This is a half hour long video so make time to watch :) Also, it's more of a recap than a review...
To prove just how excited I was for the film, here are some pictures of the nail design that I made for the release of the movie. I finished this design a week before the movie came out so I wasn't able to remove my nail polish for a whole week. As someone who loves painting nails, it was torture! I had so many ideas brewing in my head but I was unable to use them! Le Struggle~! Well, enjoy the pictures:

"You're just a trained monkey" - Annie = Michelle Williams. She marries Dorothy's dad John Gale
"Kansas is full of good men...I don't want to be a good man, I want to be a great one" - Tornado + running from bad guy (strongman) -> same as Dorothy
- this would look so good in 3D (the stuff flying around in the tornado)
