Disney Princess Nails: Anna

For the first time in forever…  These nails are inspired by the princess Anna from the movie Frozen (2013).  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

Dotting tool

Neutral, royal blue, light blue, black, magenta, light pink, gold, green, nude, silver, medium brown, gray, and white nail polishes  (I used: NYC Quick Dry in 212 Mulberry Street; Lancôme in a royal blue; OPI in Where’s My Czechbook?; Sally Hansen Hard as Nails in 880 Black Heart; Essie in Big Spender; Pure Ice in Love; Love My Nails in Gold Dust; Sally Girl in Adios; OPI in My Vampire is Buff; Sephora by OPI in Queen of Everything; OPI in You Don’t Know Jacques! Suede; Sephora by OPI in Dance Til Fawn; and Sally Hansen Hard as Nails in 110 Hard to Get)

Start with a base coat.  Paint your pinky nail, middle nail, and thumb neutral, and your ring and index nails with royal blue on the bottom third, black in the middle, and magenta on the top third.

Use the striper brush dipped in light pink to create a few floating hearts on your pinky.

Use the dotting tool dipped in gold to create dots along the edge where the royal blue and black polish meet on your ring and index fingers.  Then use the striper brush dipped in green to create a zig zag line across the edge where the black and magenta meet.

Use the striper brush to create Anna’s chin and mouth, and the top of her dress and cloak on your middle finger.  Then add two long brown braids, with a neutral piece woven through the left braid.

Use the striper brush to create the gray outline of a troll’s face on your thumb.  Then use the striper brush and dotting tool to add some definition and the details of his face, as well as his mossy hair.

Finish with a top coat and you’re done!
