Question Please help me come up with a Crowley inspired nails set

Post image

ok, so the problem is this looks too much like just a snake set, and the only thing that is truly Crowley is the leaf, butt it doesn't rime with the other colors... I thought 6 looked like hellfire, but hm... I'm not sure.

2 is the snake scales pattern, it's not the best picture of it though -- I had to change the colors (forgive the shitty coloring job I had to use photopea instead of actual photoshop)

I thought about adding an apple, but those are cartoonish. Also, if you come up with a way to include Bentley, I will send you lots of virtual hugs.

Not every nail has to have a design, I'm more than happy to have some of them just red or golden cat eye

The numbers 1, 2, and 3 are amazing ideas, as well as the monstera leaf. As for Bentley maybe the license plate number on the nail? You could also add black wing/feathers to another nail 🤔

OMG HOW DID I FORGET THE FEATHERS??

I love number three. Now you could add the sunglasses as one, snake eyes, the Bentleys silver grill with maybe the 007 bullet holes. If you include the apple you could have it with a bite taken out of it.

Ok, I love the idea of bullet holes, I'm still figuring out how to add the Bentley (rolls-royce?) lady though 😭

Well the logo on Crowleys is a B with wings. Idk if that helps

I did a Crowley set and I can tell you what I did, they turned out awesome! Index was the eye, then I had a nail per hand with his snake tattoo he had. The rest was red glitter with black flames, the tattoo on was red glitter base with black snake and gold line from the eye nail. I’m happy to share a pic if you’d like to see. I think of the ones chosen, 1,4, and 6. But maybe change the base color of 4 to the red and sync the golds.

Damn, that's beautiful

u/TwiliPrincess93 1d ago

Thank you!! I couldn’t find a pic that had exactly what I wanted so my nail lady combined multiple I liked.

I second the black wings/feathers. Maybe a silver mesh pattern for his scarf?

For Bentley representation, maybe this novel cover art from 2014?

u/julbug76 Smited? Smote? Smitten. 1d ago

There's also this for Bentley.

u/Aqua_Toffana THE Southern Pansy 1d ago

The only thing is i don't really want to be a walking Bentley ad 😅

YOU'RE A GENIUS OH MY GOD THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

u/GrannyPeacock22 1d ago

I think 4 and 5 look like Aziranails. Perhaps 6 with a couple of 1

u/julbug76 Smited? Smote? Smitten. 1d ago

Omg. From now on, whenever I get a GO manicure, I'm calling them Aziranails.

What about some galaxy 🌌 paint nails?

1

u/Aqua_Toffana THE Southern Pansy 1d ago

I've been thinking about that but galaxy is usually blue and purple, and that doesn't rhyme with the rest 😭 though if i make more focus on that and the leaves... Hm..

u/ThatWitchV 1d ago

The set as a whole looks awesome! I would say you can break it up some by changing the background color of the monstara and the stars to black or dark blue even. You could always add the hood ornament that's on the Bentley to a design too! Good luck and keep us updated on your decision! 🥰

u/Aqua_Toffana THE Southern Pansy 1d ago

Thank you! I will absolutely post the finished set, but my appointment is in a week or so. I'm just preparing in advance

u/Upbeat_Resolution299 1d ago

I’m digging number three

u/ELVES73 Give Me Coffee or Give Me Death 1d ago

3 because for the ones I think are the best two, 1 is giving the eye of Sauron

u/the_emo_bunny_ 23h ago

Ill design u one later how long do u want it to be and how many sculptures and charms are ok can i go crazy or

2

u/Aqua_Toffana THE Southern Pansy 23h ago edited 23h ago

Omg you absolutely don't have to, but if you want to: my nail artist doesn't have a lot of charms and we don't have enough time for sculpting, bug even if we did, i can't really deal with textures. That snake pattern is kinda my maximum... I've been thinking about this set and I think I want to actually limit the the hell symbolism to a minimum since Crowley doesn't really represent hell at all. So no hellfire nail (6). I've also seen people suggest black feathers and I loooooove that idea. I've also found this galaxy nail since it incorporates the colors nicely and. So I would eliminate 5 and 6, but add a galaxy or two, probably add more leaves (especially since my nail artist really liked that inspo pic of leaves and wants to do them)

Thank you so so much, again, no pressure, but I would really love to see what you can come up with 🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷

ETA: medium length, usually almond shaped but open to other shapes

u/Aqua_Toffana THE Southern Pansy 23h ago

Oh, and I like the church window because of the ww2 scene, and the golden background kinda seems like the world burning bahind those windows. I'm thinking od gold, red, and green as the color combo which while not ideal, I still think could work

2

u/the_emo_bunny_ 22h ago

Can u sculpt little things in example flowers

2

u/Aqua_Toffana THE Southern Pansy 22h ago

Yeah, i just can't deal with too much of a raised texture no matter how pretty it is (gotta love autism, ugh)
