Halloween Nail Art & Shooting Star Nail art

Yes, I know I haven't been blogging about Nail Art Designs for while since I was pre-occupied by baking.  But the long awaited blog post is here. First off, I found a website with many cute nail art designs and I decided to try one of those designs for myself thus the first nail art design. And since Halloween is just around the corner about 9 days more. I wanted a nail design for the event thus I combined 5 different designs into one nail art design. I used the designs from IHaveACupcake from youtube. Though one of the design was inspired by my spider stud earrings.

Shooting Star Nail Art

Items  I used:
Folk Art - Kelly Green
Folk Art - Titanium White
Folk Art - Purple
Folk Art - Pure Orange
Folk Art - Yellow Light
Folk Art - Ocean Cruise
Folk Art - Pink
Small Fine Paint Brush
Posh - Nail Strengthening Base Coat
Posh - Super - Fast Drying Top Coat
OPI - Black Onyx
Design : Rainbow Shooting Star (scroll down till you see the name)
 Start with the base coat. 
 2 Coats of OPI Black Onyx
Lastly, using the Acrylic Paints. While mixing a bit of white to each colour making it abit lighter.  Paint  Strokes of each colour making a rainbow or however you like. After that make stars at the end of the strokes. You can use various methods; stamp them, paint them or even use those glitter stars to stick them on. After that just paint a coat of topcoat and the design is finished. Though I did not really like the end results.
