Halloween - Trick or Treat!

it's Halloween - time to go Trick or Treating!

I painted my nails with Ulta3's Sour Grape, then stamped on the skeleton (Winstonia 116) and the Trick or Treat text (Moyou Festive 16). I had made some stamping decals for the candy corn (UberChic Beauty Halloween), using Mundo de Unas orange for the stamping, Face of Australia Miss Congeniality for the white, and OPI I Just Can't Cope-acabana for the yellow. I used the same yellow to light up the haunted house (Bundle a Monster 315).

I used two new sticky stamping heads which I got from UberChic Beauty to make the candy corn decals and I was quite impressed by them! They're a bit flatter than my other stamping heads, and their softness made the decals easy to remove. I also made a decal using their stamping mat, which didn't go as well - I couldn't stamp directly onto the mat very easily, although it's possible it just needs a proper wash first.

I posed with a little plastic jack-o-lantern filled with Halloween treats for trick or treaters - so cute!

Halloween week - It was a graveyard smash

For today I made a graveyard scene design. Really pleased with it!

I painted my nails with two coats of Ciate's Chinchilla, a light grey, and then sponged the ground on using Ulta3's Midnight. Midnight is a very dark navy and I really enjoy using it.

I then stamped on the graveyard images. The owl on the branch, the ghost, the gravestone with "RIP" underlined, and the haunted house on my thumb are all from UberChic Beauty's Halloween plate. The gravestone next to the ghost is from Winstonia 116, and the gravestone and the cross and bats is from MoYou Festive 16.

Halloween week - ghosts and skeletons

I love a good black and white mani! Today features a great grinning skeleton image and some contrasting angry ghosts from MoYou's Festive 16 plate. Quite eye-catching and I got some compliments, which is always nice. :)

Halloween week

I have a small collection of Halloween themed plates, so this week I've pulled them out and I'm putting them to use!

I recently bought UberChic Beauty's Halloween-01 plate, and I did some stamping over Enchanted Polish's May 2014, a perfect orange holo.

Lit-up jack o' lanterns

I'm a bit behind on my nail blogging because I've been busy making a cosplay costume for Pax, a video game convention. It was heaps of fun but it took a lot of time!

I did make a quick post to my Instagram with the Halloween nails. I painted my nails with Ulta3's midnight and then reverse stamped using Mundo de Uñas polishes, and finally a Chi Chi glow in the dark polish (unnamed yellow) for the eyes of the jack o' lanterns.
