I know, Halloween has already passed, but I still can't get enough of spooky manicures! This one is based off of the tattered wallpaper in an old, spooky Victorian house. First I painted on a beige creme, Essie Sand Tropez, and then sponged on darker taupes and burgundies to create a worn and grungy effect. After I'd added topcoat and let it dry, I stamped on an ornate brocade pattern from Bundle Monster plate BM20 to make it look like antique Victorian wallpaper.
This is gorgeous; I love the photo styling! Also I love this interpretation of spooky manicure, it's subtle and wearable but still completely in the spirit of season, nicely done :D
ReplyDeleteThank you! Yeah, I was thinking I wanted to do something different and not so literal/full of pumpkins (pumpkins are amazing, though!). I have a few other ideas that might show up soon, hopefully! :D
