I got this submission for dark faerie last week from DragonRhia (aka Chris) from Lacquer Ware for Tips and Toes with some kick ass dark faerie nails. I love seeing the way this theme can be incorporated into many different genres.
All rambling aside and on to the pics!!
"Hiya! My life's work is helping runaway and homeless youth in the states and one of my big hobbies is my nail blog: Lacquer Ware for Tips and Toes. And yes, I post pictures of my toes, cuz they're so damned cute! I have had dragons, elves and faerie a part of my life since I was 11 and my Dad gave me his copy of 'The Hobbit' to read. So, I grew up in the world of fantasy and never grew out of it ;) It was fun to channel a dark faerie for this look....and it really felt like I did because even though I had an idea, it completely morphed itself differently when the lacquers came out and I began to apply."


The Goods:
"I think of dark faerie as 'good' Faerie with a gothic twist...so what manifested itself: my base is a mixture of Sinful Colors Out of This World (because fairies are so beyond our measly three dimensional lives) and Orly Goth (natch). Which meant that there looks like 'bald' spots in some light, but its an illusion (something else I think faerie does regularly). But I didn't feel quite done...so the twist is the Milani purple glitter stripe. And there is no top coat because I didn't think a shiny finish was appropriate nor did I think a matte finish was....unfinished was most appropriate because lets face it...a wicked good faerie (or dark faerie) has better ways to spend her time than top coat her lacquer. Muuuwaaawaawaawaaa!"
Thank you Chris so much for your submission. I love the look and purple and black go really well together. I also like the mirrored illusion you were able to achieve! :)
