Following on from Sunday's nail design post, here are the other 3 ideas I had. You could use all of these ideas (and more) at once but if that isn't really your style then you can use one design as an accent nail with the rest painted a plain colour.
1. Spooky eyes
First, you need to paint the nail completely black. Depending on the quality of your polish you may need to do 2 or more coats.
After the black has completely dried, paint 2 small-ish dots of white on. You can do more than 1 pair of eyes if you wish! Add 2 smaller dots of any size inside the white as pupils.
You could use red for a vampire look or yellow for a cat!
2. Pumpkin face
This nail is probably the one that you can do the most with. You can do any sort of pumpkin face after you have the base layer down!
Firstly, paint a base coat of orange and add a small 'tuft' of green at the top. You can then add any type of face that you wish or just add some thin black lines to make the nail into just a plain pumpkin.
3. Candy corn
This Halloween tradition is more American I think but if you want to have a candy corn nail, this is how.
First, paint a complete layer (with possibly 2 or 3 coats) of yellow to create the first segment.
Then you need to paint a partial layer. You need to not paint the whole nail, only about two thirds of the nail. This layer needs to be orange and then the final layer needs to be white. The 3 colours can be in this order or white, orange, yellow depending on which way you want it to be. You need to paint the white layer only about a third of the way down the nail. You can tidy up the edges or draw a triangle around the colour to make into more of a candy corn shape!
Until next time
