Ghosts and Haunted Mansion Nails

So I'm not thrilled with how this came together, but I tried!  I got my inspiration from searching #halloweennails on Instagram.  I used ideas from magnifiquenails, pinkiericegurl, and jamylyn_nails.

• Paint all nails purple except pinky, that's white.
• Use dotting tool for the white moon
• Draw your house and bats with a striping tool
• Use a small brush for the ghost
• I used yellow acrylic paint so it would show better, then used the striping brush to make it look like a window and add details to the ghosts.
• Surprisingly, the hardest nail looks like the easiest one (the pinky ghost)

Thanks for visiting :)

Halloween mummy and blood nails

I used a striper black nail polish for the stripes that I got from Walmart, I think it was around $5 and it works really well.

For the blood nails, I searched some tutorials on YouTube for "paint drop nails" and just kind of
 went from there, super easy.

For the eyes, I used a dotting tool.  You can use a pin, a toothpick, a pen/pencil, anything you have.

That's it!  It was pretty easy.  I mean, if I can do it, you can do it.  Thanks for looking :)

Nightmare Before Christmas Nails

So my son Connor has this random new obsession with Jack Skellington.  He wanted to be him for Halloween but I can't find any costumes for his age (3) and am not creative enough to make it myself.  So I figured this was a good theme since the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland just changed into their holiday theme with Jack and Zero the dog.  As you can tell, we are Disneyland frequenters!  

Again, these are from my phone so the quality might not be too impressive.  I used mostly acrylic paint for this as it's easier to use for detailing in my opinion.  This one has a great video from lindsaysnails on YouTube.
