Holoween Boo // Negative Space Halloween Ghost Holo Design

Holoween Boo Negative Space Halloween Ghost Holo Design

I wanted something simple yet spooky and ended up stamping on these negative space designs while painting my nails one morning.

This is a super simple one; just 3 layers of Dare to Bare followed by the negative stamp designs using Mrs Danvers.

It's In The Cards // Tarot Halloween Nails

It's In The Cards Tarot Halloween Nails using China Glaze Maniology

This was a fiddly design and I need waay more practice with layering stamps that are straight lines. This didn't turn out exactly how I wanted but it's close enough and I think it looks ok.

I feel like the tarot cards themselves need more colour on them. I started off with 2 layers of Cowboy Bye, then stamped in this order:
  1. Card background using Cafe au Lait
  2. Tarot design using Smokey
  3. Card borders using Bright Lights
Then added a layer of smudge proof top coat followed by a matte top coat.

Neon Halloween // Neon Orange & Black Pumpkin Carving Design

Neon Halloween // Neon Orange & Black Pumpkin Look

A super quick halloween look! Not spooky in the slightest but perfect for nights out when you have about 20 minutes to do your nails.

This involved 2 coats of Paradise City followed by the designs stamped with Neither Noir with a matte top coat on top. And that's it!
