Friday Nails: Smouldering Hot Coals Nail Tutorial

  By nionvox | March 2, 2012 - 6:00 am | , , ,

Hey Strangekittens! Here’s the Friday nail tutorial. This one I wanted the look of devilishly hot coals.

As usual, make sure you dry adequately between coats. I soak my fingertips in ice water for a couple minutes to make it set quicker.

You will need:

opi/sally hansen/wetnwild

- Base and top coat of your choice, I highly recommend OPI’s set

- Sally Hansen Xtremewear in ‘Red Carpet’

- Wet ‘n Wild Fastdry in ‘The Gold and the Beautiful’

- OPI Black Crackle

Step One

Base coat. Then two coats of Red Carpet.

Step two

One thin coat of The Gold and the Beautiful.

Step three

One vertical stripe of Black Crackle, down the middle of the nail.

Step four

Finish with a topcoat, and you’re done!

 

Have a great weekend, kittens!

    This is the first use of a crackle polish that I’ve liked! I usually find it kinda bleh. This is super spiffy. ^_^

    It looks weird without a topcoat I think, it comes out matte otherwise

      I wonder if that’s a feature of whatever makes the crackle polish do it’s crackly thing?

        I’m not sure. Perhapsss!
