Day 52
Today's nails were inspired by a shirt on the Threadless.com website called Bone Idol but Stuart Colebrook. I love this shirt's use of white space. :) Unfortunately Matte Magic topcoat led me to believe that my nails were done even though they weren't, hence the ginormous smudge on my index finger, which I didn't have time to fix. :(
I used China Glaze White on White as a base, with China Glaze Liquid Leather for the black, and topped it all off with 2 coats of China Glaze Matte Magic, which I got at Sally Beauty Supply for $5.99. (Can't find a link to anything but eBay for this)

Mr. Index finger just looks like he needs braces :) cute
ReplyDeleteVery cool indeed, and I may have to check out that website for Christmas gifts.
ReplyDeleteI do have a few questions that maybe you could answer one day...
1) Would it be in your rules to do your toes? I would think it would be easier since you could use your dominant hand on both feet.
2) Speaking of that, which is your dominant hand and do you think you've become better at paiting those nails through this?
Just some things I know I would be going through.
That is so cool, I want to try that next Halloween!
ReplyDeleteAwesome!!!!

thanks guys!! :-P
ReplyDeleteAnon- maybe I'll invest in invisalign braces for him. :-P
Shawna Fay- Totally check out that threadless link, they are having a sale right now- $12 tees with free shipping! :) Answer to #1- nope, I don't do toes a) I have horrible feet -to the extent that I have had surgery on them, they're not like, gnarled or anything, but I tend to hide them more than show them off. :-P b) all of my toenails are minute- almost like baby fingernails, with the exception of the big toe, so I couldn't paint anything cool!
gildedangel- why wait for halloween? Skulls rock year round (at least to me!! :-P)
Luminous- thanks for the link!
it looks wicked! literally! that is sooo cool!
ReplyDeletethis is awesome!!! also i have a suggestion: it think you could do a pattern with the tip, then another with the main part of the nail. :)
ReplyDeleteVery cool! xD
ReplyDeleteThis one is ultra cool. Spooky!
ReplyDeleteOr, if you squint, Mr. Index Finger looks like he has a Tom Selleck-like 'stache...
ReplyDeleteYou are so fantastic!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff!
ReplyDeleteHow did White on White work for you? Mine was thin, runny and streaky ): It wasn't even fully opaque at 4 coats :/
ReplyDeleteAwesome!!, it looks so cool, excellent job done.
