Eeeeeeee!!! I chose to paint the members of Oozma Kappa, I was originally going to just paint Mike and Sulley, but I thought that was rather Monsters Inc (which I also love) and I wanted to challenge myself. So all the Oozma Kappa members it was. I actually love them all, they are such a fun bunch and as the movie portrays for monsters, they really aren't all that scary.
This definitely was a challenge, just getting everything looking right, and I used the actual animation pictures for reference so I had to cartoon them myself. Also there are 6 members of Oozma Kappa and I have 5 nails for this design so some liberties had to be made, I think I compromised well though. So we've got Sulley, Terri and Terry, Art, Don Carlton, Mike and Squishy. I really don't think I can pick a favourite character out of them as they were all fantastic.
At first I wasn't so impressed with my painting, but as I've worn this just the rag-tag group of them make me so HAPPY!! The film gave me ultimate happy vibes in general.
I want this film on DVD so bad so I can watch it ALL. THE. TIME. Clearly I'm not the only one who feels this way as these nails went down a storm at school. I've been thinking of making a Monsters University nail art series, as so many scenes from the movie inspired me (and as you know I LOVED the film) and more excuses to declare my love for this film are never bad things.
Painting wise I did the colours of the characters then did the black and white. That white pen smudges so badly but I covered it up as you do.

Black: Lovely Me:Ex - Black
Purple: Illamasqua - Jo'Mina
Light Brown: Ciate - Cookies & Cream

Dark Brown: w7 - Brownie

Additional Colours

Terri and Terry: Orange: Models Own - Beach Party

Ron Carlton: Pink: Essie - Your Hut Or Mine?
Mike: Blue: Nails Inc - Baker Street
Squishy: Peach: w7 - Linen
