Happy Halloween!

Spooky season comes to a close with Halloween arriving today and while I hoped to share a few more Halloween nails this last week, life had other plans so this will be it for the season.  Hopefully you have enjoyed the ones that were shared!

CjS H-44

Started with a base of Painted Polish Mystery Crelly Douze on a base of white soft focus, and Cauldron Lacquer Spooky Vibes on the accent nail, on a base of gray soft focus, no top coat.  I absolutely adore both of these polishes and think they are the perfect bases for Halloween nail art!

Topped with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped images from Lina Spooklicious! 01 on thumb, using MdU 13 and Painted Polish Midnight Mischief for shadow stamping and PP MM and Painted Polish Blanc Slate as well on other images.  Did layered stamping on the rest of the nails with images from CjS H-44 using MdU 13 and PP MM.  These pumpkin faces with the flying bats are just so darn cute; I can't wait to use them again next year! 

Middle Aged People Problems:  For the life of me, I could not read the polish maker on this bottle and had to take a picture and blow it up to get the name!  Thank goodness for technology...although I guess there is a magnifying glass lol! (Love this polish!)

Finished with a coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

 Hope you had a great Halloween this year; thanks for looking!

Halloween Flowers!

If you've seen the daisy nails that I seem to do so often, I had planned to do a mani similar to those; however, when I got down to it, the nails went in a different direction and this is how they ended up.  The Halloween daisy mani I envisioned will have to wait for another day!  Here's what I came up with.

Started with a base of skittles; thumb and going clockwise, polishes are Holo Taco Not Pressed, topped with Fancy Gloss Natures Cove, OPI Black Onyx, OPI Summer Lovin' Having A Blast, OPI I Manicure for Beads and OPI Black Onyx again.

Topped the black accent nails with Fancy Gloss Halloween Party.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Moyra 126 Witchcraft

After making a stamper decal with image from Lina Spooklicious! 03, stamped them onto middle and index fingers, then added pumpkins using image from UberChic UC Halloween 05 with faces from UC Halloween 03 using Painted Polish Midnight Mischief and MdU 11.  I also shrunk the image using resizing stamper for the pumpkin on the index finger.  Added spider on thumb from image from Moyra 126 Witchcraft using MdU 107 and Painted Polish Midnight Mischief.

Added a few shadow stamped images using images from Moyra 126 Witchcraft using MdU 11, 52 and Painted Polish Midnight Mischief.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

 Thanks for looking!

Trick or Treat!

I had high hopes for this mani but it didn't quite turn out as nice as I had planned but hopefully it gives someone an idea for a future mani.  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of two coats of Essie Tangerine Teach, no top coat.

Topped with a thin coat of Polished for Days Jack O' Lantern.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

GPStamping 28.  I bought this plate specifically for the image I used for this nail and was lucky enough to find it via a plate destash.

After applying liquid latest, stamped image from GPStamping 28 using MdU 11 on all nails except words on right, which is Mezerdoo C81.

Mezerdoo C81

Shadow stamped using same images using Painted Polish Midnight Mischief.  Here's where it went downhill lol.  The shadow stamping wasn't as tight as I wanted but I always do my nails really late and these took long enough as it was.  Also, I kept on messing up the middle finger and redid it at least 5x until I got this look and it was by far the best shadow stamped nail on the mani, which made me want to go back and do the rest, but I just couldn't.  Maybe next year, I'll attempt again but for now, just look at the nail on the middle finger and imagine the rest look like it!

Hallowe'en Nails!

There's all things Halloween on these nails!  Spider webs, skeletons, ghosts, pumpkins, black cats, and bats!  Here's what I came up with!

Used a few different polishes here:  pinky is Different Dimension And All I Loved, I Loved Alone, OPI Orange You Stylish on index and thumb; thumb is topped with Different Dimension Here For the Boos.  Middle nails are OPI Black Onyx topped with F4 Krazy Korn, no top coat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

ShopAnts XL-031

AZ Big Nails 6

Stamped using Marianne Nails n.131 on middle, Lina Spooklicious! 03 on pinky, AZ Big Nails 6 on index and ring, and shadow stamped ShopAnts XL-031 on thumb.  Stamping polishes are MdU 13 for shadow stamping, with Painted Polish Blanc Slate and Painted Polish Midnight Mischief.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

So cool!

Thanks for looking!

Pumpkin Faces!

It's kinda of a tradition that I do these Jack O' Lantern looking nails and I've done a few different versions over the years.  Here's another one that I came up with!

With bats; kinda looks like pumpkin hair!

Started with a base of three coats Colors by llarowe Sweet Nectar, no top coat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using images from Delaney Halloween 002 using Painted Polish Midnight Mischief.  I love that the faces come in different sizes so I can add the smaller one on the pinky, which makes it fit my small nails!

Added bats at the tips for just a different look.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

Nail inspiration!

 Thanks for looking!

Trick or Treat!

Trick or Treat!  Smell my feet! Give me something good to eat!  

It will soon be time for the trick or treaters to go door to door in their Halloween costumes so thought I'd share this trick or treat mani!  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of three coats of Cadillacquer Wicked, no top coat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using Lina Spooklicious! 03 on ring and index. What's Up Nails B054 on thumb and EYNails 10 on middle. using MdU 106.

Shadow stamped images using same plates with Painted Polish Midnight Mischief, and added spider from Lina Spooklicious! 03.

Topped using KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish. 

Unfortunately, there were some stamper scraping issues that weren't obvious until the nails were top coated but if anything, it kinda makes them look even creepier!
