Show Off Your Talent - The Nail Art Thread! - Page 2

That's awesome! I love how you did the little spiders. Might gonna copy that as well (damn, my to-do list is exploding)

Really easy dots: 

Pinkie: Snowcone with Pixy Stix dots
Ring: Lollipop with Snowcone dots
Middle: Gumdrop with Lollipop dots
Index: Lemonade with Pixy Stix dots

I want to do more nailart but I simply don't have the time

Wow, y'all are SO talented!  Thanks for sharing all your fabulous designs!!

I only recently have started a nail polish collection and change my polish a couple times a week. I'm doing good just to get the polish neatly on my nails! 

You girls are amazing. Seriously. 

i love looking at your nail art! so cute! keep on posting them =]

This is my first attempt ever at nail art.  This thread was very inspiring and I had to give it a go!   Next time I'll clean up the edges BEFORE I take pictures.  LOL

All of these are sooo awesome... But I LOVELOVELOVE your Frankenstein one, Kayla Shevonne!

Darn!! All these are great that you gals recently did. I totally forgot to check this thread and now I only have a few days before Halloween to do one of these. Arrrgghhh!! I was on vacation last week and had left over Ick-A-Body on and then left my nails bare after this past weekend. Oh well I guess I can do some of these next year. Kayla you've done such a great job! Thanks for sharing your creativity!

I have a two questions though....is that base coat what helps some of the peeling of the n/p? That Ickabody I used chipped and peeled the the very next day. Also where can I get the Seche Vite top coat without ordering online? 

Seriously, these are awesome! I love love love your interpretation of the pumpkins!

I decided to try the Frankenstein nails that were posted above as part of my Halloween series and this is what I came up with:

 

 

I used:

China Glaze Strong Adhesion Base Coat

OPI - Who The Shrek Are You? (face)

L.A. Colors Art Deco - Black (hair, nose, mouth, stitches)

China Glaze - White on White (white of eyes)

China Glaze - Liquid Leather (black of eyes)

Seche Vite Top Coat

 

And my most recent Halloween manicure:

 

 

The glitter was an afterthought and I wish I would have thought about it before I started the design of the faces because it took much longer to try and get around the face designs with the glitter then it would have had I just used the glitter on top of the black base. However, when I finished it just seemed like it was missing something so I added the glitter to make it look more like night time and that the jack-o-lanterns are shining through.

 

I used:

China Glaze Strong Adhesion Base Coat

China Glaze - Liquid Leather (base)

L.A. Colors Art Deco - White (base for face details)

Orly - Crush On You (lighter orange)

OPI - Brights Power (darker orange highlight)

Color Club - Si Vous Please! (glitter top coat over black base)

Seche Vite Top Coat

This thread inspired me to try some nail art of my own. Please don't laugh. They're supposed to be spiderwebs.

Thanks Kayla! I'm going to Sally's this morning to look for both of those items. Also I have to say again you have some incredible talent!! I dont know how you do so great at those designs! The other day I tried to do just basic webs much like yours and the brush was making them too wide and the n/p wasnt opaque enough so it needed another coat which ended up in a uneven ugly thing . The spider looked like a 3 yr old painted it on . I was using a nail art brush and a felt tip nail art pen I got at Sally's. I need to do something for the Halloween parties we're going to tonight but afraid to attempt anything you've done because it will look like a mess again and I"ll be so frustrated. You should do some tutorials on your nail designs!! It would help greatly for us ameauters

So stinkin' cute, everyone!!!  Love them ALL!!

I haven't got any talent here

But I love this look by Julia:

I love doing 3D nail art, personally. These seem to be the only pictures I have.:/

Kayla, your nails are fucking incredibleeeee. No joke!

How on earth do you do your other hand? Are you ambidextrious?

That's incredible! *bows* 

Jeesh, I'm speachless after seeing your artwork (I think it's fair to call it that) :)

Come over to my house RIGHT NOW, and do this to my nails!!!!!!!

*faints*

Conservative job be damned!!!!!  lol.

Hahaha that's awesome! Love that :) 

Here's a recent marble that was inspired by Flounder the Fish from The Little Mermaid:

I used Orly Lemonade and Snowcone (over one coat of Snowcone)

Kayla Shevonne, your nail art is absolutely incredible. I can barely get my regular polish to go on straight. I'm absolutely in love with you're Remembrance Day design- it's stunning!!!

I love your designs, Kayla. They're clean and awesome.

Here is my simple Halloween 2011 nail art:

Black Cat on the Red Roof. 

Here are my rainbow nails probably my favorite design yet. Although this design was very time consuming and I used 20 different polishes it was well worth it. Possible the hardest part of the design was finding all the perfect colors.

Wow, nice job everyone! There is TONS of great nail art inspiration in this thread.

Kayla - where did you go!?! Your ideas are so amazingly creative!!

I'd like to try to bring this thread back. I just recently got into nail art. Here's something I did last weekend. I'd been watching a bunch of tutorials on Youtube and just had to try this one. And it's SO easy!!

I used OPI Lust in the Dusk as the base colour, and then some random top coat from some nail set I have :)

Hooray for newspaper nails!

And here's a shot of my nails in the mirror - it'd be really neat if I could figure out a way to have the writing the right way on the nails... ideas anyone?
