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!

Hey everyone! 

I am so excited to say that one of my favourite bloggers is here with us today with a guest post!

Hello everyone! I am very pleased and honoured that Rachael was willing to put one of my manicure on her blog, and I hope you will appreciate it ^^. So, pokémon nail art is my big speciality and with halloween coming soon, I really wanted to draw gengar! This pokémon is super funny and scary at the same time, so I really love it! For the background colour, I used a franken that I just created and that I called "gengar's puke". It is a teal/purple duochrome that I applied on a black base. Since the colours matched the ozotic 528, I decided to apply a layer of my ozotic, to give a more "sparkly" look. I drew gengars on my thumb and ring finger, and scary faces on the other nails. 


 





Wait, you can't see the scary faces? I'll switch the light off...
Boo! 




I hope you were not too scared :p

I really hope you liked this manicure, and most importantly: Happy Halloween everyone!!
