, but with a gold lightning bolt in the middle instead of silver. Unfortunately I don't own those cute polishes, but I'll live :) Anyway, hope you guys like it and have a great weekend!

    You guys, thanks for your sweet, lovely, awesome comments! I loved reading them all and loved the comparisons of Wonder Woman and Captain America. I totally agree!

    @Jackie S.: Thanks! As you might have seen, I already have a tutorial for the plain lightning bolt, but I'll do another one soon for the double version :-)

    @rebecca: Pink would have been awesome too!! But by the time you suggested that, I'd already added the red, hahah
