Frankenstein-ish nails

Hi everyone! So today I have a quick mani I did to just try out an idea, I also wanted to experiment with lighting and stuff because my dad is building me a lightbox so that's why the pictures aren't very varied. These were meant to be based around frankenstein but my sister said they looked like barbed wire so I'll leave it up to you to decide! Hope you like them :)



I used China Glaze - Electric Pineapple as a base and used a small brush to paint the black acrylic paint, topped with a coat of Rimmel's Matte top coat I dont know why the pictures came out so green because they weren't so bright in reality!

Spun Sugar Nails

Hello everyone! These nails are actually part of another post that should (hopefully) be coming up on wednesday, but I wanted to give you a) some spoilers and b) something to look at in the mean time. I was inspired to create these after seeing Chalkboard Nails', Tis Ems' and Very Emily's posts. Hope you like them. I wont tell you the colours because they shall be coming up in the next post (HINTS HINTS)

Flowers and beads

Hey everyone, sorry (again) for the delay in posting, I do try to post every other day and at most every 3 days and that's really all it's been cos I've not been to sleep yet so in my head it is still Saturday and not 2am Sunday, though it's still Saturday in America so that's okay, haha.

Anyway, on to the nails! I was inspired to create these nails after seeing them (uncredited) on tumblr, but later found out that they were done by itsallnails, the original picture is at the bottom of the post :)



I used Models Own - Utopia, Barry M - Matte White, beads from Born Pretty Store (use my code KHL91 for 10% off!) and an unnamed Dark Blue by W7



Hope you like them!

Glitter Gradients #2

So this is not what I intended these to look like, as I showed you in my Collection 2000 hot looks review post here 'Shimmy Shake' looks really good layered over black. So I thought that it would also be good for glitter gradients, oh how wrong I was. This must have been my 6th attempt because it was just too thick and it smudged instantly, with these I managed to get a picture before that happened but they still didnt last very long! Anyway, they still turned out okay-ish, but they just look like an other glitter gradient, rather than a super awesome layered one, hope you like them!
