"Halloween Liquid Flames"

Hey guys, just changed my polish again. I'm taking a break from acrylics, so sorry for so many shorts, but short nails can be just as cute and fun!



Products Used:
Wet N' Wild WildShine 424A Black Creme
Response 54 Red Glitter
L.A. Craze Magnetic Force BCC 562 (Pinkish- Orange)
Wet N' Wild FastDry 222C  9.0.2.1.Orange (Metallic/ glitter Orange)
Wet N' Wild FastDry 236C Silvivor (Metallic Silver)

Method Used:
Coat 1: Paint each nail black, except one nail on each hand silver.
Coat 2: Add red glitter over the black nails
Coat 3: Use L.A. Craze to make ooze/ flame shapes. I used some big drops, then dragged them up to the top
Coat 4: Use Wet N Wild orange glitter over ooze shapes
Coat 5: Favorite topcoat!

I hope I get another change to do a halloween set. It's coming quick!

"Animal Planet"

Hey guys, sorry I've been on a brief hiatus. I've been really involved in Occupy Minnesota in solidarity with Occupy Wall Street. It's definitely a hell of an adventure, and if you're against corporate greed and government corruption, join an occupation near you!

That said, here's some nails I did a few weeks but didn't have time to upload.



Anyways, I have to go to bed so no tutorial on this. Just sponge if it's semi-sheer, paint the yellow to pink gradient on your nails. Use a silver nail art brush for accents. Top off the details with a black nail art pen. Rawr!
