Mickey Mouse Toes

[karri868]

I LOVE this thread! I can't wait to get my mani/pedi before I go back to The World in April! I'm definitely interested in getting something Minnie done to my nails, and now I have wonderful pictures to show them! I will upload pics when I get mine done

I went the other day for a pedicure and was not happy how the mickey head turned out, it was too big and not very well defined(she tried to paint it with the brush instead of doing 3 dots. So I went and found matching polish and got a nail design kit with black, white and glitter polishes with the thin brushes and redid my big toes. I used the end of a childs paint brush to make the dots and used the nail kit to do the design. It took a few tries but this is what they look like for our upcoming trip. I think they turned out great for an amateur!

I borrowed this design for my trip this past Dec (and plan on using it again for my upcoming May trip). I printed off this picture and took it to my nail tech and told her I wanted this on both my toes and fingers. She tried to argue that I had the pink and white solar nails, but I told her to fill them as usual, then paint over them. I thought she was going to have a heart attack. She did a fantastic job though. We used the OPI Cha Ching Cherry color though, because I wanted a brighter pinky red color.

I have the croc pic from the first page of this thread saved to my computer from 2 years ago! I loved the idea and this will be the 3rd year for me and my girls to do this! Glad to have this thread revived as well! I have some new ideas now, thanks!

I'm going in two weeks, and making a pedi appointment right now! These are all so CUTE!

 

[sydneysmom]

I'm a nail tech at a spa, and I don't do the best Mickey heads, but my boss does!

I got so many compliments from people while we were down there, especially from Minnie, herself.

That is TOO CUTE !!!!!! I love this !!!!

Okay so I know this is supposed to be toes, but have you ever known a kid who could smash his finger in the shape of mickey?
Check out my avatar as I can't figure out how to upload a pic in a post.

You do have to go back to salon to get it removed. I tried the shellac twice in december. 1st time it lasted 2 weeks, no chips. 2nd time.. I had them done to go to disney for our xmas trip. Within 4 days my mani started chipping.

Oh really,that stinks! It's so expencive to begin with but then to go back and pay more money to get it removed!! And if it doesn't last well then it total wasteIwas trying to figure out what I should do since I'll be in DW for about 10 days. I don't wanna look like a little girl with chipped nails Thanks for the help Catira

You do not have to go back for removal. Place a cotton ball saturated with acetone on each nail and wrap with tinfoil. Leave on for 10 min and it will be soft and easy to remove- usually with a swipe of acetone, but you can help it along with an orange stick.

I love shellac!!! You won't be disappointed. (I am almost certain that's Shellac in Fedora color on the hands of the nail tech with Minnie toes.)

Yup, that is the fedora color I had on in that pic.

Also, correct in the acetone removal process. I do nails at two different places where the pricing is very different- one place charges everything for shellac a la carte, so the removal does cost $10, but at the other place the removal is built in, so you don't have to pay anything additional. Whatever you do- do not peel the shellac off! It's terrible for your nails (I should know, I'm a horrible picker- hypocritical, I know).

I just had the forever nail done. I think that is the same as the shellac. I love it. By this time I would not have any polish left. I am very rough on my nails and I was going to get fake ones put on but I really did not want to do it but I wanted nice nails. My nails are not very long but I was able to get a french done and I love it. I am so happy I did it.

I'm not overly artistic, so I'm wondering.... Has anyone ever tried painting their toes, then putting a sticker on there, and then covering it up with clear polish? Would this work??

I am not artistic when it comes to my nails, but I have a nail tech who has done my nails for years. A couple of years ago I saw some cute Tinkerbell nail decals on ebay. I ordered two sets and took them to my nail tech a few days before I left for WDW. My fingernails are always pink and white solar nails, but she painted a bright little thin stripe to make the two colors show up more, then she stuck a Tinkerbell decal on each index finger and also the finger next to the pinkies. She also did a french manicure look on my toes with the same thin sripe of bright paint to seperate the two colors and stuck a Tinkerbell decal on each big toe. She then painted a little swirly design (in silver glitter and the same highlight color she used to paint the stripe on each nail) around each Tinkerbell and then applied a clear top coat and had me bake them under the lights. They lasted for about three weeks before I had to go in anyway for a fill. They stayed really well, but it could be because we used the lights on them.

Sorry for my toes being all dry and stuff... I forgot to take a picture of them before the trip!

I bet it would work. If you go back in this thread to my post, I used gems that stuck on, and then put clear polish over the top.
