Disney villains are the best villains around, and at my house, we love Sleeping Beauty's Maleficent. She's an evil witch that turns into a dragon, and her swirly purple, mint green, and black color combinations are perfect for a fantastic nail art design!

Supplies

Directions
1. Start with a nail painted mint green. You want it to still be a little wet for the flame technique we are about to do.

2. Now paint half of the bottom of your nail purple, make sure to use quite a bit of nail polish.

3. Quickly paint the other half black.

4. Take a toothpick and drag it through the purple and black to make the flames. You just want to draw long shapes. Make sure not to go all the way to the top, or the black and purple will overpower the green.

5. Be sure to drag some of the purple through the black, and the black through the purple to mix them up a bit.

6. When you're done, it will look a little messy, but that's okay-- we are going to fix it with glitter.

7. Take your fine glitter polish and paint over the design. While it's still wet, paint a fast drying topcoat and your Maleficent Nail art design is done!
