NOTD: Spider Web French Tips

More Halloween nails!  I confess to being a little disappointed with this mani though ... it wasn't quite a fail, but not a total success either.  Upon reflection, I think maybe I should have skipped the first coat, and just done one really thick wet layer instead of a mostly-dry but somewhat sticky layer & then a moderate wet layer on top of that.  I'll do that next time =)
 
I used Sephora Pure Plum for the base color, and then marbled the tips in a spiderweb design with Sephora Double Platinum:
 

Here's the tut:
 
 
Thanks for reading =)

    I tried this one and I love it!

    PS: I was lazy and tried using only 1 layer of the base colour at first, but it was really hard to drag the pattern without exposing the bare nail underneath. I ended up doing a really thin layer of color plus topcoat, then a second layer + the accent colour, which worked well for me (^(oo)^)v

    How do you keep your nails from breaking, they are so long and healthy looking.

    Hi! Both of these manis are great!

    I just mentioned you on my blog. I tried out your Spider Web mani. Mine was not as perfect as yours of course :)

    I talked about your marble technique but just noticed you also used the toothpick method. Both mani's are hot! I loved the marble but the black with silver is great too!
