So, this week's Polish Hoarder Disorder Challenge was vampire nails. Not like, vampires on your nails, but what kind of manicure would a vampire have? You can check out the Challenge Gallery HERE:
Something dark & chic I thought, but with a hit of something sharp ... I was going to do a tutorial, but the colors were just too dark to show up on video. I started with a base of 2 coats of Zoya Pinta, gorgeous vampy purple creme, and I let that dry completely. I cut painter's tape into a chevron shape, covered the tip of my finger, and then sponged the base with Zoya Rihana. I am in LOVE:
Even being in love, I'm still only 90% happy LOL. I had some bubbling, I'm not sure if from the uneven texture of the sponged area, I'm actually thinking my Seche is the more likely culprit. I also wish I'd made Rihana just a little intense, sponged it a bit further down. But that's OK, because I'm going to do this in another color combination so I can do a tutorial, so I can hopefully make the adjustment then =)
Thanks for reading.

ReplyDeleteI have been having trouble with Seche bubbling this summer, too. I thought it was just me and my application. Maybe I am not altogether to blame. lol

ReplyDeleteI looove Rihana over this, it's so gorgeous. I would've left out the chevron tip though so we could see more Rihana.
ReplyDeleteARRIANNE - I really liked Rihana, I'd like to make time to wear it alone but I have so many untrieds LOL
