31DC2014 Day 23: Inspired By A Movie

So this day in the challenge was when I started to really get not inspired to do anything at all haha! I had ran out of ideas and I needed some form of inspiration desperately, so I did what I usually do when that happens: I turned to Cutepolish!

Polishes used:

Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Mellow Yellow (yellow crème - original formula) - base color

Sephora by OPI Iris I Was Thinner (light purple crème - lighter than what's shown in the photo) - base color

China Glaze First Mate (navy blue crème) - yellow minions' pants

Wet n Wild Black Crème (black crème) - purple minions' pants, mouths, pupils, goggle straps, & yellow minions' hair

China Glaze Mahogany Magic (medium warm brown crème) - yellow minions' eyes

China Glaze Grape Pop (medium purple crème) - purple minions' eyes

(?)Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Lacey Lilac (lilac crème - original formula) - purple minions' hair

Sally Hansen Insta-Dri OMGhost! (white crème) - eyes and teeth

OPI Haven't The Foggiest (metallic pewter) - goggles

I knew I wanted to do something from an animated movie, and since Cutepolish has two different minions tutorials, I figured why not do those? I pretty much followed her tutorials for the yellow minions here, and the purple minions here, but with a few differences. I didn't use an actual googly eye, so I just painted the eyes on using polish and dotting tools. I also added colored irises, I used a metallic grey for the goggles instead of a crème, and I gave the yellow minions hair, too.

While this wasn't my favorite day of the challenge, I still really like how it turned out! It's super cute!

Thanks for reading!
