Frankenstein

Another Halloween one, this one is very pretty with a bit of a twist.

Whole Hand
 I did accent nails again. I like the sponging/glitter effect I have on my index, middle and pinky fingers, alone they would make a very pretty manicure, but I also love Frankenstein's face on my thumb and ring fingers.
As usual, all hand painted by me, with no use of decals or stamping.


The colours that I used were:

OPI "On Stranger Tides" (the base colour)
China Glaze "Holly-Day"
China Glaze "Foxy"
Nina Ultra Pro "Mossy Britches"
Sally Hansen eXtreme Wear " Saturday Night Fever"
L.A. Girl Glitter Addict "Synergy"
L.A. Girl Glitter Addict "Flash"

Peacock Purples

Okay! So after a few days of "WTF am I gonna do?" and "Nothing is working!" frustration, I popped over to Sally's for some quick inspiration. I was standing there for a good ten minutes blankly staring at all the nail polishes when "Flying Dragon (Neon)" by China Glaze caught my eye and I remembered some swatch photos I saw of it. I picked up a bottle, and when I got home this happened:


Flipped this one so you could see the designs upright.




The base colour is "Flying Dragon (Neon)" by China Glaze, I stamped images from Bundle Monster plates: BM 03, BM 15 and BM 212 using "Silver Sweep" by Sally Hansen.

The end result reminds me vaguely of the purple/silver Banarasi  Sari I wore at my cousin's wedding many years ago. Needless to say I like this one, for now, and the sari is still sitting in my closet only being worn once and in desperate need of a new, properly fitting sari blouse.

Hue Left a Message?



Some stamping and an attempt a taping. I found the scotch tape (used for Expresso) gave a much cleaner line than the masking tape (for the Black). Used Bundle Monster's BM-221 plate.

Colours used:
"Hue Left a Message" by Finger Paints
"Expresso" by Kleancolor
"Black Creme" by Wet n' Wild
