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!
I don't know why, but I seem to be forever on a quest to find the perfect adaptation of Homura Akemi nail art. Therefor, today I have come up with another interpretation of her nails. They are just purple nails with gems in the shape of a diamond on the middle finger. You can see my first interpretation here. MadDog out!
You know how I've painted my own design on shirts before? Well, I've altered some more shirts just like this. (You can check out my previous "DIY Dork Shirts" here.)This time around I've made a bunch of Homestuck shirts. This is pretty great because I can either wear them as part of a normal outfit (and have it automatically be considered casual cosplay) or I can use them in an actual cosplay! The shirts I have here belong to Rose Lalonde, Gamzee Makara, and Sollux Captor. That's what I've been up to recently. I've also been working on my Levi cosplay so you all should have an update on that soon as well. MadDog out!
Hello people (and others)! Today I shall being showing you my Jack Skellington nail art. It's really quite simple if you want to try it out yourself. First, you want to paint your nails white. Then take some black nail polish and draw little jack faces on them. It has come to my attention that this part is a lot easier said than done so I offer you another way to accomplish this look: wait until you nails are COMPLETELY dry and then use a sharpie to draw the Jack faces on. If you use this method make sure to add a top coat so that the sharpie doesn't just rub off. That's all for today. Hope you enjoyed. MadDog out!

Hello again! I bring you more Fullmetal Alchemist themed shoes. This time around, they are more closely themed with the character Pride. I've made converse with Flamel symbols on them (Click Here to See) and flats with manga pages from Fullmetal Alchemist on them (Click Here to See) but now I bring you converse painted with shadows! All I did was use some fabric paint on some old shoes to achieve this dorky and amazing look. Hope it was worth a look. MadDog out!
So, this is also going to be a thing. As much as I like everyday cosplay, believe it or not there are times you need to just wear casual clothes or you need to actually get dressed up for something. I however, am now introducing this new section on showing you the awesome things you can do to be a dork even through these bizarre times of actually having a social life. ^U^ Kay? To start this off, I'm just going to show you something you can do with your nails (because if characters have interesting nails you can always imitate them and paint your nails the way that they do). To
start out, I'm just going to say, I was just going to paint my nails the exact way Homura Akemi's (Puella Magi Madoka Magica) are, but I was out of the purple I needed so I decided to do something a little different. I painted my nails in generally the usual way I paint them (black with some sort of sparkles and a different color ring finger) but this time, I taped off a diamond on my middle finger while I was painting it. That way, it was a small reference to Homura and I could still show my inner geeky-ness on the outside. Hope you enjoyed this post! MadDog out!
