Holiday Nails: If you can't tell, I like Halloween

Today's Design is . . .

(More) Halloween! This one is gonna be a little more advanced than some of the other ones. It is gonna take some time too. I am sorry if you guys don't like Halloween or if you want a little something different, but I am in the holiday spirit!! So, deal with it for a couple more days.

As always here are the colors we are gonna use . . .
 


  • Chine Glaze: Tree Hugger
  • China Glaze: Coconut Kiss
  • Finger Paints: Paper Mache
  • Finger Paints: Prints and Printsess
And so it begins. Start with your base coat. We have discussed this. ALWAYS use base coat. If you haven't picked up on that you need more help than I can offer. 
After that we will do the base colors . . .
Pinkey: orange
Ring: white
Middle: green
Pointer: white
Thumb: purple












Let's start with the pinkey, this one is probably going to be the easiest one, spider web!
Make a black wavey line diagonally across the middle of the finger. It is just like the lines you used to make in elementary school to single water. Then you fill in the space from the bottom of your nail to the black line.





Next, make thin black lines from the peaks of the wave to the bottom corner of your nail. These are going to be the thick spider web lines. After that just make some swoopy lines connecting the bigger ones. 








And now onto the ring finger, Vampire!!!
 This one part is pretty easy. Make a dot at the point you want his hair to connect. Then make curves to the outside of your nail. And two simple dots for his eyes.
Now on the bottom of your nail make a smile and add some triangular fangs!





All that is left is to make two red dots on top of the black dots, then two white ones on top of the red ones.



And there you have a Vampire!








Onto the middle finger, the Bat!

Make a black ovalish thing, kind of the shape of a potato.

 Add two little sticks for ears and some fat triangles for wings. This is a pretty simple cute bat.
 Now, make two white dots for the whites of his eyes. And on the wings make three diagonal lines that all connect at the top of his wing.

Add some little black dots for his pupils and you are all done!

Pointer! Skull, very reminiscent of Jack Skellington.

Make two black dots, more oval than circular. Then add a happy smile!!







Now make two really small versions of the eyes for his nostrils. Finally some small lines for teeth/mouth stitches. I have never really been able to decide what these lines actually are. 




And now the very last bit, the thumb, which today means Black Cat!


 Make a decent sized black dot for the cats head. Then you have to make the body, it is just a thick black rainbow and some sticks for legs. Then do something curly for the tail.


Now just some white dots/lines for the eyes and you will have a sufficiently creepy arch-backed cat!







And the final product is . . ?


Just too freaking cute!!! 

Happy Halloween!!!
