Mario Manicure

I wanted to do a Mario themed manicure in dedication to the many hours spent with my cousin playing MarioKart on his Nintendo system growing up. Every time we were together, we were playing that game. We even changed "the rules" and played by driving around the course backwards, or teaming up and taking out a specific character. We even got to where we would say "Pull over to laugh!" because we'd be giggiling so much we would drive even more erratically. 

I'm not too proud of how all of these turned out. The only one I really like is the Yoshi. So I cut the tutorial down to just that nail.
