Materials I used:
Basecoat - SuperChic Lacquer "Bring It On!"
Polishes - Sinful Colors "Black on Black", Butter London "East End" & "Brick Lane"
Scotch tape
Toothpick
Topcoat - SuperChic Lacquer "Marvel"
I began with a black base polish topped with a quick drying topcoat.
Once dry, I prepped my finger by placing two pieces of scotch tape to create a triangular shape on my finger. Using my Uber Mat as a work surface, I placed three dots of polish in white, orange, and yellow. In order to create a sugar spun design the polish needs to thicken enough to become stringy. When you are able to pull the polish up with a toothpick its ready for spinning. Stir the polish a bit with the toothpick to speed up the process a bit. When the polish is ready, simply pull strings of polish across the nail until you are satisfied with the coverage, I repeated this process with each color.
When finished spinning, remove the tapes. Clean up with gentle acetone and a brush if necessary. I chose not to apply any topcoat over this, because I didn't want to ruin the textured affect. If you choose to use a topcoat be sure to allow ample time for the design to dry, otherwise it will run when you apply the topcoat.
Even though I don't like the taste of candy corn I love this look, and it was incredibly easy to create.
I hope you enjoyed this quick simple Halloween nail art design too. Thanks for stopping by, see you next time.
Your Fellow Plebe,
