31DC2013: Day Twenty-Nine - Inspired by the Supernatural

Posting my nails inspired by the supernatural very late today. It took me a long time to  decide on  how to do this manicure - I'm not really into anything related to this subject. It seemed fascinating when I was very young and although it still is, I just haven't really been interested enough to read up about it.
I started with Barry M Gelly in Lychee. Then I stamped with Konad Black from the image plates QA8 for the skull and crossbones, the Gals Fairy Set GA36 for the single skull image, Konad M94 for the bat image, which I stamped multiple times and Konad M91 for the black cat. I finished with the Rimmel Pro Matte Finish Topcoat.

Liquid sand and two toned stamping

For this look, I used:
Base Polish: Bourjois 10 days No chips No 15
Accent Nail: OPI Liquid Sand Get Your Number
Stamping Polish: Barry M Gelly Guava and Plum
Image Plate: Konad M94

I did this manicure last night and nothing seemed to work! I had thought of using a dotting tool to create cute little flowers on one nail but I didn't like how they looked so I re-painted that nail. Then I tried a gradient and didn't like how that looked. In the end I settled for a two toned stamp with the M94 plate.

For the two toned stamp, I painted alternate lines on the image on the stamping plate with the Guava and the Plum, scraped parallel to those lines so that the colours don't mix and then stamped the result onto my nails.

I never thought I would like a textured nail but I love the OPI Liquid Sand Polishes. They manage to look matte and sparkly at the same time. And they are easier to remove then glitters though of course, more difficult than a creme.
