spatter up.

Dexter nails!!! 
I didn't come up with this 'technique' but I did it &
 I would say that any skill level can handle this. It's literally painting your nails white
and spitting/blowing paint onto them with a regular straw. 


Check out the full spatter tutorial on 


Btw... I'm still disturbed by the fact that the strip club dicks made the sweet bartender 
who loved his family kill himself last night. Not cool.

diy. skelly nails.

skelly nails.

Supplies:
(found mine on ebay)
Photoshop & Printer
Scissors
Base Color & Top Coat


Here is a screen shot of my print out, but I can share the hi-res file with you
if you ask me nicely.

I've done this twice now, once on a laser jet & once on an inkjet. So far I had the best luck on the laser jet and got a lot of smearing from the inkjet printer. However, for my halloween nails the smearing actually made is look more ghostly, so it worked out. 
I will look into this in the future.

Mini designs.


1. Once you have your print out, cut out your little designs. 
2. Literally apply it exactly as you would a temporary tattoo to your skin.  
3. Design, face down on the nail bed.
4. Sopping wet paper towel or sponge directly on top for approx 15-30 seconds.
5. Lift paper off carefully and the design will have transfered.

After I have applied the sponge.

After the paper was lifted off. All that's left if the top coat, which
can you be done immediately.
