Hey guys! Welcome back to another throwback mani! Today we are going all the way back to 2013. That was before I was even "blogging" at that time I was just on Instagram and I had super long nails and I thought they looked nice whereas now I see them and cringe. Anywhoo lets check out this mani!
So this mani was inspired by THIS one. I had to notify it and change it a bit to fit on this nail length, and turns out I actually like this look better. Don't get me wrong, I do like long nails I just find them much harder to maintain. Granted these are a bit too. I have little battles with myself all of the time trying to decided to keep them short or long or in-between. Ha in these photos for example, I don't care for the shape. However tomorrow post nail shape I really like. Yet get this, both manis were painted on the same night, within minutes of each other. Isn't that weird how much colors can change the overall look and play mind tricks on you.
For this look I used Mariposa by Takko Lacquer. Which is not available anymore but while we are talking about Takko Lacquer I have an update for you! Tomorrow, Oct 13th they will be restocking from their last release at 8pm EST. You can check everything out on the site HERE.
This was fun to recreate and I'm pretty happy with it. I'm actually really liking how this Digital Dozen week has turned out. Its been fun manis and actually has made me go out of my comfort zone. No it wasn't a Halloween Themed Week but.... I tried to do throwback halloween manis to push myself to do something I don't typically like. :) I can't wait to show you tomorrows mani! So I will talk to you all tomorrow!
Happy Painting!

Perfect halloween freehand art! And that is pretty cool that both of the manis were painted on the same night!
ReplyDeleteI've been loving doing multi designs on one night! I think its that "Yay this idea worked, maybe this one will too!"
DeleteI definitely feel the nail cringe when I see some of my old manis. I can't believe I let my nails get that long (and crooked =/ ). This mani is super cute!
ReplyDeleteRight! It bugs me so much! Especially when they aren't actually crooked but the design makes it look that way! Ugh it will bug me for the next 24 hours until I redo them! This is probably why I file my nails daily!
DeleteYour freehand skills are amazing! I'm jealous, in 2013 I was still having issues not flooding my cuticles with polish haha.
ReplyDeleteOoooh I love this. It's like haunted pumpkin mansions!
