Marbled Flame Nails

Disclosure: I received a bottle of No Text Red free from Sinful Colors/ Influenster in my quarterly VoxBox.

No Text red is part of Sinful Colors' recent campaign to combat texting and driving. The idea is to paint your thumbs red to remind yourself not to text while driving. Keeping this in mind, I wanted to create a look that emphasizes No Text Red as the main color.

To create the flame look, I first applied two full coats of the red polish, let dry, then applied a thicker coat of red. While it was still wet, I put a few large dots of black (OPI Black Onyx) at the base of my nail, then used a small dotting tool to drag and swirl the black around for the flame effect.

In all honesty, I really like the color "No Text Red" but the formula was really streaky and the brush is too long, which caused the polish to get everywhere. However, the retail price is only $1.99 USD and hey, it's a noble cause.
