For this manicure I started out with a base of Wet 'n Wild Black Creme...
I then added three coats of Essence Fly Firefly Fly glow in the dark top coat. It does alter the base color a bit which is why it looks gray rather than black...
I stamped the spiderweb from Bundle Monster plate BM-H07 using Color Club Cherubic, a peachy holographic beauty. The spiders were stamped using Pure Ice Silver Mercedes and Bundle Monster plate BM13. Each spider accented with a red rhinestone...
And now for the glow in the dark shot. Is it OK to admit that it actually creeps me out in the dark? The spiders look too real for comfort... *shudder*. I'm debating entering these in the Bundle Monster nail art contest....
A few photos of Essence Fly Firefly Fly before all the stamping. This is three coats over black. I originally tried just two coats as suggested on the bottle, but it didn't glow quite bright enough. It glows really brightly in the bottle (see photo above), but this doesn't quite translate onto the nail. The effect seems to fade rather quickly after the lights are out. Swatches are with no top coat...
Over black, you can see the little fluorescent particles. More coats equals more particles, less visible base and brighter glow...

ReplyDeletenice design! I'd be terrified if I wore them in the dark haha :D
ReplyDeleteIt looks amazing in the dark!
ReplyDeleteYou should DEFINITELY put these into the Bundle Monster contest! Its creepy beautiful (if you follow the whole ugly-pretty/Trya Banks drift I'm going with here), and one of the most wearable halloween inspired nail art I've seen yet. Amazing job! :D
