Well the other day I was thinking of transparent animals, because no one can stop me. That lead to me thinking of veins that you can see through skin. And I wondered could I do that on nails?
I knew I was going to have to sandwich blue in between a sheer nutral. Now I had nothing that matched my skin so I used a random Nailene french mani polish. As well as Milani Dude Blue(ugh) for the veins. Finally I added a layer of matte topcoat.
Now there's a few things you should take note of when looking at these photos. 1) The Camera tends to make the Nailene polish look a lot yellower when under light that's not natural. 2) The more light the less visible the veins were in photos. In real life they look more like the last 2 photos. Which were taken with a tiny bit of natural light 3) What I'm trying to say is these were IMPOSSIBLE to photograph. Any lighting I would consider good lighting essentially washes out the veins.
Now this is a semi fail because this actually looks pretty cool in real life. The "skin" looks a lot more natural and the veins are a bit more visible. But not too visible. Enough that they look sort of like veins :P
You guys get any weird nail ideas? Do you actually go through with them even though they my fail?
Okay those are weird. But yeah, I guess you did transparent nails. I would never have thought of transparent animals, unless you count jellyfish or ghost shrimp. .
ReplyDeleteKas, these are super cool! I love it when you get "those" ideas. ^_^
ReplyDeleteThis idea *is* weird, but I love how it looks! I wish it would look that pretty in real life o.O""

ReplyDeleteIt's so cool and well painted, they look perfect!
ReplyDeleteThese are awesome! Definitely something I would play around with closer to Halloween.
ReplyDeleteThanks! And they would be really cool for Halloween! And you could get away with more prominent veins! I was going for a more natural look :P
DeleteI really like this idea - it's so weird that it's cool! :D
ReplyDeleteHaha this is such a neat idea... a little freaky, but cool! :D
