I decided to participate in the NPC Halloween contest. Instead of trying to freehand some scary, detailed cool designs I focused on the techniques I am good at: splatter and sugar-spun! The color scheme says Halloween without the scary! I added some BPS spider web decals though because I was not feeling up to drawing them. I like how they peak out from the splatter. They’re kind of spooky, right?

 

Even though I waited 30 minutes to add top coat, the decals still dissolved. Very unfortunate.

I started with 2 coats of Color Club Wham! Pow! and Girly Bits Supersonic as my base.

I detailed with Milani Swift Black. The decals are from a Halloween collection from the Born Pretty Store.

Nail Polish Canada’s Summer 2014 Nail Art Challenge

What better way to celebrate the end of summer or summer in general than with neons! I am going through a splatter phase so I decided on a fun, bright one for Nail Polish Canada’s summer challenge. It does not look like anyone else has done a splatter yet so hopefully mine stands out with the white background!

I thought about adding some stamping or something a little extra but I decided to leave well enough alone and stick with the simple nail art.

I used 2 coats of Julie G White Orchid as my base.

I splattered with separate straws and China Glaze Sun Worshipper, In the Lime Light and Color Club Mrs. Robinson.

I finished with a generous coat of INM Northern Lights – Gold before I realized my camera could not capture details under the sparkle! Yikes! Thankfully, you can still see the definition between the colors.
