I seem to have a theme this Halloween season. It is all greens and zombies and blood...and I like it. This time, I decided to try something newish: drawing on a nail polish decal with a Sharpie. I knew that Sharpies did well for art, because I used it a bunch last year...but I hadn't yet tried a decal.

Colors Used
Vapid Nail Lacquer Moon Moth
Vapid Nail Lacquer Firestarter
Vapid Nail Lacquer Ablaze
my trusty Sharpie
I couldn't not do a seriotype with the firey shades from Vapid's fall lineup. They were asking for it. So I figured I would just do a decal as an accent...it turned out pretty awesomely, if I do say so myself. Because I am totally unbiased.
Now that I have proof of concept, I will definitely be trying some more intricate doodles. How about you? Ready to jump right into some hand-drawn art for the holiday?
That funky green Vapid is lovely! As for your zombie girl, she looks pretty damn good for being undead haha.
ReplyDeleteThis is a fun mani - I love the decal you created. At first I thought it was a stamping plate! The colors you used over the Vapid are striking!
ReplyDeleteWow!! Love the colors you put together, and awesome freehand!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely gorgeous! <3
ReplyDeleteSuch a great design!! It's so detailed and intricate
ReplyDeleteSuch a great design. So cool and perfect for Halloween
ReplyDeleteIt's been so long since we've seen a Serio-type.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great mani!
ReplyDeleteThat art is amazing! Fantastic mani!
ReplyDeleteLove the way you used the polish shades
ReplyDeleteI love that decal you made! I just got a set of nail art pens from a colleague, so I'm going to try some hand-drawn nail art soon!
ReplyDeleteIf I ever saw a zombie, I would want her to look like your art!
ReplyDeleteOoooooo this color is beautiful!! I'm not keen on zombies, but this color is great. Makes me wish Vapid and I got along so I could get this!
ReplyDeleteThe polishes all work so well together! I'm loving how your seriotype turned out!
ReplyDeleteI love using Sharpies for nail art! I find it helps to use a matte top coat on the polish right before you draw over it, it helps the color stay put and keeps it from sliding around. This is a really cool look!
ReplyDeleteThis is completely spectacular. You have such an amazing eye!
ReplyDeleteWow this is so perfectly done! I love it
ReplyDeleteNo I'm not ready... my hand paint needs a lot of help. And I'm not ready for the holidays either...they are coming up too quickly.
ReplyDeleteThese color combinations are great! As for doing freehand, nope not for me :)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE these! Those three Vapids are my favs of the Fall collection
ReplyDeleteAaaw, she's so cool. I love your zombie girl. Fantastic nail art!
ReplyDeleteI love this! Your art is fabulous and the colors you chose are gorgeous :)
ReplyDeleteThat seriotype is magic!
ReplyDeleteThose colours are amazing! I am speechless.
ReplyDeleteNope, yours is definitely better, more technically advanced and unique!
ReplyDeleteThat is the perfect zombie green..love it!
ReplyDeleteI like the zombies that you done in the header of the post - looks fab!
ReplyDeleteFun concept! Plus these colors!
ReplyDeleteLovely design! It's so shimmery and unique
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't have thought to pair that red and green together, but it works so well! Bravo!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous mani. Did you freehanded that decal? It looks pretty awesome!
ReplyDeleteOh wow!!!! This is so awesome! I love the zombie!!!
ReplyDeleteLove the colors and the decal - worked so well together!
