Halloween Spider's web

As Halloween is looming i thought its about time i wrote a blog on spider web nails ready for the night of fright!

 

You will need:
Black Nail Polish
Thin white, silver and glitter Nail Art Pens
(Bought off ebay or from Argos or some drug stores)
Clear Nail Polish.
&
A Steady Hand!

 

(In the photos i have used fake nails as it is easier to paint them and glue them on later. However, the style is easy to complete on your own finger nails.)

 

 

 

 

First Paint all the nails black.

 

 

 

 

Next, using the white nail art pen go from 1 corner of the nail (a top corner is better) and create flicks accross the nail as shown.

 

 

 

 

Using the white nail art pen again, join each of the lines horizontally with straight lines. Repeat this further down the nail also.

 

 

 

 

Next, using the silver nail art pen, carry out step 3 again but between the white horizontal lines.

 

 

 

 

Then, using the glitter pen go over the vertical white lines to give the effect of a silky spider's web.

Finally, put a layer of clear nail varnish over the top to lower the risk of chips, but also to give the finishing product a glossy shine.

If you don't want to paint all of your nails in the same way, I find it also looks good on just the thumb or ring finger or both.

Enjoy!
