Beware the kraken!
I love tentacled creatures.. octopi, squid, sea monsters, they're all so neat. I've been wanting to do a tentacle mani and finally got around to it. I used Deborah Lippmann's Across the Universe as my base and I'm so happy I did.. it looks very seawater-y, doesn't it? I like it. And since I'm on a glow kick, the tentacles glow in the dark too! I wish I could get a picture of it, but it never turns out when I try.
I really, really want to try doing a 3d version of this someday.. I think it'd look so cool. Anyway, that's all for me tonight! :)

I love this, so perfect :)
ReplyDeleteI'd love to know you you made it!
Very cool!
ReplyDeleteAwesome!
ReplyDeleteHow do you do this with regular nail polish? It is not as forgiving as acrylic paint. Wow, I am just amazed. This is awesome.
ReplyDeleteI can't but agree with Sonoma Bento; I'm utterly stunned that you managed to pull this off with polish. So bloody fantastic!
ReplyDelete(And how could anyone not love tentacles? ;-) )
That is beautiful! So perfect and clean too.
ReplyDeleteThis looks great! I love your tentacles :)
ReplyDeleteThank you everyone! :)
ReplyDeleteI actually find polish easier to deal with in most cases.. the acrylic paint I have isn't the best and it's too fluid and not as opaque as I'd like. Polish is usually very opaque and thicker and I just find it easier to control and get precise details.
Love this!
