u/hellraisinghamster 6d ago

Very r/goblincore

Love it. The little slug so cute. Builders gel?

44

u/Maleficent-Pause8861 6d ago

Yes 🥰 I used Nail Thoughts clear builder for the base!

6

u/slothi_sloth 5d ago

ADORE THESE! So for the slug did you use clear builder for the 3D shape and then painted the browncolours on top? Looks so glossy ✨

14

u/Maleficent-Pause8861 5d ago

For the slug I used rhinestone gel because it’s thicker and easier to shape! Then I layered some jelly brown and orange colors on top 🥰

u/BombchuChica 6d ago

These are really cooool! I might copy, but with a different color base. I love the green, but I can’t rock it. Love the idea!!

u/ACanThatCan 6d ago

It’s giving Shrek.

u/abichr114 6d ago

OMG THIS IS SO CUTE AND CREATIVE. It's also so well done. I can imagine this took a lot of time. Will you do a series for us 😍💖?! 🐞🦋🐝🐜

u/Resident-Complex4682 6d ago

Wild taste but excellent execution 🏆

u/Q_T_grl_215 6d ago

AAAAAAAA this is cute and feels refreshing with the morning dew on the leaf green 🌱 love the slug!

2

u/sageflower1855 2d ago

I think it’s supposed to be the slime trail for a slug? Dew is a really cool idea for sculpting gel too though!

6

u/Sassyflufff 6d ago

Omg this is the cutest idea. I love the slug trails!!!

5

u/hannahx7 6d ago

Gross but like in the best way 😂 they look so realistic

u/NoJudge1453 6d ago

Love the shade of green! Did you use a camera or phone to take this pic?

5

u/Maleficent-Pause8861 6d ago

I use an iPhone 13 Pro! I usually take a video and just screenshot the best angles. 😊

1

u/bluephoenix39 6d ago

I love your nails so much 🥰 but taking a video and screenshotting is such a clever idea, stealing that in future

u/hand_ 6d ago

u/KaeSaid 6d ago

Not my jam, but holy shit, those are awesome! What a clever idea!

3

u/Repunzzel 6d ago

u/awesome_possum007 5d ago

Now add a ladybug and a caterpillar to continue the trend. A few flowers would be a nice touch. Beautiful

2

u/hellarags 3d ago

the detail on these is INSANE!!! i'm begging you to do sea cucumber nails with a pink ink trail!!! 🩷

2

u/henerykelli 2d ago

In love! I can’t believe this. I just booked with a tattoo artist to get a slug with the glistening trail along a mossy rock! And that green is my favorite color! Gorgeous. Yes I need that many exclamation points ‼️❤️‍🔥

1

u/Sad-Imagination-4870 6d ago

Why? 😒 but also it does look good as far as execution!

5

u/Maleficent-Pause8861 6d ago

Because you see lots of butterflies and such on spring nails.. the other “creepy” guys never get their recognition 🥰
