Day 5 Ghosts and Goblins

Here is my Ghosts and Goblins manicure.  I think it came out really cute!


And you might be asking "What is the deal with the glitter pinky finger?"

Well...sadly, I couldn't figure out a good way to portray a Goblin on my finger nail without using decals.  So...I used a play on words.  I have China Glaze's Glitter Goblin.  :D  I have titled this manicure: Ghosts and Glitter Goblin.  :D

And yes, it glows in the dark...but I haven't been able to capture that.  Sigh.  I am going to try another glow in the dark mani in the future and I will try to get the photos then.  My ghostie mani started to come off, so I decided I would do a take two later in the month.

Day 3 Bloody Nails



All I can say is wow...for all it looks difficult, it came together rather nicely for me.  It looks like dripping blood.  I started with a pink french manicure and the used SC Ruby Ruby as my "blood".  Came out nice, don't you think?

I could see this in a movie somewhere.  I might also try the other style of bloody nail that I saw--the splattered bloody nail.  More to come...maybe...

Day 2 Matte Dotticure

This one didn't turn out as good as I had hoped, but it wasn't bad and and my daughter helped me pick out the colors to use.


The orange nail...well, I painted both colors on, then matted them, then re-dotted with a shy topcoat.  Not the most inspired mani, but here ya go.  :D

Day 1 Water Marble


This one was surprisingly easy.  It's called Water Marble or Water Color nails.  It uses room-temperature water in a plastic cup and drops of polish in the water in a "spreading ring" effect like water rings on the top of still water.  You can use a toothpick to change the lines in the rings of nail polish. You block off the area around your nails, paint your nails your choice of basecoat (I used white) and then dip your fingers (surface down) in the freshly dripped paint on the top of the water.  Then clear away the excess nail polish from the top of the water before removing your finger(s) from the water.

If you want to see a play-by-play tutorial, there are TONS of them on www.youtube.com. I highly recommend looking at the different ones on there for your experience level.

It turned out really neat.  I can see doing something like this for the winter time to make it look like swirling snow or summer to represent rain drops.
