Halloween Nail Series Part 2 - Accent Thumbs!

Hello! I did a few halloween manicures that were a bit more toned down with just one halloween nail per hand. I decided to switch it up and do the accent nail on the thumb, also known as the "blackberry manicure", because when you text your two thumbs are showing!

The first is a Frankenstein nail, with a base of OPI's Who The Shrek Are You? with Wet 'n Wild Tangled In My Web on top.

The next is a Pumpkin thumb with OPI's Extra-Va-Va-Ganza on the thumb and Orly's Star of Bombay on the rest of the fingers.

The last one is a witch nail, with Orly's Star of Bombay, China Glaze Lemon Fizz for the moon, and stamped in black with BM13. The rest of the nails are OPI Flit a Bit and Wet n' Wild Tangled in my web.

And there ya go! A few ideas to get you going.

Halloween Nail Series Part 1 - Spiders in Webs with BM13

Hellooooooo!

This is the first of my Halloween-themed nails, and I absolutely love it. It's really pretty and wearable, and I got lots of compliments on it. So here it is, it's China Glaze Snow as a white base, stamped with OPI's Lucerne-tainly Look Marvellous and BM13 spider web, and stamped with Konad black with the BM13 spider, and a red dot on its back. I would also recommend trying this with a glow in the dark coat over the white and a black spider and spider web. That way in the dark both will show up.

Now this one was a nightmare to capture. It was so hard to get the silver to show up on camera and the red to show up at the same time. In real life the spider webs are easy to see, a super glittery sparkly charcoal spider web, and the red on the spiders is easy to see too.

And AAARRGG every time I photograph my nails there's one flippin hair coming off my nails that I never see until it's too late, so I apologize for that annoying hair.

From the flash you can see the red on the spiders better. In real life it looks like above but with the red showing like below.

I also did this look with China Glaze Snow as a white base, China Glaze White Cap over it, Sally Hansen Chrome Blue for the BM13 spider web, and a Konad Black spider with 2 black rhinestones to make the spider 3D. This one was my original idea but it turned out a bit sloppy. I think it would be a good look if I had been a bit more patient.

There ya go! Stay tuned for more in the series!
