Halloween nail art contest!

Julie from Short & Sweet in Texas is hosting a fb nail art contest for halloween!   The contest goes til Oct 16th and the winner gets a $20 Born Pretty Store gift card!  You should join in!  Here’s all the info!

For this nail art I hand-painted spiders and webs on 4 fingers using a skinny nail art brush.  On the other fingers I used the RUFFLE technique (see Chalkboard Nails’ dandy ruffle tutorial here) using the largest dotting tool I could find.  Believe me, you’ll want to make big dots or you’ll be sitting there forever dotting and dotting until your mind slips away into halloween madness.  I counted my little dots and there’s 164 dots on one hand.  So 328 altogether!  The last time I did ruffles I used a bigger dotting tool and it seemed to go much quicker, so save yourself the hassle and make BIG DOTS!

Here’s the 4 polishes I used for this halloween spider manicure:

Art Orange ♥ AVON

Liquid Leather ♥ China Glaze

Lickety-Split Lime ♥ Sally Hansen

I’m a Belieber ♥ Nicole by OPI

Make sure to vote for your fave on the Short & Sweet in Texas facebook page.  The pic with the most LIKES wins the prize!  Wish me luck in the contest!
