Just a quick entry today. I just wanted to show you my Pretty as a Pumpkin nails. Please excuse the lack of cleanup that I just now noticed.
facepalm
For the French tip nails I used Orly Liquid Vinyl and Stripe Rite Silver (not the glitter). For the web nail I used a coat of Orly Platinum over Orly White Tips for the base, the black of the web was done with a no name 2 way nail pen I got off ebay and my silver Stripe Rite again.
The pumpkin, darling that she is was done with a base of Wet n' Wild Sunny Side up, the orange stripes were done with CM stripper in Design Orange, the stalk in Color Club stripper Russet, the green tendrils in Color Club stripper Green. The black is acrylic paint.
Thanks for reading, have a great day!
So my Halloween nails have leaned towards whimsical and fun, but I wanted to do some more glamorous looks as well. Here I've created a French Curve manicure, I'm not sure if that's a name but it is now because I don't know what else to call it.
Using Color Club Revvolution I put down my base coat. Then I used a French guide to create the curve but instead of having it go across the tip of the nail I placed it on a diagonal.
From there I used that beautiful baked pumpkin color, China Glaze Cross Iron to paint up the side and over the tip. After I peeled off the guides I took my Stripe Rite gold (not the glitter and used it to go over the seam, covering any glitches that may have happened.
Finally, I took the little metallic hex's and used them over the gold on just the ring finger. A top coat and I was done.
