From a tutorial I found on YouTube, I decided to make comic nail art. There was lots of preparation involved such as finding some vodka (which wasn't so hard to find), white nail polish and pages of manga. I was very sad to cut up volume 6 of Tsubasa Resevoir Chronicles, but it was a cheap second hand version which I haven't got any other book for. Once I'd found small enough faces in the manga, I dipped them in the vodka and pressed the picture face down against my already painted nail.
They turned out okay, in the end I added a small amount of nail polish remover to the vodka mix thinking that on contact the nail polish would melt a bit and the comic would fuse to my nail (in theory) in kind of worked. Anyway, here is the tutorial so you can try it out as well, and hopefully not fail miserably.
Characters from Deadman Wonderland (left to right):
Ganta, Senji, Sukegawa, Minatsuki, Toto and Shiro
I LOVE THIS MANGA! Just saying... It's one of the best I've ever read and it's still ongoing now. It now has 11 volumes full of action, romance and gore! Best combination ever! The story is about the main character is called Igarashi Ganta who is sent to prison for being wrongly convicted of the mass murder of his classmates. The real murderer was a strange "Red Man" which keeps haunting Ganta throughout the story. The death row prison is called "Deadman Wonderland" and prisoners all wear a collar which, if they don't eat "candy", gives out the death sentence. A girl called Shiro, claiming to be childhood friends with Ganta, protects him whilst he's in prison but Ganta, greatful for her help, has no recollection of spending time with her previous to his conviction. The plot thickens when he finds out he has a strange blood power and is sent to to Level G where he finds more people with the same power as him. I don't want to give away too much away because it's such a great story! They have recently developed an Anime to show it's amazingness to the world and was aired in Japan in April last year. So for those of you who don't like reading (which is a shame because I feel it's the closest to the original when it's in a book form, and it's a lot more gory) definitely watch the anime. The opening theme (One Reason- DWB feat. Fade) is really cool and I actually really like it, I don't usually like opening to anime, but I approve of this one.
Minatsuki and Shiro are my favourite characters... Minatsuki because she is a crazy b*tch and Shiro because she's mysterious and I want to cosplay her at some point (I already have the white wig, just need to morph suit... >.<)
Because I love really creepy gory manga, I thought I'd show this one. It's not very long, only 2 volumes, about a girl trying to be a little sister to every boy. Known as "The Strange Lolita" she sits amongst rubbish waiting to ask a boy if he has a little sister. If you reply, you are haunted and tortured by this strange person whom you never really know where or how she came about. All you know is that she's really creepy and I'm glad I'm a girl who has no siblings, and I would never stop to talk to them either! I thought this manga was really good and it's good the story was short, I don't think it would have been good if it kept on going, victim after victim. What I really liked about it was that it delved into her past which I find really interesting to read. Although it turns out to be useless, I thought it was a really good part of the story. If you like horror, definitely read!
