Hot Rod nails!


Day 24

Today I felt fiery, so I decided to do flame nails... plus I bought OPI for Sephora's What's a Tire Jack? Matte, so I had to try it out! The flames on black matte reminds me of classic hot rods, love it.

I used OPI Banana Bandana as a base, then used the water marbling technique with Zoya Pippa, China Glaze Salsa, and Urban Vibe nail polish in Orange, which I got for 50¢ at Wet Seal. After the water marbling dried, I painted on the red flame outlines with China Glaze Salsa, and the filled in background of the flames with OPI for Sephora What's a Tire Jack? Matte, which is a VERY nice true black matte.

It chipped a little because I've been using my nails this morning to pull protective layers off of plexiglass getting ready for the International Gaming Convention here in Las Vegas... (G2E)

Vroom vroom!

  4. Danica- thanks! Water marbling is VERY frustrating sometimes, but keep trying, and make sure you send a picture- I want to see your recreation!!


    and Mom, I meant immediate family, which is why I only mentioned parents and sister. I am most definitely not the milkman's child, anyone who saw dad and I together would find it hard to disagree! :-P

  6. It looks cool, but at least this one on the photo, it doesn't look like a great job, it seems to have a lot of bumpiness in the nail.
