It's that simple.

I know that every nail blogger out there did this design on their nails. Either for comic con, or any other occasion, but I felt like I am lacking this design on my blog.
So here it is, nothing outstanding, nor original, but does it really matter though?


Different colors on different hands because I had a difficult time choosing one fro the background. 
Just give me snow already! I'm sad seeing December without it.

Superhero week. Day 7.

This is it, this is the final day of my Superhero week. Time flies with a blink of an eye and the fact that this was the last day of a super marathon was a surprise for me in the morning.
I felt that I needed a girl, because nothing is complete without a girl.
The daughter of John Zatara, Zatanna is a powerful magician who casts spells by speaking backwards and works as both a stage performer and a member of the Justice League of America.


Zatanna is a superhero and one of the greatest magic-users in the DC Universe.


She is simply stunning. She is magic.
I hope to continue my comic book theme further on. It makes me happier.

Superhero week. Day 6.

UFO, Martians, aliens.. Do they really exist?

Decades ago, J'onn J'onzz was teleported to Earth from Mars and stranded here. Since then he has used his extraordinary abilities to protect and serve the people of Earth.

Centuries ago on the planet Ma'aleca'andra, the Green Martians known as M'yrnn and Sha'sheen gave birth to twin sons. The bearing of twins was uncommon among the Martian culture, and as such, the first of the twins was named J'onn J'onzz, whose name means "Light to the Light." 


In his secret identity, to blend into humanity, he is a gritty hard-boiled police officer.

"I am Mars' sole survivor. There is a reason for that."

Superhero week. Day 5.

How many magic words do you know?
SHAZAM! Two syllables famous for magically turning a boy into a superpowered adult.
Unlike most foster children, Billy Batson couldn’t care less about finding a family. He just wants to turn eighteen and finally become an adult. While the boy’s compassionate and kind, he’s gotten used to protecting himself by staying emotionally distant from everybody. But that changes when he meets an ancient wizard who introduces him to one very powerful word.


Just by saying SHAZAM!, Billy is transformed into a magical flying adult superhero, one with the genius of Solomon, the strength of Hercules, the unbreakable will of Atlas, the lightning blasts of Zeus, the power of Achilles and the speed of Mercury.

"I like being a hero. "
-- Shazam

Superhero week. Day 2.

Another day, another superhero. And even though this mister does not have super strength or x-ray vision, he is a very impressive person. And really handsome by the way.
Oliver Queen was a spoiled, thrill-seeking playboy, until he was left stranded on a deserted island for three years. There, he trained to become a master archer in order to survive. Returning home to Star City, he used his skills to fight crime using archery, martial arts and technology.


He is an interesting an inspiring character, who shows that you do not need super speed or flying abilities to be a hero.
This is one of my favorite wallpapers of Green Arrow. Perfection.



"At my core, I wasn't a hero. I was a hunter."

Superhero Week. Day 1.

Ah, and so the Super week begins!
I personally am not a big fan of Superman, but how can it be a super week without a superman himself?! This is why he is the inspiration for a day 1 - the very first.
SUPERMAN, also known as the Man Of Steel is one of the most powerful superheroes in the DC Universe. His abilities include incredible super-strength, super-speed, invulnerability, freezing breath, flight, and heat-vision. Born as Kal-El on the dying planet Krypton, his parents Jor-El and Lara sent him in a rocket to the planet Earth where he would be the last surviving member of his race. 
 Although he is an alien to this world, he heavily values his humanity, and fights with conviction for truth, justice, and the American way. 


"It is a remarkable dichotomy. In many ways, Clark is the most human of us all. Then... he shoots fire from the skies and it is difficult not to think of him as a god. And how fortunate we all are that it does not occur to him."
-- Batman src


So, what do you think about this Kryptonian?

Superhero Week!

I really, reeeaally need superpowers, k?
That is why I am starting a Superhero week on Nail Asylum!
It is about time I go back to my favorite comic book theme and into painting my nails as I should.
I have no idea which characters will I pick for my designs, but they all will be related to comics and every design will be filled with my love and adoration.


So next week, starting on November 18th, I will be posting a superhero nail art marathon.
I needed that, I really did. Stay tuned, or better yet, join me!
This should be fun.

Injustice: Gods Among Us Nail Art


Another Wednesday and another game themed nail art!
As most of you may already know, Injustice: Gods Among Us is an upcoming fighting game with DC comics villains and heroes that will be released in 2013. 
Oh, wow.. I can't wait!
Can you imagine Superman fighting Wonder Woman, or Flash? I bet this is going to be epic.
And the best part for me is that Harley Quinn is one of the confirmed characters in the game! <3

Enough about the game, take a look at the nails:

I really tried to make all the lines nice and thin, but I always have a problem with the Wonder Woman symbol.. -__- 
I just can't make it looks good. Meh, never liked her anyways.
I think you can recognize the majority of the symbols, and the two on the grey backgrounds are - Cyborg and Solomon Grundy. This is how their symbols are shown in the game.

To create this design I've used polish, needles, thin brushes and acrylic paint,just so that the circles would stay where they supposed to.
I was surprised that it took me only about an hour and a half (maybe even less I don't know exactly) to make this! I mean - it is fast comparing to my other designs.

I love how it looks on my nails and I'm going to wear it as long as possible!
Hope you like this weeks nail art. 
Feel free to comment and come back soon for more fun nail art designs for  your nails!

Suicide Squad Nail Art.

I know that today is not Saturday, and I'm a bit late, but sometimes I get caught up doing something and forget to post. Nevertheless, this weeks nail art is Suicide Squad themed.

This is my favorite comic from The New 52 DC comic books, mainly because of Harley Quinn in it.
Basically, there are a few elements of Harley Quinn, King Shark, El Diablo, Deadshot. etc.
I've used acrylic paint for some of the designs, such as letters and grey background (because I don't have grey nail polish at the moment) and the black gel pen for the outline.

If you ever wondered how I come up with the designs, here is my sketch for this nail art:

As you can see, I make some "extra" designs in case if some of the one that I have chosen to make, don't look good or just too hard to make. I know this is not a best drawing, but it's just for me to see what am I going to do this time.

Check out the comic and come back next week for more geeky nail art!
