Mandalorian and Grogu Nail Design

Hello everyone! Sorry it has been a while since I have posted, there has been a lot going on. A couple of months ago I got into a bad car accident that totaled my car. I was driving to work and was very close to work and some guy turned right into my Herbie, I was hurt and my dream car was destroyed. 😭 I was out of work for a week and a few days, I am much better now, but that was the most terrifying thing that has ever happened. I just wish people would just pay attention and slow down, I am far from a perfect diver, but what happened could have been avoided if that guy was paying attention. 

Also last month we also moved into a new home, are last apartment we had been at for a long time and it was time to go, it was old and the place did not want to do updates. Anyways now things are better and we our now settling in our new place. This also means soon I will have a room that I can do my nails in and no longer have to do them in the kitchen like I have been for years now. Anyway today we will be creating a Mandalorian and Grogu nail design to celebrate the new movie that has been in theaters since May 22. I just got a chance to create and design and I thought it is still ok to share, the movie is still in theaters as of typing this post. 

Here are the polishes and nail art tools used to create this Mando and Grogu design:

Base and Top coat- CND Stickey Base Coat and CND Super Shiney Top Coat.

Polishes- Glam Polish-Mando Collection-The Child, OPI Holiday 2017- Ornament to Be Together, and Starrily- Northen Lights- Geomagnetic Storm Sights- Magnetic. 

Acrylic paint- White, black, mix black and white to make two shades of grey, green (mix green and white to make a light green), brown, and peach. 

Nail art brushes- Thin striper, detail, and linear brush, and a small dotting tool.

Other- water to clean off your nail art brushes. 

Apply a top coat to clean dry nails, let that dry.

Polishes-

Thumb- a light green (Glam Polish-Mando Collection-The Child, Had to use the Grogu polish)

Index, middle, and pinky nails- a mutichrome polish ( Starrily- Northen Lights- Geomagnetic Storm Sights- Magnetic) 

Ring finger nail- a silver polish (OPI- Ornament to Be Together)

Let that dry.

Galaxy Nails, on the Index, Middle and Ring Finger Nails: 

Let's star with the easy part on the nails that you polished with a mutlichrome polish, this is like a galaxy in a bottle and a easy way to have galaxy nails.To make them look more like a galaxy we just need to add star. To make the bigger stars, take a thin striper brush with white paint on it and make two large stars, by making a cross shape and then with a dotting tool with white paint on it make a dot in the center. 

With the smaller end of the dotting tool make small dots all around the nails. Then you have a simple galaxy nail design. 

Mandalorian on the Ring Finger Nail: 

Now on to the harder nails, let's create Mando on the ring finger nail. First if you don't have a light and dark grey, you can mix more white and a very small amount of black for the grey color, then mix a little more black in to your light grey to make a little bit darker grey, keep these to separate. 

To make Mando's helmet outline, take a linear brush with a light grey paint near the cuticle make a half oval shape and then a long rectangle under that half oval, fill that in with the light grey, then make two line down the nail and once you get near the tip of then nails square off each side for the bottom of the of his helmet. 

Next we will make his eyes, take a detail brush with black paint on it and make a thick black line going across his helmet, then down the sides make tow slanted lines, fill in that area with black, then going down the center make a thick black line, where I guess his mouth would be? 

On the lower corner of his helmet make two half triangles shapes on both sides, with a striper brush with the darker grey paint on it.  

Next we will outline Mano's helmet, take a striper brush with dark grey paint on it then outline the outer part of his helmet, on the top part of the helmet make two lines going down the center, then outline the rectangle above his eyes. 

Grogu on the Thumb Nail:

Last by far form lest is our favorite green dude, Grogu, Baby Yoda, The Child, on the thumb nail. For Grogu's body color if you don't have a light green mix mainly white and a little bit of green to make very light green. 

In the middle of the nail make an oval shape for Grogu's head fill that in, then make two ears on the side of his head.  

For the center part of his ears take a detail brush with a peach colored paint on it and make a triangle shape in the ears.

For his face first make his nose, by making a small curve with a striper brush with dark green paint on it (I made his nose first to know where to place everything else, like his eyes). Then make a small curve under the nose for his little smile. Then make a few lines on his forehead for his little wrinkles. 

Next make two small ovals for his eyes and fill that in with black paint. Then make two smaller white dots for his pupils.

For part of his rope, make a small rectangle with brown paint under his head and fill that in, and then take that peach color paint and make a small line in the middle of his robe. We are just going to make this part of his rope to kind of keep it simple and to have a floating Groug head. 

For the final touch you can also outline your Grogu with a dark green paint. 

Once your nails are all ready to see the new Mando and Grogu movie, apply a top coat to seal in your nails and to make them last. 

Practice version of Mando and Grogu

Hope all of you enjoyed this Mando and Grogu nail design along with the movie, we did see the movie, my hubby and I on Friday May 22. I liked the movie I am a Grogu fan and I loved every scene that he was in he is so cute. I do recommend seeing Mando and Grogu in theaters and was a good movie for any long time Star Wars fans our just Grogu fans.
