Halloween Nail Designs

Hey everyone! Awesomeness coming your way. Check out my new nail model Rita Mann's fabulous nails. She has been so kind to do some examples and has even included the names of the nail polish she used. I hope you enjoy these and I think the designs will be up in the silhouette store soon. Just wanted to make sure you all had a chance to see the instructions :) Have a wonderful Halloween!!!!!! PS: Remember that you may want to try using blue masking tape instead of vinyl if you are having trouble with residue or if the vinyl is peeling off your nail polish :) Halloween Nail Art Tutorial What I Used: 1.     OPI Natural Nail Base Coat 2.     OPI Alpine Snow 3.     Essie Stylenomics 4.     Sally Hansen Rock Bottom 5.     Sinful Colors Happy Ending 6.     Sinful Colors Cloud 9 7.     Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat Step 1: Always start with a base coat on clean nails.

Need a Hand/Nail model

Hey everyone! I am looking for someone to model my nail designs. My nails are horrible :( You don't have to be in the same state as me. What you need: - All you need is a cutting machine (doesn't have to be a silhouette but it needs to be able to open SVG or DXF files) - vinyl/blue scotch tape - great nails/hands - the ability to take great clean pictures - punctual with sending pictures/ meet a deadline - Be good at painting your nails :) - this might be an ongoing thing so you need to consider that What you will be asked to do: - be my hand model for instructions and the final look for each of my nail designs. - take nice, clean, clear pictures - be on time with sending me pictures. What do you get: - all of the nail designs free - 5 of my shapes from the silhouette library (your choice) per nail design template you use (5 for the stars pattern, 5 for the heart pattern etc.) How it works: - I will send you the nail design(s) as both a DXF file and a

More Nail Designs

Hope everyone is having fun with these :) here are some more. Some tips: - sometimes the vinyl leaves some residue- just use some rubbing alcohol before applying your final coat. - do not glob on your nail polish....it takes forever to dry and when you peel off your template it just makes a hug mess. If you are inpatient like me I would suggest a quick dry nail polish. You can purchase them at the silhouette store at http://www.silhouetteonlinestore.com/v2/viewPortfolio.aspx?artistId=2581.

Nail Templates

Want some awesome nails but don't want to spend the time hand painting them. Well I have the thing for you!!! These are nail polish templates! So excited about this! Here are my first templates with hopefully more to come :) Things to know before you start: - You will need to use vinyl. It works so well and comes right off. - Make sure your nail polish dries completely before you place your template on your nails or take it off. - There are 13 different sizes that have a rounded side and then a more squared side for your toes. Instructions: - Start with clean nails. - Cut out your design using silhouettes vinyl. - Paint your nails with your base color(s) This is the color non white colors above just so you can see what your final look might look like. - pick the best size to fit your nail. They should fit like a fake nail. The zig zag one is different. It has a border around it so make sure the inside part fits to the sides of your nails. - place your design and sm

3D Castle

K, I really need some feedback. I have spent so much time on this 3d castle, but is it worth it. Would you want to take time to make it. This picture shows it in plain white, missing the rest of its turrets and window/door details. It has already taken 6 sheets of paper without the missing details and turrets.
