Tutorial #3 - Warriors of Light [Part Two of five]

Part two is Black mage! Now a warning, these did not turn out very lovely. XDDD But I guess I'll post them anyway, because I said I would. xp My white mage ones that will be posted on thursday are MUCH nicer. :3

Step One:
Clean up your nails, and put down your base coat. The usual stuff. I used a black base coat, and then put a very thin layer of dark blue over top. On it's own, you would need about three coats of the dark blue to make it opaque. So putting it over the black gave the black just a slight blue ish shimmer.

Step Two:
Using a gold, or a tan coloured polish, paint a little black mage hat... I started with the line for the brim, done with the edge of the brush, then made a triangle-like shape on top. Put a bit of a dip on it, too, where the hat folds over. :3

Step Three:
Using either the same colour used on the hat, or a more metallic gold colour, use the edge of your brush to do another line, going in whichever direction you please. I did mine going straight up. Once it dries, use red, yellow, or light blue (Firaga, Thundaga, Blizzaga. Duh.) to put a little orb on the end of the rod. :3 I didn't do this, but you could also make the rod casting a spell, some how. :p Maybe just a couple of little flicks of colour coming from the "orb". Could be cute. I didn't do it, though. XD

I also used the dark blue to put a little sash on the hat. Like I said, the black mage nails are not my best work... :/ But I'm still posting them because I said that I would. : p Tomorrow, I'll post the tutorial for the warrior nails. I didn't take as many pictures as I probably should have, but oh well, I guess... Still pondering what to do next week... Kindly let me know if you think of a fun idea~ :3
