Vamp Tips

OPI 40 comments

I felt the need to do something different and this is what happened:
I wanted to create the illusion that my nail beds formed a point. Kinda creepy... but kinda cool! They look like reversed vamp nails! Maybe I was subconsciously inspired by the recent premiere of the 3rd season of True Blood or maybe the newest movie in the Twilight series (also the 3rd...). Whatever it was, it worked! I like this.
Notice the black line. Without it, the manicure looks very unfinished.

Skin toned color- OPI "Canberra't Without You"
(topped with Essie "Matte About You" to reduce shine)
Dark Red- OPI "We'll Always Have Paris"
Black line- Stripe Rite (Black)
How do you feel about it?
I think it looks pretty good. I just wish I'd had a darker flesh tone color to match my skin better!

    I really like this! It's got an edgy feel without being completely unpractical like stiletto nails, I think it's a good substitute :]

    This is an outstanding design. I've been wanting to do something with a deep red polish and this is great inspiration.

    AWESOME! Did you use guides to get the tip shape?

    Arrianne said...

    I don't think it's creepy. Well it is, but creepy = awesome in my world.

    A great way to get a nail color that completely matches your skin tone is to take a mineral or loose powder makeup that you have (that matches your skin tone, of course) and mix a little with clear polish. It's a way to achieve the ultimate mannequin hands look.

    This is REALLY pretty. I couldn't tell *at all* that used a nude base .. it matches your skintone really well! I love this look. And it would look nice with different colors too!
