Nail Art: Harry Potter Characters

I confess that I went a little crazy and decided to do another Harry Potter nail art with 10 characters from the movie. I must say that this is perhaps the hardest challenge I gave myself. Freehand painting Harry Potter characters on my 10 nails tested my endurance. It took me hours (many!) to finish this nail art design. Yes, this is how much I love the Harry Potter series! :)

Since I don't have any false nails to practice with, what I always do is draw my designs on paper first. Sometimes, I use colored pens to have an idea what it will look like in colors. This Harry Potter nail art, is again, in cartoons! I hope you will be able to recognize the characters.

Presenting ...

Harry Potter character nail art by Simply Rins!


As you can see, I also went crazy with the base colors. I think it has to do with the fact that I'm trying to cheer myself up. I'm feeling quite low recently.

I know this need much improvement but I like it as it now.


I hope you enjoyed viewing this Harry Potter nail art as much as I had fun doing it! I topped everything with 2 coats just to make sure it will last me until this weekend. I couldn't bare to take it off too soon. :)

My favorite Harry Potter character is Ron. His facial expressions and natural quirkiness is priceless in many scenes! Who's your favorite?

So, have you watched the latest Harry Potter movie? What do you think?
