Exterminate! Exterminate! Exterminate!

Hello fellow whovians! Not a whovian? Don't know what a whovian is? Well a whovian is a fan of the BBC show Doctor Who. Never seen it? Well its on netflix go check it out! Back to the reason I made this blog...
These nails were done by me! My cousin and I are major Doctor Who fans. I promised her I would do her nails and thought Daleks would look super amazing! I also thought it would be amazing if I shared with you guys a tutorial on how simple it is to recreate this look!
You need 2 nail polish colors, top coat, nail glue, nail polish remover, nail brush, doter, cutical scissors, tweezers, nail gems, nail stripping tape, & shot glass (or something to drip nail polish on).

Lets Get started! Now you can make your Daleks what ever color you choose. She chose once upon a time by wet & wild. So I applied one coat to each nail. While waiting for the nails to dry I cut the nail striping tape about the width of her nail. Make sure you cut enough for each nail to have two stripes if you have longer nails you could do more. Using tweezers apply the nail striping tape close to the nail bed leaving enough room for a gem to be placed in the center later. Apply the second nail striping tape under the first leaving a little space between the two stripes. After you have placed all of your stripes on all of your nails use cutical scissors to cut off the excess tape. Now time for the Dalek bumps. I used the bottom of a shot glass to add a couple of drops of love my blackberry by ulta, It makes it easier to dip your doter in. I started adding dots to the center then worked my way outward so they didn't look lopsided. After dotting all the dalek bumps get your nail glue and place a dot of it in the center close to your nail bed. Then carefully add your gem to make the dalek eye stalk. Almost done! I then used a nail paint brush and dipped it into nail polish remover to clean up any mistakes. Add two layers of top coat and you're done.

I have made a Luvocracy collection and put everything you need in it. If you sign up for your free @luvocracy account you can purchase everything from one website! Simple as that!!!
