Playstation 5 Nail Design

Hello everyone! Today on the blog we will be creating some nerdy nails, Playstation 5 nails. It has been a while since we creating some nerdy nails, so I thought it would be fitting to create a nerdy design again. Back in 2015 I created a Playstation 4 nail design, and not too long ago late 2020 Sony related their newest system, the Playstation 5. This design is very similar to the Playstation 4 design, the only different is the base color is white (just like the system) and on the thumb we have a character from a game called Astro Playroom.   

Here are the polish and nail art tool tools use to create this fun nerdy nail design:

Base and top coat- CND Stickey Base Coat and Revlon Extra Life No Chip top coat.

Polish- Sally Hansen- Hard as Nails- Hard to get.

Acrylic Paint- Black, blue and white. 

Nail art tools- Large dotting tool, thin stripper brush and thin detail brush.

Other- Cup of water to clean off your nail art brushes.

Apply a base coat. Let that dry.

Polish all of your nails white, the same color as the PS5. I know you are probably thinking if you have followed this blog for a while, all white nails! Knowing I hate to polish my nails all white, but unfortunately the PS5 is all white, so I had to polish them all white for this design. 😑

Let that dry.

Starting with the buttons on the controller. All of the buttons I painted by hand with no stencil. All though I kind of wish I would have used some nail stripping/ nail art tape to try and get the lines to look more cleaner. But this does give it a hand done look, which I am okay with. 

With a thin stripper brush with grey paint on it (I mixed white and a very small amount of black, to make a very light grey.) On the index nail make a triangle, middle finger nail a circle, the ring finger an X, and lastly a square on the pinky finger nail.

Lastly the hard part Astro from Astro's Playroom. First make black square with rounded edges,  then fill that in. Then make a square with rounded edges with white, this is for his helmet. For his antenna make two curved lines that come together and a blue dot at the end. 

For his body make a half oval and another oval in that with a light blue and a curve at the top, then fill that in. For his arms make square shape on both sides of his body, on the left arm make three small squares, and the last square make that one blue. 

For his cape make a thick squiggly line with blue paint, on the right side. 

Then back to his face with a large dotting tool with blue paint on it, make two large dots in the center of his face for his eyes. 

For the final touch with your thin stripper brush outline the four sides with blue, and the rest of your character with a light grey, the head and body where it is needed. 

Once you have your nerdy nails the way you like apply a topcoat to seal in your design and to help it to last. 

Hope all of you enjoyed this Playstation 5 nail design!

See you next time for more nail fun!

Which one is your favorite the PS4 or PS5 design? I kind of like both, other then the PS5 design I had to paint my nails the color I hate, white. I also do really like the Astro robot that I made on my thumb for the PS5 design. I didn't want to create the PlayStation logo again for this design so I came up with the idea to make Astro.
