Not sure if there is a thread up at the moment I couldnt see one at a glance.

Here's some of mine so far...just playin around..x
 
How about opening it up to all brands as opposed to just Shellac? You may get some more pics and I'm sure you can find Shellac in a similar/alternative colour? Just a thought lovey, if not ignore me ;) xx

I use Shellac and Recolution equally with my designs :)
This here is my first attempt to recreate "The Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg" using Shellac.
Next week I will be using LCN on a client to do this same design with a couple of tweaks.

My first attempts! Will be having another go when I find time.
 
I'm having a 'play' tonight. But I found this pic on Pinterest, I thought it was a great bit of inspiration. I especially love the eyes... ImageUploadedBySalonGeek1412754452.772149.jpg
 
Sorry any gel polish system :))) I just do t understand stand say on that bottom picture off Pinterest let's say the top monster ones you have the base colour so 2 minutes curing , then the black for the mouth with white teeth on top? How long would you cute the black for? 2 minutes ? Then the White 2 minutes? Seems very time consuming or can you just set it for 30 seconds as not full layer?

Do you not use an led lamp? You can cure under the for 30 seconds as opposed to 2 minutes! X

Shame! I recommend you invest in an LED lamp. Cost quite a bit to start out with but my god you won't regret it! X

I've just had a very quick play. 30 seconds curing for each detail worked fine for me :)

These are mine!!
 
I use the 10 second button on my CND lamp to flash freeze the details and then at the end of the design I do a full 2 minutes.
Simple set with colour changing gel on tips.

Can you flash cure shellac art details? I thought it all had to be completely cured? This would make my life a hell of a lot easier!

I know that CND Shellac can be flash cured however my other line is LCN Recolution UV gel polish and it cannot be flash cured because of shrinking/wrinkling.
I don't use anything but Shellac or acrylic paints for designs.

Flash curing is brilliant for art!

Haven't done many Halloween pops but I have just received this very snazzy Halloween glitter mix! I love it!! Will stick it on a pop and show you all a bit later!

Here are some I've knocked up quickly, using decals because I'm pants at freehand! Also, the Halloween glitter I posted earlier.
