For a while I have been looking for spiked studs to stick on my nails as I have been seeing spikes all over the place in the shops and wanted them on my nails too! Unfortunately I could never find the kind of spiked studs I was looking for so I decided to make some!
I made the studs using polymer clay, baked them in the oven for 15 mins, then spray painted them with a chrome effect paint. They came out all different sizes and the paint I used to coat them leaks onto the glue/topcoat I use, but they did the job! if anyone knows where I could buy studs like them please please let me know!!
Now on to the best bit, the nails! Yay. I stuck the studs on to a black matte base, pretty simply but effective. Unfortunately they didn't last too long as the studs didn't hold too well with the glue. They were also a little too spikey so were slightly inconvenient to wear, but totally worth it!
They look amazing ! Perhaps not very convenient, but still they look stunning!

http://365mu.blogspot.co.uk - One girl's attempt at creating 365 different make-up looks in as many days
These ones I took off after because it was a little impractical having spikes on all the nails. but I re-did it on just one nail and with a few layers of top coat over the nails it lasted a few days before I took it of.
DeleteI did some spike nails a while back too, but I used the ends of ear piercings for my spikes! Your method would yield a lot more though! Genius :)
ReplyDeleteSorry, I meant eyebrow piercings!
DeleteSalut je trouve cette idée superbe & très original :).
