All polish Pals!
How are you today? I hope your enjoying
your Friday and Halloween of course, if you celebrate it.
I decided to fit in one more Halloween
inspired nail art before the ghouls come out to play. When I finished
this I sat back and looked at my work and was sort of pleased with
it. Until the final matte top coat and I saw my pictures... Then I
noticed how horrifically streaky the lighter orange appeared which it
doesn't at an eyes glance. Shame but too bad; I am really going to be
working harder to improve my acrylic painting. Here are some festive
pumpkins!
I started off with one thin coat of
Fearne's 'Night Owl' and layered Sporty Girl's black glitter from
their 'Crush On You' collection. I added my circles of orange using
Catrice's 'Orange bloom' and mattified. I then created my details of
the pumpkins using my Oumaxi paints and finished with a top coat. I
then realised I preferred this as it was, matte. Big mistake I think;
That's when I noticed my detailing become streaky. Perhaps less is
more...
Pumpkins! Good to eat? Or just
to carve? What do you think of this nail art?
Have a fantastic evening no matter your
plans,
Love
Ithi
This is such a great Idea for Halloween!

Thank you so much, Julia! I thought it might have been quite an obvious choice for Halloween but I had never done pumpkins before so it was something new for me :) Hope you are having a great weekend too :) xx

Thank you so much, Fife! I hope you enjoyed Halloween, did you find it different celebrating it in England? It was never very popular were I grew up in England! xx
DeleteGreat design. Those are some mean looking pumpkins hehe :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ananka! <3 xx
DeleteOh I looooove these! I don't understand why you're not pleased with it - I think the streakiness makes the pumkpins look more real and scary! Honestly, if you hadn't said "well it's not supposed to look like that" I would never have guessed because I think it looks great this way! I love these a lot, they look so mean and the background is really cool!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Robin! <3 You made me feel much better about these. I think sometimes I can be way too picky on my nail art. I go through periods where I hate all my stuff! Thank you for being so kind :) xx
