Halloween Nails - Take 1!

Good afternoon!

I wanted to get an early start on halloween nails this year, as I didn't get the chance to get many designs done last year!

This is my first design - I used my new gradient skills (still a bit shaky!) to create a blue gradient background using 3 Barry M shades - Huckleberry, Elderberry and Matte Malibu. I then used Nails Inc New York Noir to freehand a graveyard design across my nails.





We've recently released our Glow in the Dark Halloween range in our etsy shop, and I was dying to use Ectoplasm - our GITD topcoat. We made two different colours, so I decided to use the Aqua version in keeping with the background of my nails.




As is usual for GITD, it works best over light colours (especially white) but it does still work over dark colours. I have traced the outlines of my graveyard scene, highlighted the moon and also added a ghost on one nail so you can see the varying degrees of glow. It was SO HARD to get these photographs!

What do you think? I would love your feedback!

Our topcoat retails at £3 for a 5ml bottle and you can choose either green or aqua blue. Alternatively, you can get a free bottle when you buy a full size bottle of Stay Puft. Our other two halloween offerings also glow in the dark - please check them out!

Flip / Flop February Challenge - Day 14 - Valentines Day / French Tips

Gone for french tips - never ever done them so i've gone for simple - left my nails bare (bar a base and top coat) so i apologise if you think the staining is really bad but I actually really like the tips :)I've used my trusty cheapy black, then Models Own Pro in Aqua, Jade-anna and Lavender Blue for the dotticure and bow :)Actually liked this enough to paint both hands which is on the rare side for my challenge nails! :) (cause i'm so crap haha!)








Check out everyone else's nails!

Datyorkloves NAC - Day 6 - Dotticure

I saw something similar to this on Distinkt Nails. I really loved hers and wanted to try out my new Models Own Pro shades.

Not very Valentines but very spring? :)

Sorry for the lack of clean up - by time i got something i liked i was too tired and lazy to clean up before photographing plus i was worried id smudge it!
