I had a lot of fun assembling the pieces for each of their faces -- eyes (both placement and quantity), mouth, general expression -- they are all unique!
For those of you unfamiliar with the minions, here's a good YouTube montage of minion clips. The minions are basically the main character's creations, and he uses them to help him execute his evil plans. They like to goof off though, and are a huge part of the comedy in the movies! Very endearing.
For my version, I started with a base of Lime Crime Crema de Limon.
Then, I added the eyes in white, and the irises in China Glaze Call of the Wild. I outlined the goggles with A England Fated Prince and added the strap in black.
The tongues are done with Zoya Renee.
Lastly, I added their overalls in American Apparel Mount Royal, and distressed them a bit with China Glaze Secret Peri-winkle.
The movie turned out to be really cute, and I liked knowing I was watching it with my own little minion buddies!
Plus, we went and got Dairy Queen afterwards... Choco Cherry Love Blizzard!
Have you seen Despicable Me 2 yet?
ahh these are super cute! I saw the movie a few weeks ago and loved it....a few of my friends and I plan on being minions for Halloween, but after seeing DM2, we can't decide if we want to be yellow or purple!

ReplyDeleteI, too, am a Minion affictionate and this mani is just too sweet! Love all the different expressions and each Minion is cute on its own :D
I LOVE despicable me, when I first started watching it I thought I was going to hate it but its ended up being one of my favourite films. Me and my friends went to go and see the 2nd one the other day ad we loved it! So funny and so cute!
ReplyDeleteoh my gosh you put my minion nails to shame!! haha wow. I especially love the polish used to outline their eyes.
ReplyDeleteYour thumb is my favorite! I only managed to get a minion on each accent finger when I went :)

ReplyDeleteWhat about your right hand? I'm right handed and I'm a perfectionist and don't want my right hand to be painted and look like crap. Lol.
ReplyDeleteYou could do a tape manicure -- yellow base, a block of blue near the tips, and a stripe of gunmetal closer to the cuticle! :)
ReplyDeleteTapes are easy. But is that meant to be a minion? I dont want one awesomely painted hand and one plain. I hate that my left hand isn't as good.
ReplyDeleteI appreciate the help! I just wish my lefty could be more perfect like my right. Lol. And right?! That'd be so convenient. Lol.
ReplyDeleteI can't seem to find your link for the nails that looked gory. Can you help me?
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure what you mean, sorry! Could you clarify?
ReplyDeleteThey're AWESOME, I love nail art, ill have to try this
ReplyDeleteOh my aren't they just so cute.. ilove have to try them out
