Halloween Mani #1: Black Widow

Good Afternoon All!

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Over the next 2 weeks I'll be posting a total of 10 mani's...

5 involving konad/fauxnad/nail art

and

5 basic mani's for those who want to keep it simple.

I also, as most all f you know, took off the acrylics in order to grow out my natural nails.

I was tempted to put on just fake nails (no acrylic) and not do any type of filing or anything (so no damage) so that I'd have a bigger canvas.  Sadly I had two tears d on my weakened tips that went down into the nailbed.  VERY not comfortable.  

So I put on some short tips, just so I'd be able to keep from catching the tears on clothes and allow more of the damage to grow out.  I didn't do ANY filing at all, so no damage will be done!

On to today's nails!!!

Start by painting all but your pinkie with red polish.  

Paint your pinkie black.

-For the ring finger, stamp or hand paint a few spiders, using black polish.

I used Bundle Monster plate BM13.

Then using a tiny brush or striper brush, paint on those red hourglass shaped onto their little bodies.

-For the middle finger, use black polish and either just the brush from the bottle, or a smaller one, and paint so that you leave a large red hourglass shape showing.

-For the Index finger, use a striper brush and draw lines radiating out from a corner of the nail, using black polish.  Then just connect using small curved lines to complete the web!

-For thumb, make a large dot in the middle of the nail, topped with a smaller dot.

Using a black striper, give your spider legs!

Then grab a tiny brush and add 2 red eyes and, of course, that famous hourglass shape!

 

That's it fr today!

I'll be back tomorrow with a simpler, (and better executed) design!
