Nice Nails: Halloween


This was the result of me not being able to choose just one design. So what I have is a Jack-o-Lantern, a ghost, Frankenstein's wife, Frankenstein, and a bloody finger. The Jack-o-Lantern, ghost, and Frankenstein were fails, but I like how the wife and bloody finger came out.

For the Jack-o-Lantern, I started off with a coat of orange polish. I used a green art pen for the part at the top, then a toothpick dipped in black polish for the face. Pretty simple, but my hands were a little shaky with the mouth.

For the ghost, it's just a white base with 3 black dots using an art pen. The polish smudged a bit, so the eyes weren't even. Another fail.

For Frankenstein's wife, I started off with some black matte polish as the base. When that dried, I painted half of it with some white polish then let that dry to. After some time, I dipped a toothpick in some black polish for the eyes, then I used the same toothpick and dipped it in red polish for the lips. Using the same toothpick gave me a hint of black polish in the lips, which turned out pretty good. I finished it off by using a white art pen for the two squiggly stripes in her hair. :)

For Frankenstein, I used a lime green base coat. Then I followed up with the hair, scar, and mouth, all done using a black art pen. I made two white dots using an art pen for the eyes, then finished it off with a couple of black dots using a toothpick. I think I put a little too much hair and scar, which made the face a little uneven.

Lastly, I used some red polish for the bloody finger. This was the easiest to do actually. I just couldn't think of any other Halloween character, so i settled for this simple design, which turned out pretty good. :D
