Spider Web Nails

For this Halloween manicure I decided to do something simple. Ive been doing a lot of intricate nail art lately and I thought I would do something easier. This picture does not do the nail polish justice. Its more of an orange than yellow.





I love this color! It is actually very quick to dry. It is a bit of a transparent color so it needs about 3 coats to get a perfect shade. Since the nail polish dried fairly fast adding coat after coat was a piece of cake. This nail polish also does drys matte.
 


Items Used

Orly Nail Armor
Out the Door Topcoat
Orly Matte Top
Apple Barrel Black Acrylic Paint
American Painter Liner Brush 18/0
China Glaze "Sun Worshiper"

Scream Nail Art

Boo! Since Halloween is just around the corner I felt these are appropriate to be my first post! 


It's actually one of my more simple nail designs because I did this on my right hand. I usually do nail art on my left hand because it's easier to paint since I'm a righty. Confusing?
 hope not.
I do all my nail art using acrylic paint because it is easier to work with than nail polish. Although, I always use nail polish as a base for my background color. Well I honestly have no idea how to do this blog so I'm just learning as i go.
