♥ CHAINSAW Mani ♥

So after spending the day wearing Sally Hansen Cappuccino I wanted to do something a little different. I got my pinking shears and mailing labels out, and cut out a zig-zag pattern. I made sure my nails were clean and free form moisturizer & other stuff and affixed the 'zig-zag' sticker to my nail, I painted two thin coats of Sally Hansen New Lengths in 'Blackberry'. When it was dry~ I removed the 'zig-zag' stickers, gently buffed out any raised areas & applied 2 coats of  Sally Hansen Clear Nail polish. This polish 'Blackberry'= is stunning. I didn't really think much of it when I bought & swatched it, but looking at it now... just wow. There is sooooooo much shimmer packed in there! And this sorta dull plain polish 'Cappuccino' is the perfect partner to show off 'Black Berry's' beauty.

Anyhoo- because Halloween is coming up, I thought I would call this a 'Chainsaw Mani' because of the sharp jagged zig-zag pattern with the red polish. Even though I took my time and applied those 'zig-zag' stickers carefully, I still had a few 'mistakes' ( RING finger) I did this outside in the gusting gale force winds as well, so I had a real lumpy application, especially with the clear polish top coat.... But it looks cool, and I am glad I didn't choose to go with my safe and simple 'S' curve design..... Maybe next-time.
