Cute Monster Nails!

Nail Art October Challenge theme yesterday was Monster and well here is my version. The monster and goo where done with glow in the dark acrylic paint after it fully dried I added a googly eye for a more 3D look and it just makes it even cuter. The glow version really makes it come to life.

Polishes used: Orly "Purple Crush" one of my fave neons! And mattified with NYC Matte Me Crazy!

Bloody Nails!

Part two....
Here's the second version not so cute but more bloody realistic. I used the straw splattered technique pretty messy and a pain in the butt to clean because I actually used polish but very fun to do! Once again added matte finish so all the attention goes to "blood" red polish.

Tombstone Nails!

Aww these where very fun to do. Splatter nails are always messy and fun to do. That technique I applied to them to match the polish cap of Wet&Wild Fantasy Makers. Obviously I was inspired by the cap for these. When the theme Graveyard came up for Nail Art October came around this is what I envisioned but went another way so I just had to do them. The splatter technique I did with white, gray, and black acrylic paint. Same gray was used for the outline of the tombstone.

The spiders where done with black acrylic paint.

Checkered Nail Tutorial!

   CURE Checkered Nail Pictorial!
1.) Apply white base polish and let dry completely.
2.) Add two pieces of tape thus creating the checkered look.
3.) Apply polish of your choice over the uncovered squares.
4.) Remove tape carefully.
5.) With a thin brush add the lettering in a lighter color shade of pink and a white or in the colors you have chosen use a lighter version of the polish you use for the checkered look.
6.) Clean any excess polish around the cuticle or around the nail.
7.) Add top coat to seal and protect your design.
NOTE: When using tape lesson learned is to wait till its fully dry. Or suffer the consequences of the tape pulling up your base polish.
