Sailor Moon

When I did candy crush on my left hand I wanted to do something relatively easy on my right but related to either Facebook or the internet.  The only other thing that occupies my computer time is re-watching old Sailor Moon episodes.  This is a manicure I thought was quite lovely, although it seems to be so old I can't find its source any longer.
I started with my white striper from Quo by Orly and put the diagonal french on my nails.  I used it to put two thick lines so that I could use my normal brush to fill in the rest of the nail using Sally Hansen Nearly Nude 1 Natural White.  Once that was dry I used my toothpick and drew on the 5 scout/planet symbols from memory (it seems I forgot an arrow for Mars.  Also I smudged Mars while working on it :-(
Moon used a Quo by Orly striper Neon Yellow, Mercury used Misslyn 850, Venus I used an orange from the dollar store Kozmic Colours, Mars used a very old (and I think it's time to throw away) Maybeline Long Wearing 80 Red riot creme and finally my thumb was Jupiter with my Revlon Top Speed 330 Emerald.  Other than the smudging, I'm very happy with the result and will probably do another manicure with a diagonal french.  It looks very nice especially with my long nails at the moment.
