Hello lovelies!
I meant to post these Friday and Saturday, in time for and on the time of Halloween, but both days I was not feeling well at all, so I couldn't muster up the strength to post these. Therefore I'll show them now and perhaps you can use them as inspiration for next year!
Let's start with a mani that was loosely inspired by Cosmetic Sanctuary. I did not have her awesome vinyls or her awesome nail charm (I ordered one, but it hasn't arrived yet), so I created this:

My base is Celestial Cosmetics "Hokulani", a Hella Holo group custom. It is a beautiful ultra holographic purple pretty, of which I will show swatches later. I freehanded a spiderweb with a white striper from Vogue and then created a spider using two black round rhinestones that I randomly found at my local drugstore. I painted the legs with a striper brush and Sinful Colors "Black on Black" and then added some eyes and a cross on the spider with Laushine red stamping polish and a detail brush.
Despite the cross not being super neat, I do adore the way this little fellow came out!
I wore this mani for a day and NOBODY commented on it, can you believe? I thought it was absolutely adorable! People be strange, yo! ;)
Now let's move on to a super simple mani (photos shot in lightbox):
This was super simple to achieve. I put Girly Bits "Monster Mash" over Essence "Lilac Is My Style". Then on my accent nail, I placed some decals from BPS, you can find them here. I topped it all off with Seche Vite and then with HEMA matte top coat. Super easy 30-minute mani :)
I hope you still enjoyed these manis, despite them being shown to you after Halloween. Which one is your favourite?
Now why didn't I think of using rhinestones to make a spider?! I had something similar to that planned but I don't have a spider stamp. Those decals are really cute too. I love both manis.
ReplyDeleteBoth are fun! I think the water decals are great!
ReplyDeleteI like how the matte top coat transforms the glittery manicure, this effect is so nice.
ReplyDeleteI like both nail art ideas bt my fave is the second one ;-)

Wow! I love these both. Of course I am in awe of that Celestial and so glad I got it.
