I tried a few different free-hand painting designs, but none came out the way I wanted. (I especially like the designs that span across multiple nails.) Nail art fails are so frustrating!
So, I defaulted to stamping. I knew I had some Bundle Monster plates with Halloween images. I used plates BM-211, BM-222, & BM-224.
For my thumb and pinkie, I taped off triangular areas down the length of the nail, and then used Nfu Oh- 50 to create a wedge shape. After removing the scotch tape, I used some purple striping tape to outline the wedges.
Here are the polishes I used for this design:
China Glaze- Smoke And Ashes, SHCSM- Gray By Gray, SHCSM- Shrimply Devine, Nfu Oh- 50
The Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure creme finish polishes seem to work really nicely for stamping, by the way. (Love those wonky labels- uh not!)
Thumb:
Look how awesome China Glaze- Smoke And Ashes (base color) looks in the bottle, and how the blue-green shimmer is nonexistent on the nail! Disappointing, really.
Wow, I love how the pastels turned out against the dark polish. AWESOME Halloween mani!!!
ReplyThank you! I might try to do a more inspired one if I can find the time. :)
