Ghoulish Ghosts

My gorgeous friend Sam wanted some Halloween nails done. She asked for little ghosties.

Oct/12/2012
 She also wanted her nails longer, so we decided UV gel sculpted tips would be best, partially because I`m not fond of acrylic.
Thumbs.
Ahh, I love the little ghosties on her thumbs. They are just adorable. Now after I gave her a gel set + extensions, I painted the base colours: `Mourning Glory`and `Hi Pumpkin!`from OPI`s Halloween 2012 mini set. I added some `Fairy Dust`(China Glaze) to the black nails and gave her the ghosts on the others. Overall a cute manicure for Halloween.

UV gel Experiments

Done on the same day our UV clear overlays were done, we experimented.
July/15/2012

Left: Blue and black glitter; Right: orange and purple marble.
 I did both of these nails, still playing around with the UV coloured gels and adding glitter. I like the marbled effect I got on the one on the right.

Left and Right: Ayesha's; Middle: Mine
 The far right and far left nails my cousin Ayesha did, she made up some beautiful turquoise UV gel using clear gel and turquoise eye shadow. The right one she mixed in some blue glitter, and the left nail she patted the blue glitter on top, both creating a different effect. I like the one she did on the right.
The middle nail with the rhinestones I did, there was some orange and turquoise left over so I did a gradient and stuck on some rhinestones before curing it. It reminds me of something you'd find in Bollywood.
 
Fruit Salad
I did both of these, but Ayesha coated/encased the right nail with clear gel. All is did was mix magenta and orange eye shadows with clear UV gel and stuck on some cute little fruit fimos for added fun.

I hope you enjoyed this post. If you have any questions, comments or concerns leave them down below and I'll get back to you!

UV Gel Clear Overlay

My cousin Ayesha and I (yes we share a first name) decided to play with our UV gel kits.

Close up.
Due to learning how to blend nail tips, all of our nails got thinned out pretty severely. They were breaking pretty bad and bending, so Ayesha and I decided to test out our UV gels on ourselves, I did this simple clear gel overlay for her to keep her natural nails safe until the damage grows out. She also did a beautiful set for me. This is the first time I put gels on and actual person and they turned out nice.
