Halloween Nails - Simple Cute Ghost Nail Art

This is a super quick post. Something of a rarity for me, I know. For the last three nights in a row I've gone to bed super late and now, probably in part because of that, I'm getting sick again. So it's an early bedtime for me tonight. Before I go I wanted to show you the Halloween nails I opted to do.

A little while ago I posted about Halloween nail art ideas I'd been looking at. If you didn't read it you can read it here. There's a lot of cool ideas there. I don't usually paint my nails with gimmicky type nail designs but since it's Halloween I thought it'd be fun for a change. Anyway, I finally decided I liked the cute ghost design the most. Perhaps because it looked the easiest too. I adapted it a little by changing the base colors, I think orange and purple are good Halloweeny type colors.

They were actually very easy to do. Paint on your base coat then let it dry. Paint the ghost shape in the same way you would paint your nail only smaller. Wait for that to dry then use a nail pen to do black dots for eyes. If you don't have a nail pen try using a toothpick or pin dipped into polish. When it's all thoroughly dried seal the design with a top coat.

Letting it dry properly is really important because otherwise the black eyes will smudge across the white. Like you can see a little on mine. I always thought I was a patient person but I guess I'm not patient enough today.

So...do you like them? Are you going to try do Halloween nails on yourself?

Halloween Nail Art Ideas.

Hey Folks!

It's the weekend, woooop-deee-doooop! Happy weekend everyone!

I was looking at my calendar this morning and realized there's just two weeks until Halloween. So, that being said I decided to go on the internet to browse for some Halloween nail art ideas. I thought it'd be a fun way to get in the spooky mood.

Here's some cool ones that I found:

Black and White Spiders and Bats from Polished Love Affair. Simple but cute. I think these could be a lot harder to do than they appear though.

Orange Spiderweb Nails from Pimp My Nailz. I have no idea how to do spider webs that delicately. Let me know if you do please!

Toxic Waste from Deez Nails.

Vampire Nails from Northern Downpour Sends It's Love.

Ghosts from Sweet Sweet Life. I really like these ones, they look so cute! I think they'd be pretty easy to do too. I'd probably substitute the lime color for purple though, a bit more Halloweeny.

Cracked Orange and Black from Crystal Visions. Very easy to do and a great effect.

Mummy nails from Nailpolish Is Alive.

Blood spattered nails from Superficial Girls.

Nightmare Before Christmas inspired nails also from Pimp My Nailz.

Jack Skeleton Nails from Mrs Loredo at Deviant Art.

Firstly, I want to say, isn't there a lot of talented people in the world! I could never ever have a hope in hell of doing the last ones. Actually I wouldn't even know where to begin but they were so cool that I wanted to show you.

I think my favorites are the cute little ghosts, the black and white spiders and bats and the Nightmare Before Christmas inspired ones. But I quite like the blood spattered ones too. Hmmm.

You might be able to tell I'm indecisive. It's my weak point. So I'm going to ask you guys instead...
 

Which do you like the most? 

Will you be trying some Halloween Nail art yourself? If you do then feel free to leave a link in the comments below so my lovely readers and I can all take a look at it.

Right, it's time to get off my laptop now, it's Saturday night and the boyfriend and I are heading out for dinner and some drinks.

Have a lovely weekend everyone!
