Nail Fun
Nail Fun is all
about having fun with your nails.
Layering it, splattering it, making pretty patterns with it … it’s the
most fun you can have on your own with a child in the house !! J
CARRIE !!!!
So, the theme
for this week’s PAA Monday mani was film / tv / book inspired and I’ll admit, I
struggled, having foolishly done a vampire mani a few weeks before. I decided if I couldn’t think of anything, I would
do Freddy Kreuger’s jumper (and therefore my first tape mani in black and red)
and then a strange thing happened – everywhere in the blogosphere this week, I saw
drip manis and so – Carrie, ta-dah!
Carrie, the
Stephen King book, the Sissy Spacek film, sees our strange heroine bucketed in
pig’s blood at the prom. Any mani that
allows me to make blood splatters is a winner, so off I went! I struggled with thinking what base colour to
use. I initially was going to use a red
base (to add to the drama of the blood and give it some depth) but I couldn’t
get the combination of reds right.
Eventually, I settled on a contrast colour – Color Club’s WORTH THE
RISQUE – which also felt quite prom-like.
Drip mani is
easier than it looks. You paint the tips
of your nails, then you take your dotting tool (medium size) and dot the
drips. I then did a few random dots as
well.
On the middle
nail, I tried to create a pool of blood, but it didn’t quite work – oops.
I did love how
this turned out – I’ll be returning to the drip theme again methinks.
Have fun
