Halloween Challenge! Day 7: Pumpkins

Hello all! Today's challenge is pumpkins. Pumpkins are heavily involved in fall, especially for carving or baking with. I love pumpkin rolls and certain pumpkin things and Jack-o-lanterns are pretty fun too. I just did a jack-o-lantern mani not too long ago so for today's challenge I wanted to think outside of the box and I came up with Linus in the pumpkin patch waiting for the arrival of the Great Pumpkin. If you have no idea what I am talking about, I am referring to one of the Halloween Peanut's specials that comes on TV.




What I used:
  • Base color: Essie Really Edgy
  • Sponge on Wet n' wild Teal of Fortune
  • Red, yellow, peach, and black acrylic paint
I just adore the Peanuts and Linus is by far my favorite! I just think he is the cutest thing, for the most part I think he came out pretty good. I think my pumpkins need some work though.


So what do you guys think? I hope you like Linus in the pumpkin patch! Up next is blood/gore/splatter. Since I am incapable of doing splatter, expect some bloody nails. 

Until next time,
PeaceErin

"This is Halloween" Challenge! Day 7: Gradient

Hello all! Today I have some Halloween themed gradient nails for you. I still need practice with making gradients but I like the way this one came out. I choose to do orange to yellow with some black pumpkins, since the gradient by itself seemed a little boring.



What I used:
  • Base color: Sally Hansen Fashionista Orange
  • Gradient: Sally Hansen Sun Kissed, Fashionista Orange, Lightening
  • Sponge
  • Stamp: BM 305
  • Black stamping polish

I can't get over how quickly this month has been flying by! Halloween is next week! How insane! 


See you tomorrow with more pumpkin nails!
PeaceErin

"This is Halloween" Challenge! Day 4: Jack-O-Lanterns

Hello all! I had a lot of fun with today's challenge! The idea was to create nails with Jack-O-Lanterns! I wanted to do something fun with my pumpkins, so I used a holographic polish for my base color. I think it really made my nails look awesome!




I really don't have much to say about these nails, I think they are awesome and I hope you all like them. I used Nubar Reclaim as my base color and Sally Hansen Sun Kissed for the pumpkins. Everything else was acrylic paint. I hope you guys enjoyed my nails for today, later on I will be posting a guest post! And don't forget to check out the other Jack-O-Lanterns for today. I'm not sure where the new posts start though...

Later!
PeaceErin
