After that I made back plates or whatever it’s called with a darker green and then I dabbed another green color on the body with a sponge. Then I outlined the lower parts of the body with a darker green :D<br/><br/>Hope this helps!</p> <p>And oh, I used acrylic paint, not nail polish :) It’s much easier to make details!</p>http://petra-elf.tumblr.com/post/25313368450http://petra-elf.tumblr.com/post/25313368450Sun, 17 Jun 2012 16:36:35 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5oi0eNFYb1rvgtaqo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Dinosaur nails</p>http://petra-elf.tumblr.com/post/25182729157http://petra-elf.tumblr.com/post/25182729157Fri, 15 Jun 2012 17:50:38 -0400nailsnail polishnail artdinosaurdinonail designstegosaurus<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5ohrjYBcj1rvgtaqo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Dinosaur nails </p>http://petra-elf.tumblr.com/post/25182396113http://petra-elf.tumblr.com/post/25182396113Fri, 15 Jun 2012 17:45:19 -0400nailsnail artnail designdinosaurdinonail polishpolishstegosaurus<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m59i9io44j1rvgtaqo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Summer nails!</p>http://petra-elf.tumblr.com/post/24625209020http://petra-elf.tumblr.com/post/24625209020Thu, 07 Jun 2012 15:32:00 -0400Nailsbluechina glazegrassgreennail artnail art addictnail designnail polishsummerclouds<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4zmjtiBlL1rvgtaqo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>A simple tape mani accent nail.</p>http://petra-elf.tumblr.com/post/24255038693http://petra-elf.tumblr.com/post/24255038693Sat, 02 Jun 2012 07:28:40 -0400nail artnail designnailsnailnail polishOPICGpolishBluetape<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4r3idwioj1rvgtaqo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Cherry mani. :)</p>http://petra-elf.tumblr.com/post/23950662205http://petra-elf.tumblr.com/post/23950662205Mon, 28 May 2012 16:56:37 -0400Nail artnialsnail designnail polishpolishnail art addictcherrycherriessummergrassredwhitegreen
