Ghost Nail Art - My First Stud Manicure!
9:00:00 AM
Good morning! How are all you lovely people today? I'm doing well! Especially because I have yet to bail on bringing you a Halloween manicure each post during October! I'm really loving today's post since it turned out exactly as I pictured it in my head! Don't you love it when that happens?
I completed today's manicure using the new Nail Art Society kit curated by my fellow renowned artist Emily of Very Emily. This kit, known as the I Love Studs Kit, contains a bottle of Jessica polish in Black Matte, 2mm orange studs, 2mm purple studs, 2mm pink studs, and 3mm gold studs. If you have yet to dive into the world of studs, this kit might be perfect for you! I never have used studs, and this kit was a perfect introduction to them!
Since I wanted to stick with the Halloween theme, I decided to use the orange and purple studs along with the Jessica Black Matte polish. Let's take a look at what I came up with....
- Jessica - Black Matte
- Sinful Colors - Snow Me White
- China Glaze - Ghoulish Glow
Yup, another glowing manicure! Let's take a look at the glowing ghosts!
Cute, right?! I love this manicure so much more because of the studs! I started off with a base coat of Black Matte on all my nails. This polish applied decently and I had full coverage with two coats. When my thumb and ring finger were dried, I took my nail art brush and painted on the little ghosts. After the white was dried, I used my smallest dotting tool and dabbed on Ghoulish Glow. With my medium sized dotting tool, I created the little eyes and mouth.
Applying the studs was easier than I thought it would be. I asked some of my fellow renowned artists how they applied studs and followed their advice. When the polish was still wet, I used my stud Picker Upper (purchased from Sally Beauty), and placed them on the nail. As the polish dried, the studs dried exactly where I wanted them to. If you don't have a handy dandy Picker Upper, you can use a toothpick that's a little wet, or your dotting tool with some top coat on it.
What do you think of the look? Liking the studs? Liking the glowing ghosts?
