This is my first every attempt at Halloween nail art. I don’t particularly like scary Halloween stuff and neither does my little girls; so I opted to do something a little cutesy and spooky.
Here is a picture of all the items used to get the manicure going:
Wet n’ Wild – On a Trip (213C)
Wet n’ Wild – Sunny Side Up ( 405)
Sinful Colors – Black on Black
Color Club – Clear Coat
Seche Vite – Base Coat (not in pic)
Seche Vite – Dry Fast Top Coat
Konad Special Polish – Black
Konad Special Polish – White (not in pic)
Milani Nail Art Precision Brush – Black (not in pic)
Bundle Monster Plates: BM13, BM213, BM223, BM224
Q-Tip
Makeup sponge
The thumb background was created using the gradient effect. I started off with Seche Vite – Base Coat (forgot to place it in the picture). Then applied one coat of Sunny Side Up. Using the make up sponge (cut to a small size) I applied On a Trip and began to sponge from the top of the nail down and beginning to shape the sunset. I let it dry a little before I sponged on Sunny Side up to define the sunset area more. Waited for that to dry a bit before sponging on Black on Black on the tip of my nail. I applied the clear coat which smoothes the colors into each other. Once dry I stamped with Konad – Black the house image from BM224 and used the bats image from BM213. I haven’t mastered the art of cleaning up the edges of my nails, so pardon the mess but I’m no professional. I gave it a coat of Seche Vite and wala!
The rest of my fingers got a base coat and two coats of On a Trip. On the index finger I tried a freehand tree using Milani nail art black. Then stamped using Konad – White the ghost image from BM223. The middle finger was stamped with Konad – Black using BM213 bats image and part of the pumpkin image of BM224. Ringer finger was stamped with Konad – Black using BM224 pumpkin image. Lastly the ring finger was stamped with Konad – Black using BM13 bats image. All received a nice coat of Seche Vite.
