Despicable Me Minion Nail Art

I wouldn't say I'm obsessed with Despicable Me, but it's a damn cute movie and I definitely enjoyed it. So when a polish friend on FB posted her Minion nails in honor of Despicable Me 2 coming out tomorrow, I decided I needed to do a Minion mani too!

I started with a base of two coats of Layla Softtouch Limoncello. My minions shimmer, so what? Limoncello is a bit of a chameleon. Sometimes it's more yellow and sometimes more green--and since I am conflicted on the actual color of minions, this was perfect. The end of the post will have pictures to show what I mean. Using a striping brush and a small dotting tool, I simply drew the minion overalls and eyes. It was actually pretty quick art! Then pulling from the blue in the overalls, I did a quick gradient tip with Cirque Polish Ophelia.

This manicure makes me go squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. I love looking at these cuties on my nails!

Without the glitter gradient. I liked it, but I wanted more OOMPH to the art.

Will you be checking out the movie tomorrow? I hope to, if not, for sure this weekend! I'll post my Fourth of July mani soon but meanwhile, if you're looking for inspiration, check out my fireworks manicure from last year HERE.
