Nail-Aween day 10: Friday the 13th Nails....

Ok so day 10 was any Halloween Inspired Mani and you know I gotta rock out a horror movie. I chose Friday the 13th cause I thought I could do it best.
I used:
OPI Spookettes mini I Only Date Werewolves
Wet N Wild Wild Shine in Red Red
Sally Hansen Xtreme wear in Wet Cement
Miliani Whitest White.
You will also need a nail art brush, Tape, Qtips, Nail Polish remover, Toothpicks, & a glass of water.

Start with 2 coats I only date werewolves on all nails.
Then I used a water marble for the bloody mess nails.
Use the tape to tape around your nail for less mess.
Start with a small glass of water.
Drip in one drop of the Milani Whitest white and let it spread across the water.
Repeat with the Wet N Wild Red Red.
Repeat this process until you finish with a drop in the center.
Use a toothpick to draw the design lightly across the polish...Since I wanted a certain effect I just drew in some vertical lines. Be careful in this step as your don't want to break the polish apart anywhere.
Dip your nail onto the design.
While your nail is still in the water take a toothpick and pull the excess polish off the water surface. It should come up in mostly one big blob.
Then pull you nail out of the water.
Allow the polish to dry. Use a qtip and remover to clean the edges of your nails.
I repeated this process on all my nails except my index finger.

For my accent nail I used a nail art brush and the wet cement polish to draw out the mask shape.
I allowed this to almost dry then pressed it with the tip of my finger to give it a little texture...
I then added the eyes and mouth in I only Date Werewolves...
Followed by the top and cheek lines in the mask in Red Red...
I just love how this all came together. I actually did it for my little bro who loves Jason !

Nail-Aween day 9: Pumpkin....

Ok so I like how this day came out ;)
I Used the OPI Spookettes Mini set and Wet N Wild Fast Dry in SaGreena the Teenage Witch.
On my Index finger I used 3 coats of OPI He's My Boo.
The rest of my nails were 2 coats of I Only Date Werewolves.
The Pumpkin face is a cute little waterslide decal that was super easy to use that came with the polish set.
On My ring finger I used the He's My Boo to draw out a pumpkin shape.
Then I used SaGreena The Teenage witch with a Nail Art brush and drew out the stem and vines...

Nail-Aween Day 8: Witchy...

Nice an simple today for the Witch look. I used Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Green With Envy and a black nail art pen.
Sorry I didnt clean before taking the pic but I didnt end up wearing this mani cause the green just didnt dry right....

Nail-Aween Day 7: Spider...

Okay so my red ended up being a bit dark for this but I hope you get the idea.
I Used:
A Nail Art Brush
OPI Spookettes mini I Only Date Werewolves
Julep Caroline
Butter London Knackered

So the reason I chose Knackered instead of a white is I wanted that shimmery quality webs have...
And the red was for the Black Widow's Hourglass...

Nail-Aween Day 6 : Frankenstein...

Supplies Used:
Nail Art Brush
OPI Spookettes Mini Set (I Only Date Werewolves & Mummy Knows Best)
Sally Hansen Xtreme wear in Green With Envy.

I started with 2 coats I Only Date Werewolves on all my nails.
I Then used Green With Envy to make the Frankie face. I just drew some points near the top pf my nail and rounded the face out to the bottom.
I added my eyes with Mummy Knows best...
Then went back and added pupils and a stichted mouth in I only Date Werewolves.

Nail-Aween Day 5: Ghosts & Goblins...

Ok so I went kinda simple today...I used the OPI Spookettes mini set in I Only Date Werewolves & Zom-Body To Love.
I Used 2 coats of the I Only Date Werewolves on all my nails.
Then I added the ghostie shape with Zom-Body To Love.
Finished with dots in the I Only Date Werewolves for eyes.

The Green Actually Glows in The dark but of course the pics wouldnt turn out :(


Nail-Aween Day 4: Mummy Mani...


So for this challenge I used the OPI Spookettes Minis & Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear in Wet Cement & A Nail Art Brush.
I Started with 3 Coats of Mummy Knows Best (White)
Then I added the stripes with the wet Cement...
Once I got all my lines places I came back in and added a few lines to the bare spots in between...
Next I Used the I Only Date Werewolves (Black) to draw a horizontal oval near the top of my nails...
 I Then added 2 dots for eyes using the Mummy Knows Best.
Finally I added Pupils to the dots using Zom-body To Love (Glow In The Dark Green)

Nail-Aween Day 3: Bloody Nails...


Here is my go at day 3....
 Ok so I am not 100% happy with the outcome but hey...Now I know what I did wrong and can fix it right.

Soooo For this I had been lookin around and could not for the life of me find a "Zombie" color polish I wanted. What's a girl to do? Whip out the mixing bottle and get to work of course.
So here is my finished Zombie Flesh color I love....
And here is what I used to get there...
Wet N Wild Claw Polish in Sinister
Sally Hansen Extreme Wear in Green With Envy & Wet Cement
& Wet N Wild Fast Dry polish in Sa-Greena The Teenage Witch.

I am soooo in love with how this come out!!


And on to the Bloody part...I used a nail art brush and started with a few "Drips" In Wet N Wild Wild Shine In Red Red...
So I am thinking I shoulda stopped here but I thought this new Julep I got in my October box called Caroline would look good too.....
Then I added one more pass with the wet and wild for my final look...
