Marcus Manis- Abstract Dark Wing Nail Art

Marcus did this nail art so long ago but I completely forgot to post it up, sorry! So don't go thinking I got my claws back because i haven't *sob*

We didn't really know what to call this. It started as a sort of butterfly wing type pattern but I am not really sure now LOL!
But whatever it is I love it!

abstract wing design by Marcus Jubb at lifeinlacquer.com

He used OPI Russian Navy as the base colour than added the design using acrylic paint including some yummy metallic silver paint.

What do you think of this design and what would you call it?

Marcus Manis- Stained Glass

Today we have another mani from Marcus.
For people who are not regular readers of the blog or for Life in Lacquer newbies, Marcus is my father in law and also an artist. He comes around every now and then and paints my nails!!

I will be making a proper page for Marcus soon (which will be found above the main Life in Lacquer logo) so you can see all his nail art in one place. 


Today we wanted to do a mosaic effect nail art. Marcus loves mosaics and often makes mosaics with found items. You can take a look at his web page here 



Marcus used a white base and then various polishes to create this look. He then used black acrylic paint to outline the shapes. 
I am so sorry I didn't make a note of which polishes he used! 

We then matted it with Mentality Matte topcoat. 

What do you think? 
It really reminds me of beautiful stained glass!
