Halloween Challenge Oct 26- Graveyard


I'm running a bit late getting this post up. I just didn't have time to do the post yesterday. I'm not very happy with these nails but I totally forgot until yesterday morning about them and I was thinking today was the 26 instead of yesterday so I ended up having to do my nails in about 20 minutes before running out the door to help my friend dress shop. There are lots of things I would change about these but I got them done. 


I wanted to do day/night nails so I could do writing on the stones and do creepy outlines. I really could have done the gradient from day I night much better. That's what bothers me most about this mani. 


For the day nails I used:

Essie- In the Cab-Ana
Sinful Colors- Innocent
Pure Ice- Kiss Me Here
Sally Girl- Skull

The base on the gradient nail is China Glaze White on White and I sponged the colors for the background on. 


For the night nails I used:
Pure Ice- Kiss Me Here
Sally Girl- Skull

I did sponging for the ground and the background on the middle nail and I used a fine nail art brush for the gravestones and writing.

I dislike these enough that I don't really want to post them -but- nobody does perfect nails all the time and I think it's important to show things like this, especially if we learned something from it. So even though I hate these and they only lasted a few hours, it's a (couple) lesson learned for me. : )
