Pac Man Nails

We all know the classic game, Pac Man, and hopefully we have all played it too. It is addicting and anyone can play it! Now you can bring your love for classic games into your everyday style! It really doesn't take much time at all and is totally geek chique. 

The fun part about these nails is that almost every nail is different! I tried to capture the whole game on one hand, so hang in there and follow the instructions! You will be using five different colors today...

White, Green, Yellow, Black and Blue

It takes two different kinds of brushes to do these nails; a normal brush and a skinny brush. There are very few things you need to use the skinny brush for, and if you don't have a skinny brush, I've perfected a way for you to make a skinny brush out of one of your own old brushes!

STEPS

 Step 1:

Paint all of your nails a solid black.

Step 2:

Outline all of your nails with a dark blue. In the picture it is hard to see, but it gives it the look of the walls that you see in the game. Super cool, right?

Step 3:

Dot time! You want to put a big dot in the center of your thumb... this will eventually be Pac Man. Then you want to put two smaller dots in the center of your pointer finger, middle and pinky. All these dots are big enough where you can do them with a normal brush!

Step 4:

You want to color in the white dot on your thumb nail yellow. We colored it white in the first place so the yellow would really pop on the black nail. (Sorry my nails look a little messy, I clean them up after, my bad)

Step 5:

So I'm not sure what color you want to do your ghost, but I chose green for mine. They come in all different colors, so it really is up to you! I also used a big brush for him. (mine is a guy) It's simple really, just make a small rectangle, but leave the top end curved. 

Step 6:

With your small brush, put two little dots, as eyes, on your little ghost. 

Step 7:

Ok, we aren't done there! Every ghost as a navy blue pupil. This you will obviously also do with a small brush again. Very steadily put small pupils into of the ghost's white eyes.

 

Step 8:

Last step! You want to pay attention to Mr. Pac Man over on your thumb now. With a normal brush (or small one, which ever one you feel more comfortable with) make a triangle for his mouth and then a black dot for his eye. 

Are you playing Pac Man right now or is that just your nails? Now you're totally geeked out with your super awesome nerd nails. Play on playa, play on Pac Man, that is.
