Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice (and a little tutorial)!

Hey all!

I promised that I'd be back with my second manicure. This is it, inspired by the movie 'Beetlejuice'.  Admittedly I'd had high hopes for this mani but after all the work doing just one picture of Mr Beetlejuice, I got fed up and didn't finish it.

First,  I painted my nails black with this un-named polish and then put free-hand stripes on with white acrylic paint.  I made a sticker for the face by doing the following (something I saw Amanda do aaaages ago with little hearts):

I let two layers of clear polish dry on a sheet of plastic (you could also use a freezer bag)

I painted on the design after seeing  it on the internet. I started with the white egg shape first and then just built everything else up around it.

I then peeled the design off carefully and applied it to my thumb nail with a little clear nail polish.

Okay. I used a lot of clear nail polish...once again, my generous application caused bubbles. I also should have cut away as much of the hardened clear polish as I could - this would have reduced the bubbles.

I enjoyed wearing these stripes for a day. I think I may do another striped design at some point, but in more subtle colours...so I can wear it to work.
Have a lovely weekend.
