With Dis­ney on the brain because of our Dis­ney World trip (and as part of a spon­sored post for Col­lec­tive Bias®), we had fun doing some DIY Disney-inspired nail art using Sally Hansen nail prod­ucts! I actu­ally did my Min­nie Mouse-inspired pedi­cure before our trip. Then, when we got back, we had a fun fam­ily week­end with my cousin’s high school grad­u­a­tion, my birth­day, and belated Mother’s Day cel­e­bra­tions. So, I let my 10-year old cousin & her friend pick out some fun Disney-inspired nail art they would like to do and we had a girls mani/pedi after­noon! Here are the fun results:

There were three dif­fer­ent themes: Win­nie the Pooh, Min­nie Mouse, and Cin­derella. My cousin and her friend said they love Win­nie the Pooh and so they each wanted to do slightly dif­fer­ent Pooh man­i­cures! Then we did Cinderella-inspired “fancy” toes on them. My favorite pedi­cure color is red, so I opted for turn­ing my usual look into a Min­nie Mouse theme! It was per­fect for our Dis­ney Social Media Moms trip!

Here’s how we cre­ated each look…

Win­nie the Pooh Nails

We started with 4 col­ors of Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear pol­ishes — a yel­low, orange, pink, and blue (to rep­re­sent Pooh, Tig­ger, Piglet, and Eey­ore). Color names:

• Sun Kissed
• Bub­ble Gum Pink
• Pacific Blue
• Mel­low Yellow

Dif­fer­ent color nails seem to be all the rage right now (a sort of “pop art” look), so the tween girls were quite excited about doing it this way! The first step was to just paint the nails those four col­ors. The girls decided which color they wanted on each nail and which color to dupli­cate. Next up is doing the details which make the Win­nie the Pooh theme really obvi­ous. For that, we used Sally Hansen Nail Art Pens! The pens are awe­some for doing details! We wouldn’t have been able to do this with­out them! For these nails, we used black, white, and sil­ver nail art pens. For the hon­ey­bees, Pooh face and Tig­ger stripes, we used black. One of the girls wanted black stripes for “Piglet” and one chose sil­ver. Then, for “Eey­ore”, I drew on a lit­tle sil­ver bow. It didn’t pop as much as they wanted on the blue though. So, they had me out­line it in white and put a black dot in the cen­ter. The end results are pretty fun! You can see that each girl chose some­thing just a lit­tle dif­fer­ent, but both are super cute! My favorite is the Pooh face and hon­ey­bees. It was a lit­tle tough try­ing to free­hand the designs, espe­cially on such tiny fin­ger­nails. But, I think it turned out pretty well. The Sally Hansen nail art pens worked great and the girls thought the final out­come was “so cool”!!

Cinderella-inspired Nails

Need:

• Sally Hansen Gem Crush Blue “Blingtastic”,
• Sally Hansen Com­plete Salon Man­i­cure “Debut-tint”
• Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear “White On”

To cre­ate the look, we started by paint­ing their toes white. Then once that was dry to the touch, we painted over it with the sparkly “Debut-tint”. It’s a really pretty sort of whiteish-gold sparkly pol­ish. I have that by itself on my fin­ger­nails and really like it! Then, the last step was adding the blue Gem Crush paint on the tips! It cre­ated such a fun sparkly look in per­fect Cin­derella colors!

Minnie-Mouse Nail Art

I love the way these turned out! They were per­fect for our Dis­ney World trip! And, I think I’m going to touch them up for a Dis­ney­land media event com­ing up this week! My favorite col­ors with a Dis­ney theme for the win!

Need:

• Sally Hansen Com­plete Salon Man­i­cure “Red My Lips”
• Sally Hansen Nail Art Pen — White
• Sally Hansen Nail Art Pen — Black

I started out by just pain­ing my toe­nails with the red pol­ish. Once that was dry, I used the nail art pens for the polka dots and draw­ing the Mickey head. Just be sure to wait until the pol­ish is dry before you try using the pens! I tried to rush it on one of the Mickey heads and it didn’t turn out nearly as well. But, over­all, it turned out great. Peo­ple were shocked to find out that I did it myself!

Fun, right?!

If you’re inter­ested in doing any of these fun looks or the prod­ucts I got, you might be pleased to know that you can pick them up at Wal­greens! The Xtreme, Salon Effects, Dia­mond and Insta Dri pol­ishes are on a $1 off sale thru 5/25. Plus, the Com­plete Salon Man­i­cure Pol­ish is on sale for  2/$10 thru 5/25! And, there is a $1 off coupon in the Wal­greens Coupon Book on all Sally Hansen Beauty Tools thru 5/25! My Wal­greens actu­ally had a lot of left­over coupons and offered them up on all the prod­ucts I bought. So, for me, the Xtreme pol­ishes were less than $2 a bot­tle! A great deal.
