A witch and bats - Halloween manicure

I have to have at least one Halloween manicure with a witch and maybe some bats and a spooky castle - so here it is ...

Flames, Skull and Dripping Blood!

I have another manicure for Halloween today ...

Spider webs for Halloween

Its been a few weeks since I posted. I didn't really plan to be away for so long - but life just gets in the way sometimes! But I'm back with a Halloween manicure and looking forward to all the festive manicures to come in the next couple of months ...

Halloween Free Hand Spider Nail Art

For my manicure today, I painted my nails with Bourjois No Chips No. 11. Once dry, I used acrylic paints and a nail art brush to draw the spider webs and the spiders on the middle finger and thumb with the help of this great tutorial. I finished with a top coat.
I quite enjoyed the nail art in this manicure. The webs and the spiders were relatively easy and fun to do. And although this was not my intention when I started, the colours and the nail art I chose did remind me of Spiderman, specially because the nail polish looks more red than orange in the photos. I think I have to do Spiderman themed nails sometime with this nail art!

Hope you have a Happy Halloween!

Halloween Stamping Nail Art - Double, Double, Toil and Trouble ...

Fire burn and Cauldron Bubble ...

Another manicure with Halloween inspired nail art. For these nails, I used Essie Fear or Desire with one coat of Sinful Colors Serena and Chloe on top for a bit of sparkle. I stamped with images from the plate HD04 with Konad Black.
I really like these images, specially the cauldron - it reminded me of the scene from Macbeth with the three witches! I had to then search for that scene on the net to enjoy a good little read!
I'm not really into scary or gory images for Halloween, nail art or otherwise - so this manicure is just something that I really enjoyed wearing - its suitable for Halloween but still pretty cute!

Halloween free hand Witch Nail Art

Time for some free hand Halloween nail art today. Its a simple black manicure but with an accent nail, which has a yellow moon behind a witch flying on her broomstick. The witch is painted with acrylic paint and I originally painted the moon with acrylic paint too - but it didn't come out smooth and the paint was quite thick so didn't dry for ages. So I started again and painted the moon with nail polish as well. 

For this manicure, I used Revlon Black Star. I painted the yellow moon with NYC Lexington Yellow and a nail art brush. The witch was painted free hand with acrylic paint and a nail art brush. I used this wonderful tutorial to paint the witch.

Happy Halloween!
