I didn't want a black or white background, and I didn't want color or nothing at all, so I went with my only choice: grey. I've been wanting to wear lace for a long time as well so I decided to put it on, rather than try painting stripes cause I really hate that. In the beginning I wanted to sponge over the lace with a darker grey to get a shadowy pattern, but when I put the lace over my nail everything just clicked.
Doing splatter was hilarious. I used crimson red and a dark brown and mixed it up with water. My first batch was a bit brown so when I was done playing I added more red and went over it again. When it was dry I used this lovely bloody red polish and dotted it over the big splatters to give it dimension. This is what it looks like!
I took the pictures before cleaning my hands because this just looks awesome.
Here's the design I made a few days ago, I wasn't very happy with it and didn't think it deserved its own post, but I might as well throw it in here anyway.

DeleteJust thin out acrylic paint with water, or nail polish with nailpolish remover or nailpolish thinner. I used bloody, red colors!
