Animal Crossing New Leaf Nail Art: Reese and Cyrus

Hi chums!! I don't know if I'll make a new series from this, but I definitely might cause I am an Animal Crossing fangirl. Especially the newest game New Leaf, I adored Wild World on the DS (I did some nail art ;) but I think I've improved since then, just have your eyes burnt with the fiery orange photo) but New Leaf is really a step up, a really amazing step up. I'd happily do all the nail art on Animal Crossing cause I'm so obsessed, it's the perfect summer game.
I only got the game recently when I got my 3DS after my exams (which it's amazing guys, the Streetpass features alone make it worth it, if you know what I'm talking, you KNOW what I'm talking about ;)) with New Leaf and I'm totally enamoured with the characters I'm going to show you today. I've also realised that this mani totally perfectly fits this month's Lacquer Legion theme of Fandom, I've been meaning to join the fray but I've been too busy over the last 7 months or so. But I have the nail art this month!!
AHHHHHH ANIMAL CROSSING!!!

So Reese and Cyrus are alpacas, Reese is the girl (who's adorable!!) and Cyrus is the guy and they run the new shop Re-tail (which is the best shop ever).
I'm very happy with how I managed to paint them, I think I got them accurately and capturing the essence of their characters. I also really really like the heart print going on, so simple but so cute!! But genuinely Reese and Cyrus are so precious, oh yeah they're married too!! :P

At Re-tail (pun) you can sell your stuff (they give a better price than the Nooks), recycle old items and Cyrus can customize your furniture which is a new thing in this game and it's awesome. It's why I have a really cool white grand piano sitting in my house haha. Seriously incredible new characters for the game and I had to salute them in nail art hehe!!
So painting wise I got my toothpicks, for Reese and Cyrus I started with a white base and filled in the details. I started with the hair for both of them cause it's a significant part of them :)

Even if you don't know about the game hopefully you were still able to enjoy this post, thanks so much for reading and I hope you have a wonderful day!!!! :)

Geek Nail Challenge: Animal Crossing

It's the final week of the challenge :( Ultimate geek. I don't think I'm an "Ultimate geek" in any aspects. But I did nail art inspired by the game that got me into Nintendo, something that I'm a pretty big geek about.

As suspected by the title, that game was Animal Crossing: Wild World. I had played some Nintendo games before that, but I wasn't really exposed to gaming and I knew nothing about different platforms or anything. I was maybe around 8 when I played Animal Crossing. That game... Who knew mundane tasks could be so fun? That game can absorb your life if you let it. Yes it's that addictive.

I could not get this to photograph properly, my natural lighting place couldn't be used today cause it got dark SO early (mild exaggeration)!!! My camera wouldn't focus, lighting problems and all that business.

I painted a few characters from the Animal Crossing series, I chose random characters as I don't really have favourite characters from Animal Crossing. I probably painted them too small and it would've been easier if I painted them bigger (but I never make things easy for myself -_-). But they're cuter when they're smaller ^_^ On my thumb is the generic girl character (can also have brown hair etc. depending on how you answer the questions at the beginning), then from left to right it's Sable, Tom Nook, KK Slider and Brewster.

My detailed orientated self is obviously not completely pleased with the neatness, but it's still cute (it looks better in real life though, I promise). I really like Sable's pink freckles :3
Blue: Barry M - Blueberry Ice Cream
Light pink: Barry M - Strawberry Ice Cream
Pink: Per Una - Pink (no name)
Peach: w7 - Linen
Red: Essie - E-Nuff Is E-Nuff
Pale yellow: w7 - Sheer Lemon
Yellow: Rimmel - Sunshine
Light brown: Paris Collection - Cocoa Drop
Brown: Paris Collection - Mauve Melody
Dark brown: w7 - Brownie
Green: OPI - Jade Is The New Black
Black: Lovely Me:Ex - Black
White: Models Own - Snow White
(It's probably sad that I really like listing the polishes I used :/)
Took me a long time, but I am happy with the outcome. It was also refreshing working with a white nail polish that wasn't gloop city.

I've had so much fun with this challenge, and check out everyone else doing the challenge :D
