Nail-aween Challenge Day 6: Frankenstein

Monday, October 22, 2012
For some reason I was really nervous about the Frankenstein manicure for Day 6 of the Nail-aween challenge. Maybe it is because I had no idea what I was going to do until I actually sat down to make it or maybe because I really wanted to do something unique and special since there are a lot of Frankenstein manicures out there already. Regardless of the reason, I was psyching myself out.

This morning I woke up feeling really under the weather and barely dragged myself out of bed by the afternoon. Funny thing about being sick (and wanting to go back to bed) is that you stop worrying about the little things. I stopped worrying about making it perfect and ended up with something I really like...


For the base of the manicure I used a neon green polish by Color Club named What a Shock! It has a satin finish as it dries that inspired me to make this a matte mani. To go with the matte theme, I used Zoya Dovima, a matte black, for the ring finger. For all of the nail art I used black and white acrylic paint. The tips were done with a fan brush and the rest with a small detail brush.


The ring finger is paying homage to The Bride of Frankenstein and her wavy gray streak of hair...


Since I needed a top coat to lock in all the nail art, I used Essie Matte About You to keep everything looking matte...

I really like how this turned out and I hope you to do too...

Let me know what you think of this!
I'm off to drink tea and get back in bed... :)
