Happy Halloween!

 Happy Halloween! 

These are my favourite Halloween nails to do; these are from a couple years ago as unfortunately, I didn't do any like this this year.  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of a few Halloween like polishes:  Nine Zero Eight Spotted Forester (thumb and ring), Painted Polish Gilded Poppy (middle) and Fingerpaints Mistful Thinking topped with Watcha Indie Polish Wicked West Witch (Little Box of Horrors March 2022).

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped using UC Halloween 03 using MdU 13 and Painted Polish Midnight Mischief (thumb); Lina Spooklicious 03 using MdU 106, Painted Polish Stamped in Slate, Painted Polish Midnight Mischief then added bats from Marianne Nails n131 (middle); UC Halloween 01 using MdU 106 and Painted Polish Midnight Mischief (pinky); Lantern & Wren Boo Squad using MdU 106 and Painted Polish Midnight Mischief (shrunk images with CjS stamper) (ring and index).  Added bats on index from Lina Spooklicious 03 using MdU 106 and Painted Polish Midnight Mischief.

Thriller!

Darkness falls across the land; The midnight hour is close at hand; Creatures crawl in search of blood; To terrorize y’all’s neighborhood; And whosoever shall be found; Without the soul for getting down' Must stand and face the Hounds of Hell; And rot inside a corpse’s shell; The foulest stench is in the air; The funk of forty thousand years; And grizzly ghouls from every tomb; Are closing in to seal your doom; And though you fight to stay alive; Your body starts to shiver; For no mere mortal can resist; The evil of the thriller AH HA HA HA HA HA HA AH HA HA HA HA HA HA (FADE) A HA HA HA HA HA HA

Those famous words stated by Vincent Price as part of the song, Thriller, which are on my nails for #MusicManiMonday!  Here's what I came up with!

Started with a base of two coats of OPI Destined to be a Legend, no top coat.

Topped with Scofflaw Stork Raven Mad, no top coat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Made a stamper decal on the thumb with Sugar Bubbles SB 076 and applied it.  I did a custom mix for the skintone using Painted Polish Stamped in Mocha and Stamped in Taupe.  The jacket is Moyra 906 Gel Polish and outline is Painted Polish Midnight Mischief.  Did lines on index and middle with image from Clear Jelly Stamper CjS H24 using Stamped in Stone, then did base using Painted Polish Stamped in Slate, then added zombies from same plate CjS H24 using Painted Polish Midnight Mischief.  The pinky is also from same CjS H24 but did shadow stamping using Painted Polish Stamped in Stone, then Painted Polish Midnight Mischief.  Ring Finger is MdU Thriller using Painted Polish Stamped in Stone, Painted Polish Midnight Mischief and Moyra 906 stamping gel polish.

Added bats on several nails from CjS H24 using Pained Polish Midnight Mischief.

SugarBubbles SB 076.  I shrunk the image for the thumb and it still barely fit!

MdU Thriller

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

I liked the shiny version but thought it may show details a bit more with matte, so added coat of Essie Matte About You.  Not sure what version I like best?

Jacks!

Let the Halloween nails begin!  I usually do some type of variation of Jack-O'-Lantern faces and this is my nails for this year!

Started with a base of two coats of Morgan Taylor Tiki Tiki Laranga, no top coat.  This was such a vibrant orange!

Topped with By Vanessa Molina Tequila Sunrise, no top coat.  This made the nails even brighter!

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped with images from Bunny Nails HD-D (ring), Chez Delaney Halloween 005 (pinky) and Marianne Nails n131 (middle) and Whats Up Nails B023 (index and thumb) using MdU 11.

Shadow stamped using same images and Painted Polish Midnight Mischief.

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

Whats Up Nails B023 

I did Ms. Cindy slightly different.

I thought these were super cute and work them for almost a week!  I got lots of compliments on them too so I guess others thought they were cute too!  They were very bright and perfect for the season!

Halloween Bonus Nails

I call these Halloween bonus nails as I did these nails mid summer for a weekend Halloween event, but didn't have any Halloween stamping plates or (what I would use for) Halloween polishes.  But I tried to make it work with what I had on hand and thinkthey turned out pretty cool!  They were a lot brighter than they appear here; however, the lighting washed them out a bit but hopefully you still get the idea of them.  Here's what I came up with!

Started with typical Halloween colours (to me, anyway!)  Morgan Taylor Ugh, As If (thumb), Painted Polish Midnight Mischief (index and pinky), and OPI Silicon Valley Girl.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Stamped lines using Lina Born to Sail 01 using Painted Polish Midnight Mischief, and shadow stamped stars from UberChic UC 28-02 using Painted Polish Midnight Mischief and Blanc Slate. 

Added a whole lot of dots for colour, interest and filler, using Painted Polish Midnight Mischief and Blanc Slate, MdU 11, 13 and 69.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

 This is out of my wheelhouse but I liked how it turned out; I need to do nails like this more often!  It was a nice, bright mani during the summer and subed for Halloween nails too in a pinch!

Thanks for looking!

Happy Halloween!

It's Trick or Treating Day; have a Happy Halloween if you celebrate!  The weather is suppose to be really warm and I suspect that there will be lots of kids at my door tonight and although I don't have any kids going out as they are past that, my two grandchildren will be going door to door.  Yes, I've hit that phase!  

Started on a base of skittles; starting at the thumb and going clockwise, polishes used are Colors by llarowe Sweet Nector (Hypnotic Polish Exclusive), Pampered Polish Blast Ended Skrewt, Noodles Polish Kool Halloween (PPU September 2024), Noodles Polish Chills & Thrills, and Nine Zero Eight Spotted Forester, no top coat.

Topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Clear Jelly Stamper CjS H-57

I usually take pix as I go along but looks like this is pretty much the finished look except top coatl must have been in a rush!  Used a whole slew of plates which is pretty typical for me; CjS H-55 (middle), Lina Spooklicious! 02 (words on middle), CjS H-78 (index), CjS H-57 (pinky), CjS H-74 (ring) and Hit The Bottle So Creepin Cute (thumb).  These are either shadow or layered stamping.  Stamping polishes used are MdU 11, 13, Painted Polish Blanc Slate, Midnight Mischief and Stamped in Slate.  Also added bat for filler and interest using Wistonia Haunted House.

Topped with a final coat of KBShimmer Clearly on Top to finish.

 I hope you enjoyed this years Halloween looks.  I unfortunately didn't have time to share them all so I have a start on next year's posts!

Happy Halloween!
