T.N.C.C. - Halloween Month #2

Hi Girls!

For the second Halloween Manicure I have created a orange spun sugar over a dark .. brown/red/purple base :-). I can't decide what color my base color really is.

Products I have used:

• Golden Rose Selective - Nr. 34 Brandy Dessert -> bought from www.cosmenia.ro
• Maybelline NY - Nr. 460 Orange Couture -> this is the first polish I have presented on the blog and I still have it and like it!

The Techniques Challenge - #5 Spun Sugar Nails

Hi Girls!

I am back with a new Technique Challenge: Spun Sugar Nails.

How to create a Spun Sugar design? Well actually it is super simple!

Step 1.  Put a drop of nail polish onto your work area. Allow it to thicken!

Step 2. At this point your polish has thickened. Grab an orange stick, a dotting tool or toothpick and dip it into the polish. Now lift the thickened polish over your nails. 

Step 3 is optional. You can apply a top coat but than you will loose the 3D effect.

Products I have used:

• Farmec - Flip-Flop
• Natty - Nr. 32
• Natty - Nr. 381

I like how it turned out. Next time I will definitely use more powerful colors.

The next challenge will be Stripes and will be posted on the 16th of September, 2013.
