Thanksgiving Minion Nail Tutorial :)

Happy Monday Everybody!! We only have a few more days until Thanksgiving, yay!! All the yummy turkey, ham, mashed potatoes, and my favorite, pumpkin pie. Yummm. Just be sure not to forget the true meaning of thanksgiving. Think about all the blessings you have in your life and everything that you should be thankful for. Take a minute and just think about it. Even if your life doesn't seem the greatest at the moment, there are still a million things to be greatful for. So, to celebrate thanksgiving I decided to do Thanksgiving nails of course. 

But, I couldn't just do any old Thanksgiving nails! Look at these! They're little pilgrim minions! They're so stinkin cute! Lol. If you would like how to see how to get these cute little guys, then be sure to stay and read on. :)

Alright, so first, I of course just started with my base coat colors.

Then, I decided to work on the pilgrim minions. I took a yellow polish and painted on the bodies.

Next, I took a brown polish, and the smallest dotting tool and painted on the hat.

Next, I took a grey polish and the largest dotting tool and dotted on the eyes. I also took the brown again and at the very bottom of the nail, I painted on a little rectangle for the shirt of the minions.

Then, I finished most of the little details on the pilgrim minion nails. I took a smaller dotting tool and used white polish and dotted on the eyes, and then the smallest dotting tool and used black polish to dot on the pupils. Then I took the smallest dotting tool and black polish again and drew a line from the goggles to the sides of the nails on both sides. I painted on the smile using the small dotting tool as well. And, I also dotted on two small buttons on the brown shirt in the corners.

Then, to finish up these nails, I took the small dotting tool and the brown polish and drew lines from the shirt up to the sides of the nails on both sides diagonally.

And that's all it took for the pilgrim minions. Now for the turkey minions! To start on these nails, I took the large dotting tool, and a bunch of Thanksgiving themed colors, and created a 'turkey feather' background on the nails.

Then, I painted on the bodies of the minions on top of the feathers.

Next, I took the grey and the black polish and dotted on the goggles for the eyes, and the mouths. I chose to do open mouths for the turkey minions.

I then took a red polish and painted on the shirt for these minions and then I took a white polish and dotted on the eyes on top of the goggles.

Next, I finished the details of the mouth. I took the smallest dotting tool and a light pink polish and made the tongue. And then the small dotting tool and white polish and dotted on the teeth.

Next, I finished up the eyes. I dotted on the pupils with the black polish, and then drew lines from the goggles to the sides of the nails with black polish as well.

Then lastly, I just added my topcoat and these nails were all finished! I use Essie's Good to Go Topcoat.

Tada!! All finished and adorable!
