Fierce Makeup and Nails also did a great recreation of this look as well, check it out here.
I love how this manicure sort of turns your nails in to sharp claws without you actually having to reshape your nails, so I just had to give it a try. I tried a different color scheme, I used burgundy and gold instead of dark green and silver. To see more pictures and which colors I used, click......
As you can see, I was too lazy to do a sheer base coat to blur out the the lines on my nails. Also, my nails were pretty horribly stained by that green glitter ("Lucky" from Julep) I wore a few weeks back because I once again neglected to use a base coat.
Everything is free-handed, I used a fine-tip paint brush I purchased from DeSerres years ago. The pale gold is "Sienna" and the burgundy is "Keira". Both are from Julep. ![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhin56K7bBuprMfIa2qlQa32RkvGwwWqAoIRQxuZrTQsAJlAI4cPuwoMqBzp839leeAZKyPmNmdj0OTgLK3m8kxagHioFLlYcNB0NSAjuUzoP22Ygv0TjOgL6MrlF-SbVJOrbkZhZBm5dw/s640/Screen+shot+2013-03-31+at+2.02.23+PM.png)

So, what do you guys think. I know this is sort of unconventional and I have gotten pretty mixed feedback from people. Do you like the mock claw effect? Would you try this? Do let me know in the comments, thanks for reading!
