Tutorial: Creeper's Gonna Creep!



This week I've been sucked right back into the addictive world of Minecraft, and when I say addictive I mean you can wave away countless hours away as they go trotting off into the horizon.

Seeing as I'm basically seeing in pixel blocks it seems only fitting for my nails match!

To achieve this look you'll need:

Base (to brighten the neon green): Snow Me White by Sinful Colours
Neon Green: Unmarked Boxset of neons by Primark (4 pack £2)
Stamping Green: Exotic Green by Sinful Colours at Boots
Other green: Whatcha by Hello Kitty at Superdrug
White squares: Barry M Nail Art Pen
Plate: Cheeky CH3
Tools: Toothpick

How-to:

1. Paint on a clear base.
2. One layer of white.
3. Two layers of neon green.
4. Use the 'Exotic Green' with the stamping plate CH3. This will be pale and offer a different green than having painted it on flat.
5. Use the Barry M white nail art pen to carefully paint a few odd white squares.
6. Place a blob of an alternate green on a piece of cardboard.
7. Use the toothpick, dot it in the blob and carefully draw and fill in a few random sqares.
8. Repeat 6&8 again with one more colour.
9. Wait for everything to dry and use the top coat.
10. (Optional) Add a creeper face in by painting the squares shown in the creeper pic with a black varnish.

It's tricky to get it neat, especially on the opposite hand to your main hand. Mine is not as neat as I wish it had been but I've not done this before and it was more of a trial.

Hope you like it.. and no, the nails don't explode when they get too close to something! ;)
