This weeks theme for 40 Great Nail Art Ideas is Halloween; how appropriate as it's tomorrow lol! This is a pretty simple design by my favourite Halloween mani this year for sure! Here's what I came up with!
This was my inspiration; a hand towel I bought a couple weeks ago at Marshalls!
Started with a base of two coats of Sinful Colors Burn Rubber; no topcoat. This is a textured polish but unfortunately didn't have as much texture as I would have liked.
Stamped using Born Pretty BP-L013 using Funky Fingers Gesso.
Added pumpkin faces using an image from Chez Halloween 002 using Funky Fingers Dark Knight. Considering this was a mani that I could not get the clear jelly stamper to work and I placed these images by regular stamping method, I was thrilled how well I lined them up; the middle is slightly off but other than that, I thought I did ok! (I couldn't understand why the stamper wouldn't work when I had used it so many times with no issues and then all of a sudden had problems; this is when I discovered if you roll the image with a good amount of pressure, it will pick up. I retried this image and got it to work OK after that.)
Added a coat of top coat to finish.
Please excuse terribly bad cuticles, but this was my right hand; I think I lined it up better that my left hand lol!
Here's the other ladies Halloween mani's!
