Epic Tenth Doctor, Doctor Who Nails!

My girlfriend Sarah is a HUGE Doctor Who fan, specifically for the 10th Doctor. SO as a treat for her trip (she's visiting from California for a few days) I did her nails a la David Tennant's Who.

She LOVES them, won't stop thanking me for them (seriously, sweetie, knock it off!).

For reference I used these pages:
Converse nails
Galaxy Nails
Doctor Who Nails by PrettyWonderful
The Girl Who Waited (for the Dalek and TARDIS)

So here we go!
Bases for Dalek, TARDIS, and the galaxies.

Bases for 10th Doctor 3D Glasses, Converse, and the galaxies.
On her, I used a basecoat by Jordana. One of her nails recently broke, and was short, so I put the 2 coats of the Garlic Growth base on that one and the rest of them had Strengthening.

Next, I started freehanding the accent nails.
David Tennant in 3D Glasses and a Converse sneaker

The Tardis and a Dalek
Then I added the Galaxy nails.



They turned out well :)


Sarah is very happy with these, and I am too :D I wish I'd used smaller details on the Dalek, but other than that I have no regrets!

Hope you guys enjoyed, please share!!

Doctor Who FAIL

A LOT of my friends (and some family!) are Doctor Who fans/nerds (also known as Whovians), and my cousin sent me this, asking if I could do them, to which I replied that I wanted to, I was just scared I was going to mess them up.... And I did. :'(

My first one turned out REALLY well. The ones after them... not so much.

I really, really thought his one turned out well!

And then the rest happened -_- (The one next to the TARDIS is the first one. The one with the blue splotch in the middle fell over when it was still wet)

Can you even tell that's the TARDIS?
So yeah, I f*cked up. The TARDIS doesn't look like the TARDIS, the Sonic Screwdriver doesn't look like a Sonic Screwdriver, and most of my Universe nails just look like pink blobs. Ah well, next time! Just gotta keep working on freehanding.

If you want to know what/who the Doctor is, go on Netflix. It's the most awesome show ever, just another amazing gem by the British :)

Do you have any suggestions, tips, or techniques as to how I could have done better? Please leave them in the comments!
