Evening all! Just a quick post tonight, because I've been to the pub for tea and I am sleepy (possibly wine-induced). Also, I shall be honest...these nails were supposed to be for tomorrow, but I haven't done my nails for tonight, so I'll just have to make tomorrow's nails that would have been tonight's nails fit tomorrow's theme. That makes sense right...?
Here's a reminder of the prompts:
So my Halloween villain of choice...mummies!
I'm aware that these are not remotely original, but it's something I've seen a lot and wanted to try :) Believe it or not, I sponged three colours for my base. And then, it would seem, the brightness of my lamp just washed it all out. I had the same problem last night with getting the lines on my pumpkin to show up...think I need a rejig of my setup. The three colours, not that you can see them, are OPI My Vampire is Buff, Don't Pretzel My Buttons and Did You 'Ear About Van Gogh. I was aiming for a bit of an aged/yellowing look, which did work in person, but you'll just have to take my word for it :D Then I used a black striper pen for my lines - these probably could have been thinner!
Don't forget to have a look and see what villains everyone else chose!
I can tell you did a sponged look, it really looks aged. Great job, Sam! :)
ReplyDeleteGlad all my sponging wasn't wasted! Maybe my screen is just too bright actually...
DeleteGreat job with it! Love the mummy eyes...:)
ReplyDeleteThanks Michelle!
DeleteIt is simple and cute in my opinion. I like these kind of Halloween designs!
ReplyDeleteThanks :)
DeleteI own all three polishes you used for the base, so I can see the effect you created! And it is spot on! I really like your take on the mummies!
ReplyDeleteThat makes me feel a lot better knowing that I'm not the only one with at least three OPI nudes...:p And thank you Victoria :)
DeleteThis is awesome!
ReplyDeleteThanks Anne :)
