"This is Halloween" Nail Art Challenge! Day 3: Ghosts

Hello all! Today's challenge is ghosts! I absolutely love ghosts and just created a fun ghostly manicure for the 31 day challenge. I was very happy with that post, you can see it here. So for today's challenge I wanted to use one of the ghosts that I used for the last mani and I decided to go with Casper. Casper is a friendly ghost and he occasionaly has problems with these other ghosts, known as the Ghostly Trio. I've seen the early cartoons and the movies. Since Casper was a big part of my childhood, I thought he would be a fun ghost design, so I decided to create a design with him and the Ghostly Trio.

My nails depict (from thumb to pinky) Fatso, Stinky, Casper, Stretch and Casper's name. I knew the ghosts would just be black and white, so I decided to use a fun Holographic nail polish as the back ground. I think it really works! When I was telling Tara about the polish I totally said Horrorgraphic...haha I guess it's rather fitting for the ghosts! 

What I used:

• Base color: Kleancolor Holo Chrome
• Black and white acrylic paint
• Fine tipped nail art brush

So what do you guys think? I really love the way they came out! My thumb with Fatso makes me think of the earrings I use to have. The Fatso earrings were a tad heavy but I loved to wear them every October. I am pretty sad that they have gone missing. What is something you wear every October to celebrate Halloween? I can't wait to see what everyone else came up with for today's challenge!

Up next for this challenge is Jack-O-Lanterns! I am pretty excited to do these. By the way! I am starting my new job today! It's only part time but I am nervous about it and I'm not sure how my schedule will be so I might be a bit slow with blogging and returning comments! Also, I was asked to do a tutorial, which is coming but I have been having problems with it. Hopefully I can get it out to you guys soon. 

Until next time,

31 Day Challenge! Day 29: Inspired by the Supernatural

Hello all! I have been looking forward to today's challenge. The objective was to create nails inspired by the supernatural. When I think of the word supernatural, I think of ghosts! So I decided to paint all of my favorite cartoon ghosts onto my nails!

Today's untried polish is Sally Hansen Gun Metal. I bought this polish months ago and just forgot about it! I think it's an awesome color too! It reminds me of lead, like from pencils haha! So I choose this color for the base color of this mani because of the name being Gun Metal. This is how the thought process went: Gun Metal---> Gun Smoke ---> Smoke= Fog---> Fog is spooky!---> GHOSTS! Yep, that's seriously what happened. 

How many cartoon ghosts are there? I could only think of four but I feel like I am missing some! So just in case you don't recognize my ghosts from thumb to pinky we have: Slimer from Ghost Busters, Casper the friendly ghost, Boo from the Mario games, Haunter (who is a Pokemon), and my pinky is a ghosty stamp!

So what do you think of my ghosts?

What I used:

• Base color: Sally Hansen Gun Metal
• Pinky:
•  Konad stamping polish
• BM 223
• For the rest of the nails I used my assortment of acrylic paints.

I just adore how my ghosts came out! Another manicure I am going to hate to get rid of! There is only a couple days left of the challenge, which is sad, I am having a lot of fun. See you tomorrow for nails that are inspired by a tutorial!
