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! 

Pumpkin Season- Pumpkin Nail Design

Hello everyone! Today we have another fall nail design, a pumpkin themed design. It's that time of year again where we have pumpkin spice everything, which I don't mind, I love pumpkin flavored things. Even thought I don't care for fall nail colors, I did still want to create some fall themed nail art with out the boring neutral nail polish colors. Also just a note I do get most of my inspiration from Pinterest and then make it my own.

Here are the polishes and nail art tools used to create this pumpkin nail design:

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

Polishes- Milani- Quick Teal (don't think this is made any more, this is a very old but still good polish that I have), OPI Hawaii- Is Mai Tai Croooked, and Holo Taco- Zyler the cat.

Acrylic paint- red, green, yellow, and brown.

Nail art brushes- thin deal, liner and stripper brush.

Other- water and acetone to clean off your nail art brushes. 

Apply a base coat, let that dry.

Polish- 

Thumb- a light orange (OPI Hawaii- Is Mai Tai Croooked) 

Index, middle, ring and pinky finger nail- A teal polish (Milani- Quick Teal, this is a very old polish that I am sure that don't make, but you can use any kind of teal polish)

Let that dry.

Small Pumpkin Design on Index and Ring Finger Nails: 

Starting off with the small pumpkin shapes on the index and ring finger nails. First make an oval shape for a full size pumpkin with orange paint, you will need to go over this a few times to make them opaque enough. On my nails I only made a few full size pumpkins, two on the index and one on the ring finger nail, the rest where just half size. 

Also repeat this step a few time for the half shapes of the pumpkins, just make a half oval. Then for the stems, make a small thin line at the top of the pumpkin. Let your pumpkin dry and then, take a brown paint and make a few curved lines on your pumpkins for some more details.

For the final touches for some vines, take your thin stripper brush and make some curved lines and some lines with some loops in it. Also for you can add some yellow dots around the nails as well. 

Line Design on the middle and pinky finger nails: 

For the lines on the middle nail first take your thin stripper brush with a light orange polish (OPI Hawaii- Is Mai Tai Croooked) and make two lines near the tip of the nails. Then take a glitter orange polish (Holo Taco- Zyler the cat) and make two line going up the nails on the left hand side. Try and get the lines to be straight, which is still hard for me to do as well. 

On the pinky finger nail just switch the polishes that you used and repeat the same steps, or you can keep them the same.

Larger Pumpkin on the Thumb Nail:

Last we will make a pumpkin on the thumb nail, Take an orange paint on a liner brush and make an oval near the cuticle, then fill that in with that orange, you will need to go over this a few time to be opaque. 

Then take a brown paint and make a thick line or small square at the top of the pumpkin for the stem, this will also give some time for your pumpkin to dry. 

Once it is dry, take a brown paint on a thin stripper brush and make some curved line n your pumpkin and also you can outline the pumpkin as well. 

Lastly you can make a green stem or leaf on your pumpkin, make a curved line with a loop in it. 

Once your pumpkins are ready to be picked, apply a top coat to seal in your design and to help it to last though all of your yummy pumpkin treats.

Hope all of you enjoyed this pumpkin nail design!

See you next time for more nail fun!  

Apple Orchard- Apple Nail Design

Hello everyone! Happy Fall, if you like this time of year. I personally just like pumpkin everything and the chaining of the leaves, not that it is starting to get colder, at least where I live. Today we will be creating a fall themed nail design, a red apple nail design, that is actually quite simple to create. 

Here are the polishes and nail art tools used to create this apple nail design:

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

Polishes- Finger paints- Tiffany Imposter, Colors by llarowe- Arturo, and Zoya- Renee- Redbook trio. 

Acrylic Paint- Red and green.

Nail art brushes- Thin detail and stripper brush.

Other- water to clean off your nail art brushes, also some acetone to also clean off your nail brushes.

Apply a base coat, let that dry.

Polish- 

Thumb nail- Light blue holographic polish (Colors by llarowe- Arturo)

Index, middle, ring, and pinky finger nails- Light blue polish (Finger paints- Tiffany Imposter)

Let that dry.

On all of the nails for the apple shape, start off by making a half circle than another half circle right next to each other to make an apple shape. I first stared off using red acrylic paint to get the shape just right then once that dried I went over that with red polish. 

On each nail you can make just a few whole apples, then a few on the sides for half an apple. Depending on the size of your nails will most likely determine the amount of apples that can fit on the nails. 

For final touch to all of the apples that you made, make a thin small green line at the top of your apples, then lastly make some small leaves on the blank areas of the nails. 

For the thumb nail, we will make a larger apple that will cover most of the nail. Once again I did the shape with acrylic paint then went over it with red polish. Take your small detail brush with red paint then make a two half ovals that come together and then fill that in. Also if you want you can just go straight in with red polish. 

Lastly for the final touch, with green paint make a small thin line from the top of the apple than two curved lines for your leaves. 

Once you have your apple nails ready for picking, apply a top coat to seal in your design and to help it to last.

This design is actually simple to create with you a basic shape, also you can make this even more simple by just making some apples on a few nails and just leaving a few nails with just polish/ blank. Also if you want you can make different colored apples as well; green and yellow, whatever colored apples you would like.

Hope all of you enjoyed this apple nail design. Next time we will be creating another fall nail design, pumpkins.

See you next time for more fall fun nails!
