#68 Spacy Black Diamond Constellation

sorry, was too lazy to crop the pic

Done with:

p2 in Spacy,

essence in Black Diamonds (I think it's so old that they don't even sell it anymore),

and

American Apparel in Constellation

#65 Lacquerwork

Done with:

OPI Lincoln Park after dark, a polish that is so dark purple that it looks black after 2 layers,

and

Catrice Glitterazzi (3 layers).

#61 BALLIN'

Does the design make it a party-themed nails or the title?

:-|

Somewhat crappy tuxedo nails because I draw the black parts freehand. I think matte top coat makes your nails look very classy tho.

Making these bows was such a pain in the ass!

Normally the beads stick to your wet layer of polish, but I had to put them on the matte polish that dried way too fast. I almost needed half an hour to finish one bow!

>______<"

I messed up so much on the right hand so that I had to cover it with glitter polish that doesn't even fit to the nail design... 

#57 Snow Storm

No, this is no Olympic Winter Games inspired nails. I don't support homophobic Russia, politics over there are aweful!

I rather got inspired by Lorde's performance at the Grammys earlier this year where she had these crazy painted black finger tips.

Couldn't find a proper video of that on youtube though to post it here, which sucks.

Anyways, I used a essence matte coat above the black and white ombre.

Sorry for the weird pics.

#55 [NOT SO] CUTE

I saw a really cool skull nail design and originally wanted to try it. But then I came up with that crazy idea of a panda AND a skull.

Accompanied by some really sweet looking white-ish nails and glitter top coat with little pink hearts that create a great contrast. Look for @ghostpandaterror on Instagram, he's one amazing artist with some mindblowing disturbing pieces.

Glitter polish from Alessandro (I think this one only comes in a set with a handcream, but I dunno for sure),

black nail polish to create panda nail stickers from essence (check out my blog post #1),

and Essie in Marshmellow, since the only white I have is the Orly one for French manicures which tends to get really runny with a top coat.

#43 Carbonized

Sketches of where I wanted the matte polish

Sorry, it looks a little bit crappy because the edges are crooked. Done with essence black nail polish, essence matte coat, and sticky tape.

#32 And we'll never be royals...

...but this nail design still should look like ermelin fur.

But don't wear real fur, that's somewhat disgusting.

Done with an Orly white polish and a black crackling one from p2. The latter is not to recommend, because it dries way too fast.

The other hand looks not so good...

Anyways, ending here with a really good earworm

#24 Little Star

Are you as excited as me for American Horror Story Coven? It's really one of the best series ever.

Simple drawing with white polish on black.

#13 super fail Pikachu nails

If you squint really hard and stand back 10 meters to look at this, it looks quite okay. I'm sorry, I'm no artist, and I also have crappy material/polishes that do a crappy job. *Excuses excuses*

From that I learned that you shouldn't draw with super old colours that make strings and got really thick after such a long time. Especially with fine tips.

 

From left to right:

*some fine tip black polish 

*claire's red two way pen and brush, with fucking unparallel hairs, no wonder it was on sale

*American Apparel in Manila

*some white fine tip polish

This is the most crappy Pikachu nails you'll ever find on the Internet, so enjoy (~_*)

#5 Turquoise Leopard

from my Instagram


For these nails, I can't show you the polish I used, because I lost it somewhere ;_______;
The turquoise was some Maxfactor stuff, the black some random black, I think essence.

I also don't know how to describe to make those leo patterns, you just paint and dab with the brush carefully some spots that look like leo pattern.

xD Have fun trying out!



#4 Musch Musch

This one is so crappy, if I wasn't writing a test next week, I wouldn't post this, tbh. :,D

 

Anyways, I tested the black colour of the other side of my sister's essence gold nail polish from post #1 which is pretty good, but empty now :p

 

For the writings, I used

 

 

 

claire's two way art pen and brush

It has a thin brush, which sucks, because the hairs are uneven, and a metal tip that makes about 1 mm thick lines. I had to apply two freaking layers of the letters to make it visible on the black nail polish.

 

I also freaking messed up the right hand, here is a photo though

 

 

I'm also clearly too dumb to take photos of both Hands together, hahahaha.
