Game of Thrones Nails Season 2

Ahhhh, Game of Thrones. This weekend was the second annual Game of Thrones-A-thon and it did not disappoint. Naturally, I had to do some themed nails for the occasion! (See last year's here.)

This year I did some of the house 'sigils' (logos) on my nails. I decided on House Stark, House Lannister, House Martell, House Tyrell, and House Greyjoy.

(Side note: those who have watched/read GoT: isn't Theon just The Worst? Him and Joffrey just make me want to do violence. Maybe I just get too much into it...)

For reference sakes, these are the logos that I am trying to convey (this is a mix from the HBO styles, and styles from a Wiki of Ice and Fire):

House Stark



House Lannister



House Martell



House Tyrell



House Greyjoy




So now are my rather... unique interpretations:

Some close ups:

House Stark: Used OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls for the base, Zoya Noot for the direwolf

House Lannister: I think this turned out more like a dinosaur than a lion. China Glaze Adventure Red-y for the base, Nicole by OPI Hit the Lights for the lionnasaur.

House Martell: Misa Um You're Too Delicious for the base, China Glaze Adventure Red-y for the sun, Nicole by OPI Hit the Lights for the spear.

House Tyrell: OPI Jade is the New Black for the base, A England Holy Grail (new version) for the flower, Nicole by OPI Hit the Lights for the centre, China Glaze Adventure Red-y for the accents.

House Greyjoy: I am very proud of my Kraken, thank you very much! Zoya Noot for the base and Nicole by OPI Hit the Lights for the squid.


Straight up, I'm proud of my scribbles! I have no talent for drawing so I will be happy with whatever I make. Also, everyone at the party was really quite impressed so I got my compliments :)

Damn I love this series!

Game of Thrones Nails

I'm a pretty big nerd. So naturally, I love Game of Thrones (books AND delightfully sexy-violent HBO programs). Recently, I went to a Season 1 marathon and OF COURSE I had to do themed nails! I also might have purchased a GoT ceramic drinking stein labeled with House Targaryen on it. It was awesome.

I am totally Team Daenarys, folks. She has dragons. DRAG-ONS. She wins all. Thus I attempted to put House Targaryen on my nails. For reference, this is their sigil  ('Sigil' is fancy for 'logo'):

(Thanks, HBO)

RIGHT??? How in the name of the Seven do I accomplish that??? It's a circle of dragons! DRAGONS.
Did I mention I am amazed by dragons?

Anyhoodle, this is what happened:

Three dragon heads! My pinky has an H and my thumb has a T. I used OPI Glitzerland for the gold base, OPI Kenne-bunk Port for the red, OPI Alpine Snow for white and OPI Black Onyx for black. Again, I keep trying to draw things when I really shouldn't. This time I blame it on bad brushes.

BUT WAIT. You can't have a sigil without the words! It'd be like having a logo without a motto! Marketing executives everywhere are cringing!

Don't worry, I didn't forget. I present: "Fire and Blood"

The fire is: OPI Need Sunglasses? for yellow, Essie Orange It's Obvious! for orange and Kennebunk Port again for the red (and for the blood drops).

Dragons? "Fire and Blood"? This house just screams "BAMFs". Except for Viserys. He was useless.
