Halloween, folks

Another year, another chance to come up with Halloween nail art! I saw a Goodwill ad online that had a bunch of Halloween characters, so I used that to pick out the five I liked the most. I hope you all have a fun and safe weekend - don't get too wild, folks!

I used two coats of Sinful Colors' Let's Talk as the base coat. I went in with Sinful Colors' Song of Summer, Snow Me White, and Exotic Green, and black paint to create my little Halloween characters. The coloring on each character was perfect before I put a top coat on. But right when I did, the purple leaked through the white and light green polishes. Darn. I even redid it - covered up the details with white and light green again and redid the details - but the purple still leaked through.

Fall Leaves

So not in the writing mood.. But here's three coats of wet n wild's Deadly Dose. It may have needed four, I can't remember, but the gold is pretty transparent. I went in with black paint to draw the outlines of leaves. I used Sally Hansen's Hard as Nails Hard to Get and Sinful Colors' Exotic Green and Rich in Heart to fill in the black outlines. I felt like it needed a bit more, so I added spots of "Lipstick Red" foil onto each nail. 

Top coat! 
I like the design - this is my second time doing it - but the orange maple leaf font in center on my middle finger didn't turn out right in my opinion.

Fall Stripes

This was a quick design to get into doing nail art again, so it's not as sharp and clean as I imagined it being. I used two coats of Sinful Colors' Rich in Heart and then used an orangey chrome foil on each nail called "Daybreak".  I laid a strip of glue done along the edge of the foil and placed red glitter done. I added a parallel line of Sinful Colors' Hot Hot Heat on the foil to add another element of red, but I'm not crazy about it.
Top coat!
