Hello
there lovely readers!
So
the Halloween nails series continues...so far this year we've had
Toxic Slime & Tombstones, Dripping Blood Tips & some Spooky Jack O Lanterns. I actually wasn't sure if I was going to blog this manicure as I couldn't decide if I liked the result or not but
hey ho, here we go with it anyways! Here's something a little
different with some cartoon style Stitched Hearts...
Random
is my middle name & I guess this is definitely that! I was
inspired by an image I recalled spotting on Pinterest yonks ago! I
guess this could double as a rather dark Valentines mani too haha!
To
create the design start with a white base, here I've applied one coat
of Models Own White Light Hypergel.
Then
use a red polish & thin nail art brush to free-hand a heart shape
starting from the middle & ending at the tips. I've used Rimmel
Double Decker Red. Draw the outline of
your heart first before filling in.
Next
outline the hearts with black, you can use a nail art pen for this
but I just used some black polish & a thin nail art brush.
For
the stitches, draw a thin black line down the centre of the hearts
using your black polish & then add on your little stitches all
the way along the line, adding a few stitches to the curved edges of
your hearts too.
As
an additional detail I grabbed my red polish again & sponged on
some splatters of red blood on to the white parts of the nail. A
little tip - I used one of those eye shadow sponge brushes that you
get in palettes which are almost always never used or thrown out!
Well now you know what you can use them for ;)
Finish
it all off with topcoat & you're done! I hope you're enjoying the
Halloween nails, let me know if you have any requests! Thanks as
always for reading!
Lotsa love to ya!
