Feeling a lil bit hot-rod one day, I thought flame nails would be a good idea. HOT DAMN!
To YouTube! The CutePolish tutorials on YouTube are some of my favourites. Using my newly acquired nail stripers from http://www.sparkly-nails.co.uk, I got busy.
I’m right handed so I had a go painting my left hand with free-hand flames, which in the end came up better than the flames I painted on plastic for my right hand. I used cling-film instead of a thicker lunch bag type plastic, and they ended up kind of wrinkly. They still looked pretty cool, though.
Here are the nails I painted freehand, I don’t seem to have a photo of the other hand.
These I painted on starting with the red then moving in towards the centre of the flame with the orange, followed finally with the yellow. Once it was dry I went around the outside with a black glitter nail striper. The usual Sally Hansen base and top coats (Miracle Cure nail strengthening basecoat and Insta-Dri anti-chip top coat).
What do you think?
