Welsome to Dia de los Muertos, and if you don't speak Spanish, welcome to day of the
dead.
So i have already created two Almond shaped nails, and i have coated them in the Urban
grafitti gel polisg range in the colout of Bad Influence, That's you that is. So it's
like a very very dark purple, almost black, though it was a very nice colour for what
we wanted to do today. So first of all what i am gonna do is i am gonna get my colours
out on my palette and we are gonna use this middle finger first and we are gonna use the
white, this is obviously gonna be the face. Gonna add a touch of water, a little bit of
water in, not a lot,
I am going to use this bottom part as the jaw line, and then the rest of the face, gonna
do two coat of this, So we've got an even coverage of colour. and now this one, we are
gonna do a different angle of the face. gonna white out the face part, I have took a bit
of black paint and i am just gonna map out the features. So i am just gonna start bringing
this nose out now. So i have filled in. I am just gonna do this shape. So at the minute
it looks like a skeleton, we are obviously gonna change that as the other features go
in. We are gonna start doing the mouth, well the lips of the mouth should i say, I am gonna
use the white again, to just add some teeth. Now we are gonna put in the lines of the stitches
on the mouth, which i don't fully uinderstand.
Gonna add in some webbing to the top, now i am gonna add the whites of the eyes, now
we are gonna do the decoration on the cheeks and the forehead. Then around the eyes, the
black sockets that we have done, we are going to go around the outside with dots for decoration.
Now i'm gonna use, Ultra Marine just for the centre of the eyes, for the iris, water that
down, all i am doing now, is tidying up the edges of the eyes, and then we will top coat
it, and then we will do the hair and the roses with Acrylic.
I am gonna use the Top and Base from the Urban Grafitti Gel Polish Range. Go over the top
of the paint, make sure the paint is dry before you do this. but make sure you also cover
every bit of painted art work or else when you remove the sticky layer, you will lose
your artwork. Make sure it is all covered and that it is capped nicely. So i am gonna
cure that in the lap. and then i can carry on with the other face.
So that is all of the painting done, what we are gonna do now is do the hair and some
roses in Acrylic. So i have got in my dampen dish, i have got high speed, because i want
it to set quickly and i have got a small 3D brush, right si i am going to use, Sapphire
Satin, Pure Purple, and Passionate purple, and also primary red and toxic apple. So first
of all we are gonna do some swirly bits in the hair, and we are gonna use different colours,
now they are dark. Now we'll start by doing a half a moonshape here, and then we will
layer using the different colours.
and i am just pressing it out and eventually it will get to a tight swirl in the middle,
So this is sort of that 50's style hair do, it's called something that isn't it.
I know nothing about normal hair do's never mind 50's hair do's, bee hive?
No
Ask the hair dresser
Victory Roll
Yeah
There you are, just like a victory roll. just gonna do some simple layering up this side
and then we will add a rose. So layering it like this is just gonna give it some movement.
So i have just dipped the very tip of that bead into the passionate purple, to give it
a bit of darkness, just gonna touch it, give it a bit of, a little bit more purple at the
bottom. pressing it out, not too high, thinner at one end than it is at the other. just making
the brush quite wet to add a bit more colour, so i am just picking it up. and rolling it
out like this. to create a tiny rose, and i am gonna pop that just here. and i am just
gonna make one more of those and put that there. and then we will repeat this onto that
nail as well. So i am gonna pick up a bead, small bead of toxic apple, touch it into the
purple and what that will do, is it will give that a little bit of depth at the bottom.
So i'm just pressing it out. and i am just gonna tickle it into the shape. I just want
it quite small. and then i will use a tool, just to carve some detail into there. Some
of the little vines. and then i am going to stick it here, just under that little rose
there, I am using the sapphire satin acrylic to adhere it so that it's nice and dark, you
could use clear if you wanted to.
Gonna give it a bit of a fold. So you have got the little roses and leaves, that one
is all done,. and now we are just gonna exactly the same on this nail here. do the hair some
roses and some leaves.
