Monopoly Manicure

 Monopoly! That childhood memory of so many of 

us, now wear your memories on your nails! It can be useful to have a monopoly board around whilst painting this, just for reference!

These are the varnishes that I used for this design, 

RIO stripers in: red, yellow, pink,blue and black. Rimmel London in Double Decker Red (030) Barry M nail paint in Mint Green (304) and Claire's cosmetics in blue (47)

Firstly paint all your nails two to three coats of green, this is the board.

Firstly the thumb. Based to the 'GO'  square. With your striper write 'GO' at a slight angle to the base of your nail.

Then underneath draw the arrow in a straight line.

Next finger is the Mayfair nail. With the blue nail varnish swipe across the top of your nail to create the coloured band at the top of the square.

 Underneath with a fine brush or striper write Mayfair, this can be difficult so alternately you could just do dots and lines. On the other hand I used the red nail varnish to create the same effect for a different place name.

Third nail!  The chance square. Firstly with the pink or red striper ( I did different on different hands) create the question mark. You can leave it like this or write chance above it.

Next is the electric company, this is quite fiddly but can be simplified. Firstly with a yellow striper draw the top of the light bulb. With the black striper make a square at the bottom of the light bulb and lines coming of the bulb. It can be left like this or once the yellow is dry you can draw the lines inside like I have below.

And last but not least, free parking! With the red striper draw the shape of the car but leaving a little square for the back window (or paint it on with white later!) With black add wheels and the little spare wheel. Now because I have small nails I could't write but if you are painting on to falsies you might be able to add writing!

I really hope you enjoyed this tutorial! It was really fun to do! Enjoy wearing and playing Monopoly!
