Hallowe'en Nail Guide

Happy Halloween! Here are some designs.


Ghost
Paint your thumb white and leave to dry. Use a dotting tool dipped into black to create two black eyes. Use the same dotting tool dipped into black to create an oval for the mouth. To do this, create a circle and drag the dotting tool down until you create an oval.

Jack-o-Lantern
Paint your index finger orange. Use a dotting tool dipped into black to make the eyes. Use a black striper to create a curved line for the smile. Leave to dry and use a smaller dotter dipped in the orange to create the pupils and the teeth.

Frankenstein
Paint your nail a light green and use a black striper to create small triangles coming down from your cuticles for the hair. Use a dotting tool dipped in black for the eyes. Create the eyebrows by drawing two thin black lines above the eyes using a striper. Paint a diagonal black line for the mouth and stitch it up by painting a few vertical black lines. Use a dotter dipped in white for the pupils. 

Skeleton
Paint your nail white. Use a dotter dipped in black to create two oval shapes for the eyes. Create the nose by drawing two tiny,black,vertical lines. Use a black striper to create a curved line for the smile. Draw a few vertical lines with the black striper on the curved line to finish off the smile.

Spider's Web
Paint your nail purple. Use a black striper to create thin, curved lines in the shape of a web. Use the black striper again to create diagonal lines coming from the tip of the web to the bottom of your nail. 
Seal in your designs with a top coat.

Voila :)

starry night

These are my starry night nails. They are inspired by Perrie Edwards false nails collection.

Step 1
Use a base coat on all your nails to protect them.

Step 2
Paint your nails with two thin coats of white. This will make the ombré more opaque.

Step 3 
Paint a line of purple and a line of deep blue on a foundation sponge, overlapping the two colours. 
Sponge this onto your nails, rolling the sponge from left to right. You may need to repeat this step a few times until the colour is more opaque.

Step 4
I then used a clear coat which has stars and sparkles in it, but if you don't have a clear coat with stars, any clear coat with sparkles will do. 

Step 5
Seal in your design with a clear top coat.

Voila :)
