Party Nails - Nails Inc Leather Effect With Skulls

Follow my blog with Bloglovin I have been stashing my newish Nails Inc Leather Effect  for some time now waiting for an opportunity to Bling it up!
What better place for insanely OTT nails than one of my besties housewarming party

Ok so first of all I might as well crack out a bit of a review from a nail newbie (sometimes the seasoned blooggers are all like "blah blah blah so easy to apply blah blah blah" then you try it yourself and I'm all like Wuuut daaahhhh????

so yeahhhhh

Leather Effect... like seriously this was ONE coat when I first applied it I was all awwwh this doesn't look that great (que sad face) buuut I suppose it's opaque in one coat... maybe the next coat will make it leathery
NOPE it just needed time to dry - like seriously this stuff is 'totes amazeballllllz'

buuut yeah enough steam blowing back to the manicure

I used 2 coats of W7 in black on my index finger for the art I had planned for it.
but boy was that hard to get a decent photograph, in the end I relented and just used the flash

So for this nail I got some thin thin thin striping tape and criss crossed it across my nail and painted the leather effect on top. Yall know the drill but juuuuust in case you have been more under a rock than me Sammy does a lovely tutorial for you =]

This nail looked maybe 50% better in real life it was very subtle with the black on black but the matte v shiney and the slight texture of the Leather effect was just lovely

The Rest of the nails where relatively straight forward. I have yet to invest in new pinking shears yet (I am still rather pennyless) so I stuck some tape (Primark) to a piece of backing from stickers I had lying around and chopped some ziggyzaggs in it (this took several attempt to get them small enough buuuut once I did it was a simple process of taping off the end and painting it silver. I then taped off a triangle on my iddy biddy and applied some nail glue and caviar balls (glue was for longevity this manicure had a full night of house part to contend with) - it looked much more trianngley in real life - silly macro shots =[ buttt ahh well
I also Glued on the skulls that came with my Leather effect and bada bing bada boom

Trying out some new photoshopping - read I have too much time on my hands- but what may interest you about these nails is that this was taken the DAY AFTER

baring in mind you cant top coat the leather or it loses its effect this stuff has some longevity

As I said I was at a house party for these and there wasn't a scratch on them the next day. No I am not gentle on my hands I was up and down ladders and crawling on my hands and knees (my friend has a mezzanine thing above the living room and the only way up is to climb up a ladder then hoist yourself up)

the obvious being naughty and using my nails to open cans and general ruckus that occurs at house parties of people trying to forget they aren't students anymore (or at least that what I was doing) 

basically what I am trying to say is Leather Effect absolutely ROCCCCCKKKKKKSSS =]
