Mrs. Pacman!

One of my favorite things to do is play classic video games. I love Pacman because of the simplicity of the game and also the pressure of avoiding those pesky ghosts. I wanted to go with a more girly look for all of those girl gamers out there so I chose Mrs. Pacman instead. With the pink tip and the red lipstick, who wouldn't want to wear this fun look. Let's get started!
After laying down a thick layer of base coat use your favorite black nail polish to as your base color. I used Razzle Dazzler by O.P.I.'s Nicole line because it lays an even coat and drys fairly quickly. I then used a new color I've gotten which is also in the Nicole line by O.P.I. for the pink tip called City-Pretty Rose. I didn't tape the line off and it is very apparent. I'm actually not at my home right now so all of my supplies are not available to me but I'm doing the best I can with what I have. I then used the top of a pin to create the white 'food' dots with O.P.I.'s Alpine Snow. after letting that dry I went in with my Mellow Yellow by Sally Hansen's Xtreem wear line and created the Mrs. Pacman shape on my thumb. I used Hot Topic's Blue and an eyeliner brush to create the ghosts and then went back with Pure Ice's Siren to create the lips and bow on Mrs. Pacman. I went in with an orange stick to create the slit for her eyes and her beauty mark in black. The pin top was used again to create the white eyes of the ghosts and I used a toothpick to create the pupils of the eyes. Finish off with your favorite top coat and let air dry! I hope you enjoy this whimsical look and have fun creating it! Good luck everyone!
