Treats Only, Candy Time- Halloween Nail Design

Hello everyone! Happy Halloween! It's that time again for lots and lots of candy and some scares too. Today on the blog we will be creating a Halloween design, with candy corn, spiders, a ghost and a pumpkin. 

Here are the polishes and nail art tools used for this Halloween nail design- 

Base and top coat- CND Stickey Base Coat and CND Super Shiney Top Coat. 

Polish- China Glaze- Chalk Me Up!, Holo Taco- Orange Drink- Rainbow Collection, Holo Taco- Lemon Sucker- Rainbow Collection, Holo Taco- Electrostatic- Electric Holo Collection, and Sally Hansen- Hard as Nails- Hard to get. 

Acrylic paint- Black, white, and brown.

Nail art tools- Thin detail and striper brushes, and a large dotting tool. Also a makeup sponge. 

Other- Water to clean off your nail art brushes.

Apply a base coat, then let that dry.

Polish-

Thumb- Light blue.

Index and ring finger nail- Holographic orange.

Middle and pinky finger nail- Holographic yellow.

Let that dry.

Candy Corn Gradient- 

First we will start off with the candy corn gradient. Starting with your yellow base on the middle and pinky finger nail. Take that same base color, the yellow on a sponge, then polish orange, then lastly white for the gradient. Create a strip going down the sponge with all three colors.

Dab the sponge on the nail staring with the white on the tip. You will need to repeat this step a few time for it to be opaque.

Orange and Black Gradient, with Spiders- 

Just like the candy corn nails we will be doing a gradient with orange and black. Take a sponge with orange and black polish on it. Then dab the nails a few time for it to be opaque. 

For the spider web make three long lines from the left side on the index nails, and the right side on the ring finger nail. Then on each web make a curved line in each section of the web. 

Now on to the spiders, I decide to keep them very simple, by just make an oval shape for the body and then making four lines for the legs. Also add some lines from the cuticles to the spiders. 

Ghost on top of a Pumpkin- 

On the thumb nail we will make a ghost that is sitting on top of a pumpkin (even though my ghost kind of looks like a snowman.🙃) 

Staring off with your pumpkin, take the orange polish that you used on the other nails and staring near the cuticle, make kind of a heart shape, by swiping up to the middle and then doing the same thing on the other side. Then fill that in. 

Once your pumpkin is dry you can also outline the pumpkin with brown and make some curved lines inside the pumpkin as wells long with a stem. 

For the ghost, take some white paint on a detail brush and make a circle for the head than an oval shape for his body, lastly make two arms. 

For the ghost face take a large dotting tool with black paint on it and make two dots for the eyes. then, once that has dried make two smaller white dots over the black. For the smile make a small curved line under the eyes. Lastly you can add some pink checks as well.

Lastly a step I kind of wish I left out is, add some orange and black dot to the blue background.

Once your nails are ready for all the candy, apply a top coat to seal in your design and to help it last all Halloween.

Hope all of you enjoy this Halloween nail design and have a safe and Happy Halloween!

See you next time for more nail fun!
