Delight In Nails: Priti NYC

Monday, October 15, 2012

On day three of the Nail-Aween Nail Art Challenge, I am presenting my spin on bloody nails. Here's the thing...everyone's seen the blood splatter, and the drip mani. I'm over it, and wanted to do something unique. So, you get to see my interpretation of bloody nails. Take a look!

natural lighting - hmmm kinda looks like spaghetti-os :)

Bloody nails....under a microscope! I was inspired by my husband who is studying nursing. I remember seeing images of what blood looks like under a microscope with all these tiny blood cells, and opted to translate this onto my nails. I think it turned out pretty well. I started with a base of China Glaze Adventure Red-y. Then I used Priti NYC Red Ace Rose, Essie Apertif, and Essie Meet Me at Sunset to draw in and shade my little blood cells. Here is China Glaze Adventure Red-y all by itself.

Summer Challenge Day 1 - Bees

Theodora from Red Hair and Black Nail Polish and Kaki from GlitterObsession put together a Summer Challenge for the month of July! They came up with some fun ideas and it's an every-other- day nail art challenge. I'm pretty excited as this is going to be the first nail art challenge I do where I have a deadline. I'm not very good at those when it comes to nail art (I'm sure you have noticed my Copy Cat Sat's are Copy Cat Sun's a lot of the time), so we'll see what happens. :)

Day 1 (July 1st) is Bees. Here is my take on Bee Nails.

So what do you think? I didn't even know where to start on this one, but I always like to use new polishes that I haven't tried yet. This time I started with Sally Hansen Pixel Pretty for my base - it was one of my only untried blues, so I felt the need to use it. After that, I painted on my flowers and bees with a small paint brush and my new dotting tools. I used so many colors for this, I'll just list them out:

Sally Hansen Pixel Pretty
Pure Ice Super Star!
Sally Hansen Lite
Spoiled I Only Eat Salads
NYC Taxi Yellow Creme
NYC Uptown
NYC High Line Green
Spoiled Pretty In Punk
Julep Brooke
Priti NYC Red Ace Rose
Salon Perfect Tangy Tangerine
COS BAR (no name purple)
Pure Ice Black Rage

Here is a photo of Sally Hansen's Pixel Pretty all by itself.

As always, thank you so much for looking! A full outline of the challenge can be found here. Please be sure to check out the other participants in this challenge!
