I recently saw the movie Inside Out with my parentals and what a hoot! Seriously a great film, super funny and wonderful for helping children regulate their emotions. Love a movie with a witty script and psychological benefits!
Any the who, obviously a nail design must ensue, capturing the quirky characters Joy, Sadness, Fear, Anger and Disgust.
You will need:
Sunshine yellow polish - O.P.I I Just Can't Cope-A-Cabana
Moody blue polish - Essie I'm Addicted
Very violet polish - Covergirl XLPlumped-Up Plum
Blood red polish - O.P.I Big Apple Red
Grass green polish - O.P.I You Are So Outta Lime
Dark purple polish - Barry M Indigo
White polish - Face of Australia Cool Cotton
Black polish - Essence Black is Back
Base coat - Revlon Quick Dry Base Coat
Fast drying top coat - Essence quick dry topcoat
Top coat - Seche Vite
Dotting tools
Striping brushes
Start with a base coat and then paint each nail a different colour to match the 5 emotions represented in the movie
Add a layer of fast drying top coat to ensure the white we use for the eyes over the colour isn't blended
Take your white polish and use dotting tools and striping brushes with white polish to create the different shaped eyes.
Now add details to the eyes to really show their personalities.
Joy - oval eyes with a blue outline, blue iris and arched blue eyebrows
Sadness - round eyes with blue iris and black glasses frames
Fear - round eyes with purple iris and concerned purple eyebrows
Anger - trapezium eyes with red iris and frowning eyebrows
Disgust - cat-like eyes with green iris and fluttering eyelashes
Leave plenty of time for the designs to dry and add a glossy top coat taking care to glide, not drag, the brush across the nail
