HI Guys,
Well I couldn't hide from it any longer.......Christmas is coming!
I had this image in my head of what I wanted to create; so when I broke a nail yesterday I thought it would be a good time to give it a whirl!
In the image I wanted red glossy lips as the background with a long glitter tipped nail and 3D holly.
I created the 3D holly 1st. I stripped the plastic off some bag ties. I then created the holly on some tin foil adding one end of the wire to the leaf. Before the holly was fully set I pealed them of the foil & created a curve in them. I then applied beads of red acrylic to some more wires. When they were all set I twisted them together.
For the nail I used the reverse method and I extended my nail bed with NSI's pink mask creating a longer nail bed & dramatic smile line.
I then applied my sculpting form. Mixed my holographic gold glitter with my clear acrylic & applied the free edge. Then capped the glitter with clear.
Filed into shape & applied glaze n go.
I then used a nail dangle drill to create a whole through the nail where I wanted to add the holly. Once the holly is added it can be secured by resin or acrylic.
Here is the image;
