In some methods you possibly can say that at this time’s look is the final Valentine’s Day nail artwork I actually painted for February. It’s very near being a very pink monochrome. It’s a few ball in order that’s fairly romantic. It has a floral background and horny individuals on it. Particularly reasonable. It’s additionally Halloween-esque as a result of vampires. However let’s face it, now we have Buffy the Vampire Slayer. We’ve got True Blood. We’ve got Vampire Diaries. Vampires are a year-round factor and I do know balls get scheduled all year long, despite the fact that I’m not invited. So let’s simply agree that the precise particular person might get pleasure from this vampire nail artwork all 12 months.
But in addition I’m just a bit 24/7 Halloween. Which might be why I’m sporting glow at midnight ghost socks proper now. 🤣

One of many issues I’ve been raring to color is a mani the place the nails have two totally different colours and the identical stamping sample and also you simply flip them. So mild sample on darkish; darkish sample on mild. The laborious half is that the majority polishes will look totally different when stamped on mild or darkish colours as a result of they aren’t absolutely opaque. You’ll be able to generally discover a stamping plate with two variations of the identical picture and one is the inverse of the opposite so that you solely want to make use of one polish to stamp, however that could be very uncommon. And you may nonetheless run into the issue that I did the place the inverse picture has very huge areas the place the polish wants to choose up completely and you might be struggling. So I ended up not even utilizing the inverse picture for the rose sample and simply swapped which polish was the bottom.
However if you happen to peeled again all of the layers of polish and stamping on this mani, you’ll discover the underside layer is a distinct shade and one nail even has that totally different base polish and a stamped sample that doesn’t even present up on it b/c there isn’t sufficient distinction. Why, sure, I did fumble my solution to success right here. Generally testing out what you’re planning is the sensible factor to do and I don’t do it. LOL
However I like how this turned out and I’m simply bummed my laziness about including nail polish thinner to my smudge free high coat resulted in a variety of undesirable bubbles. I edited out some, however not all. It’s…fairly unhealthy. 😬

Instagram is giving me a variety of grief about tagging individuals in my feedback so I’m kinda again to sq. one on serving to y’all discover the individuals. Linking to accounts nonetheless means you’d must scroll if you happen to got here to this submit later. One of the simplest ways could be to mainly stalk their accounts and hyperlink every submit straight, however that’s a variety of further work that I don’t have the time/power for. Particularly since life can occur generally and a participant might find yourself posting their design months later. Sadly, I’m in all probability simply going to wave the flag of give up right here. 😕
