Homestuck Troll Nails

I'm feeling the holiday spirit today, so naturally, I've decided to make a post on how to create the Homestuck troll nails look. Yeah. If you want to re-create this look, you are going to need yellow, orange, red, and clear nail polish. (Or you can be a moron like me and use orange acrylic paint. Facepalm.) You will also need some tape. Well, let's get started already.









STEP ONE:
Make sure your nails are nice and clean. Then, put a full base coat of yellow nail polish on your nails.









 


STEP TWO:
After your nails are COMPLETELY DRY, tape the top third of your nail over. Then paint orange nail polish over the bottom part. When you are done with this, take the tape off. (If you are like and jumped the gun putting the tape on before they were dry, after you take the tape off, you can always retouch the yellow.)

















































STEP THREE:
Make sure your nails are dry and then tape the top two-thirds with tape. Then paint over the bottom part with red nail polish. Once done, remove the tape.








































STEP FOUR:
Again, when your nails are dry, add the top coat of clear nail polish.

STEP FIVE:
When dry, throw on some horns (hhmmmm... maybe I'll make a horn tutorial post) and sit there feeling great. (Cause you know what, you are great. The end.)

Well, I hope that you at least somewhat enjoyed this post. (If you did, make sure to check out my tutorial on Medusa Nails as well.) You can always use this for your actual Homestuck cosplays. (Tip: to make this more accurate, sharpen your nails to a point.) If you like these random nail tutorials, let me know and I'll make more. I apologize for not posting these past few weeks and I also apologize because I've made no progress on my actual cosplays. When I last posted I truly thought that my Seras cosplay (and my Alois cosplay for that matter) would be finished soon however things just decided to get busy on me. Winter break is coming though so I'm hoping that you'll see a whole lot of progress then. Wish me luck. MadDog out!
