Tell-Tale Heart Nail Art | Halloween 2020 Design 4

Ending my Halloween 2020 Series with a Bang! In this design, I’ve created a Tell-Tale heart theme nail art with a mix of stamping and reverse stamping. This design was part of a collab that I hosted for Halloween both on YouTube and Instagram. I’ll share everyone’s links at the bottom of the page. I hope you enjoy this design.

Tell-Tale Heart Nail Art | The Base

For this design, I wanted to have something light and neutral for the base. I took this approach for two reasons. I wanted to really make the images pop! Which at this point I wasn’t sure exactly what I colours I would be using for the reverse stamping. I also wanted to make it so the text looked as if it was in a book.

So I ended up selecting Funny Bunny by OPI I won’t go into too much detail about this polish as I’ll be sharing a swatch in a few weeks. But I will say that it took four coats and it still wasn’t opaque. Despite the lack of opaqueness it still worked for the design!

Halloween Reverse Stamping to make you shutter!!

I used a maniology plate BM-S245 for this design (use code THENAILCHRONICLE for 10% off Maniology). This is a small plate but packed full of awesome images that I could use for this design.

I wanted to make use of the text so I decided to reverse stamp just two images. This would also allow these two images to pop!!

For the heart, I aimed to make this as realistic and scary as possible so I selected OPI – Tell me about it Stud. This looks really bright in the bottle but dries a bit darker making it the perfect red shade.

For the feather pen, I wanted something different but not too out there like a fluro green! So I select Lost my Bikini in Molokini by OPI a classic dark purple that I would work really well as the feather. For the inkpot, I selected a classic black.

The design was finished with Maniology Smudge Free topcoat (use code THENAILCHRONICLE for 10% off Maniology).

Overall

I hope this design made you shutter a little!! I love how cool the heart looks and am really happy with the end result.
