I finally have another Nails of the Week post for you! I know, it's been a long time coming but the nails I've been doing haven't been that interesting, or haven't been a well known brand. But I'm back! I've been seeing a lot of snake or patterned style nails recently and I thought I'd give it a go!
I didn't have a snake or reptile effect stamping plate and I didn't think my hands were steady enough to draw each of the scales (that, and I didn't have enough time). I instead used one of my Cheeky stamping plates that had a pattern I thought was close to snake skin. I didn't have a silver stamping polish either so I just used a regular polish, but I am happy with how it turned out, because you can only see the design up close, sort of like a secret design!
For the base I used Miss Sporty's Fiery Blaze to create the shiny effect of a snake, as it's duo-chrome and changes in the light. The silver used over the top was just a cheap one that I got in a set a few years back, but as long as it's glittery or foil-like then it should work! I used my Essence Quick Dry Top Coat, which I said in a previous post I wasn't overly keen on but it did the job so I can't complain.
Speak to you next week!
