Disney Princess Nails: Tiana

Down in New Orleans…  These nails are inspired by the princess Tiana from the movie The Princess and the Frog (2009).  Each month I will bring you a new set of nails based on a Disney princess, in the order of their release.

You’ll need:

Base coat

Top coat (I prefer Seche Vite)

Striper brush

Lime, mint and medium green, black, red, purple, white, gold, and yellow nail polishes  (I used: Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear in 02 Green With Envy; Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear in 340 Mint Sorbet; OPI Nail Lacquer in Don’t Mess With OPI; Sally Hansen Hard as Nails in 880 Black Heart; Sally Hansen Diamond Strength in 89 Honeymoon Red; Sephora by OPI in Stop Stocking Me!; Sally Hansen Hard as Nails in 110 Hard to Get; Love My Nails in Gold Dust; and Pure Ice in Excuse Me)

Start with a base coat then paint every nail lime green.

On your pinky nail, use the striper brush dipped in black to create a small top hat then add a red stripe.  Dip the striper brush in white to create skull and crossbones on the hat and add a purple feather to the right side.

On your ring and index fingers, use the striper brush dipped in mint green to create Tiana’s leafy headpiece.  Dip the brush in medium green to outline the headpiece and add definition in the middle of the leaves.

Use the striper brush in medium green to outline the head of the frog prince on your middle finger.  Add two small eyebrow shapes in medium green and white eyes directly beneath them.  Make a large white grin, and then dip the brush in gold to finish the eyes and add detail to the smile.  Add small medium green smile lines at the corners of the mouth.

On your thumb, use the striper brush in yellow to make a small trumpet then outline and define the shape with gold.

Finish with a top coat and you’re done!
