Crinum Rouge: Black Rock Shooter

I now have a list of nail themes that I will be working through, most of which were suggested by Danny.

Until now, I've never realized how many different stars prints I had, like holy BRS!!!

In my previous post, I wrote about the expanding creative community of Vocaloid. It was a pleasantly huge shock to followers that Supercell made their major debut with Sony Music Entertainment Japan and began producing songs for major titles such as Bakemonogatari. Mothy's series, Story Of Evil, now has several doujin manga and animes. The series has now developed into a published novel and a theatre play!

Among these accomplishments of doujin artists, Black Rock Shooter stands out the most. BRS has lead to the productions of two major manga series, video games, an original video animation (OVA), and now a TV series. Although the Story Of Evil productions all follow Mothy's plot, BRS does not. The song, video games, manga, and animations are all set with different circumstances, worlds, story, and even characters. Two main characters are always the kept throughout every scenario: Dead Master and Black Rock Shooter. Their costumes have been slightly redesigned with every new production.

Although I'm not a fan of the original song, I absolutely love the storyline. The animations and illustrations (in the games, manga, and animations) were done exceptionally well. And since I love the visual designs, I figured I could put them on my nails!

Planned layout of BRS design

I had to borrow two plates from Alicia because I realized too late that other than stars, I had no other prints for this design. A huge fail on my part.
The first three photos are the completed design with no top coat.

GOSH "Black Passion" base
Sally Hansen: Insta-Dri "Whirlwind White" checker and large star print
Sally Hansen: Chrome "Sizzlin' Crystal" mini stars print
GOSH "Metallic Blue" gradient, star trail and flame print
Sally Hansen: Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear "Marine Scene" gradient
blue metallic striping tape
aqua blue star rhinestone

The following photos were taken after I added the matte top coat. I wanted to try and make it look like the plastic that my figurines were made out of.

And then I decided gloss top coat still looks the best =.=;; But I had already put away my chibi BRS figurine and was too lazy to go get it again. Next time, maybe I'll try to figure out a design for Strength - she's my favourite~ and I have her full scale figurine too!
