Stitch 626- Lilo & Stitch Design

Hello everyone! Today we will be creating a Lilo and Stitch design, this is one of my favorite Disney movies and I figured why not create a cute Lilo and Stitch design, even thought this movie has been out for a long time now, it was actually released in 2002 (how time flies by.) 

When I first started this blog I did create a Lilo design for all of you based on some of her outfits, but Stitch was not included in that design. Now that I have discovered the wonders of using acrylic paint on the nails, I thought it would be cool to create another one. 

 Stitch 626 Lilo and Stitch Nail Art Design

Just a reminder like the last nail art design I created for all of you, this will not be a step by step tutorial, but I will still explain how the designs was created.

Here are the nail polishes, paints and nail art tools used to create this nail design:

 

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

Polishes- OPI- Hello Kitty- My Pal Joey, Zoya- Renee- Redbook trio, Zoya- Estelle, and Maybelline- Color show veils- blue glaze.

Acrylic paint- white, black, red, blue. Some of these colors will be mixed together to create other colors. 

Nail art brushes- a thin linear and detail brush. 

Other- A glass jar with water in it too clean off your brushes. 
  

Remember to always start off by applying a base coat to all of your nails, then you apply your polish.

 

  Stitch on the thumb nail.

Let's start off with Stitch on the thumb nail. Stitch can be a little bit tricky to create, but just try and keep your hand on the table and take it slow when painting him. For all of the details we will be using acrylic paint.
 

First make Stitch's belly with a light blue. Then to know where to place everything make a small dot for his nose, near the top center part of his face.

Next we will make his mouth, with a light pink make a mouth shape and fill that in. Then with a slightly darker pink make a tongue. 

After you have made his mouth, next make to large light blue ovals for where his eyes will be. Once that has dried make two small black circles in the middle of the large ovals, and then a small white circle in side of the black circles. Then add a small line in the corner of both of his eyes.

For outlining some of Stitch's features, add a line above the big ovals for his eye brows, add two curved lines above his nose, then outline his mouth, make sure to add a line on each side of this mouth, with a curved line on each side for his smile. Also don't forget his little hair near the cuticle.

For a small added detail just add a small light blue curved line under his mouth.    


 

       Lilo's Dress

After we have created Stitch, we will be make Lilo's dress on the index, middle, and pinky finger nails. For the leaves we will use white acrylic paint.

For Lilo's dress she has white tropical leaves all over her dress. To make these leaves, starting from the bottom make a curved line then two more curved lines, then down the center make a straight line that is squared at the top. You can also make half of the leaves on the other parts of your nail in order to fill up your nail. 

Once your leaves have dried, just draw a red line down the middle of each leaf with the same red polish that you used for the base color.

   Ohana means Family! 

Last but far from lest is the important part of the Hawaiian culture Ohana (Family). For this design I decided to include the word Ohana on the ring finger nail, because in the movie they explain the important of it and the true meaning of Family!

For this design for a optional added touch I put a small glitter blue and sliver polish over the blue base color. This is just optional because the blue is already shimmery to begin with. 

With white acrylic paint, starting with the O and write Ohana on the ring finger nail. For this carefully and slowly with you hand resting on the table write the letters.

Once again I decide to share the practice version of this design, just because I felt like I did a good job on the practice.

Final Lilo and Stitch Nail Design   

Once your Lilo and Stitch nail design has dried apply a top coat to protect your nails and your design. 

Hope all of you enjoyed this Lilo and Stitch design!

 See you next time for more nail fun!

Chocoholic- Chocolate Design

Hello everyone! For all you fellow chocolate lovers, that also love nails, then this is the tutorial you will love! This weeks tutorial is kind of Valentine's themed and I should have done this a week before, but really chocolate can be for any time. If you are like me then you love chocolate just as much as doing your nails, so why not combine the two. 

 Yummy Chocolate nails and some of the chocolates that I based my designs off of.

Here are the nail polishes and the few nail tools used to make these chocolate nails:

Base and top coat- Nicole OPI-  3in1- base, top, & strengthener, NYC- Matte Me Crazy topcoat (use a matte top coat, not a glossy one.)

Nail art polishes/ strippers- Kiss nail art- Black and White

Nail polish- NYC- Brownstone, NYC- big apple red creme, Revlon- top speed- Hearts of gold fx (just use the small gold glitter pieces or just a plain gold glitter polish), Maybelline- Color show- Rose rapture, and Nicole by OPI- Love your life. 

Nail tools- Just a dotting tool

The skill level for this chocolate nail design is:

Beginner/ Basic

This design is simple and has kind of a basic look to it, but still looks cool. Their are basic swirls and lines that are found on chocolates. The only thing that might be a little bit tricky is some of the swirls can be a little bit hard to draw, but really, what chocolates look perfect. 

Let's start this yummy chocolate nail design! 

1. Start off with a thin layer of base coat.

2. Apply a brown nail polish to all of your nails.

3. Next we will be doing things a little bit different. After your glossy brown polish has dried, apply a matte top coat to all of your nails to give your nails a chocolatey look. 

4. Now to give your chocolates more of a chocolate candy look, by adding some designs that you see on your favorite chocolates. Take your black nail art stripper polish and draw two horizontal lines side by side, in the middle of the nail.   

5. To finish this chocolate piece we will add a flower in the middle. Take your dotting tool dipped in red polish, make a dot in the middle then four dots around that dot to make a small flower. 

6. For the index nail we will make a swirl design. Take your white nail art stripper start in the corner of the nail make a curved line and then make a loop. 

7. Then make a curved line under that loop, just like the photo above. 

8. Now for the next chocolate. This one is simple with just a few lines for a chocolate drizzle look. Take your black nail art stripper and draw four curved lines down your nail, or a few more or less depending on the length of your nail.   

9. For the pinky nail we will make a gold dusted chocolate, that you might see with some fancier chocolates. Just simply take a gold glitter polish and paint over the brown (I used one with heart glitter in it, and just left the heart out because that is the only gold glitter polish I have, surprisingly.) Now this nail looks a little too shiney and not chocolate like, so we need to apply another coat of matte topcoat.   

10. On the ring finger nail we will make a different swirl design. Take your white nail art stripper polish near the cuticle and create a loop, like in the photo above, then make two more loops to fill up the nail or a few more if your nails are longer. 

11. For the most part on the right hand I did the same design, other than the middle finger nail and the ring finger nail. For the middle finger nail we will make a checkerboard design. To create this design, take your white nail art stripper and draw two vertical lines. 

12. Then draw three horizontal lines. When doing this make sure not to draw too many lines, it seems to look better with fewer lines. 

                                               Right hand chocolate nail design

For the right hand, the index nail for the most part is the same as the left hand, the lines are not curved (refer to step 8), the pinky nail is the same, and the only thing different about the thumb nail is the heart glitter piece. For the polish I used (as stated in my Valentine's day nail design) the heart pieces sunk to the bottom and you need to fish them out. First dab a small amount of the clear glitter base on the nail so the heart glitter can stick, fish out a heart glitter piece, take a toothpick and place the heart on the nail,then apply a small amount of matte topcoat to keep the heart in place. For the ring finger nail just take some pink nail polish and the brush it came with and swipe the pink on the tip and in the middle of the nail.  

  Left hand chocolate nail design

Unlike the other design that we have done you are now finished. No need to add the usual topcoat because that will make your nails look shinny, and we are going for a realistic chocolate look. For the design that we made just leave them shinny, their is no need to add more matte top coat. 

Now your nails look good enough to eat, but don't do that, they may look like chocolate but they won't taste like it. 

Hope all of your enjoyed this chocolate nail design, and if you are anything like me don't eat all of your Valentines day chocolate at once!

See you next time for my next nail design tutorial!
