Easy but very effective Halloween Nails! 2016 Jack Pumpkin Style.

Who doesn't like Halloween?

Who doesn't like Halloween inspired Nails/Manicures?

I love ANY reason for a new look or to try something new, so it would be rude not to do a Halloween Manicure when scooping & carving Pumpkins ruined my last! 

Worth it :)

So as we do, I scoured the internet for inspiration, there are sooooo many, Tutorials make it look easy, until you try yourself! What I didn't notice, only till recently was the ones I believed to be expertly hand-painted and in awe at the steady hand needed for this, is mostly printing......why haven't I tried this before? I now have a few bits on the way so fingers crossed by Christmas I will have on fleek....printed nails, is that a good thing? I dunno, hard it on my sons loud speaker the other day, we all like to be in with the kids ;)

I found this Spider tutorial......looks easy right?

Now try it, I even tried it on a swatch nail so had two hands,,,,,,,

It didn't look like this, and this said simple......simple for whom?? Not mwa, so I realized, of came my drunk ahum apparent spider and took a look for other ideas!

Here s what I eventually did!

The Jack Pumpkin IS proudly hand painted, with a nail pen!! Here's what I used..

For my left thumb & right pinky

Barry M Magnetic in Dark Silver 226 (They were supposed to be a cross but came out more a star)

For the orange base I used Orange Impulse, from the Sally Hansen Insta-Dri collection ( sourced in £land )

For the Crackle effect I used another Barry M Nail Effects

Not thinking in advance, just hoping to make my mani last I of course sealed it in with a favorite of mine

Sensationail Polish to Gel!

I say without thinking, how long does one wear a Halloween manicure for?? Yes this was realized the day after Halloween, so I'm a bit mift I used my precious stash, Saying that it stayed on well as I knew it would.

Fireworks night was closing in so this had to go as again it would be rude not to have nails on fleek with seasons and holidays ; )

I had lots of compliments during the few days I wore this look! It was fast simple and easy, my three favorite words when kit comes to nails!

My little nail got ripped off dog walking, when did walking your dog become dangerous or a nail breaker?

look at the poor little thing, down to the bone as my old Nana would say......nails don't have bones!! Have you ever tried arguing a point with the older generation....don't, unless you have a few years to loose over one point!

As much as I loved this effective an d head turning look, as always the end of one great manicure leads to another......

Bring on Bonfire night

My nails are ready for you!
