Here is FINALLY my Halloween inspired nail art.
There are four types of nail art in this tutorial, you can make it on only one nail or on all the nails!!
HAVE FUN!!
What you need: a brush, a sponge.
Colors: I used halloween colors like orange, purple, blue, black and white. For some decoration I also used a glitter silver polish.
How to: TYPE A “Jack-o-Lantern”
Apply a orange polish. I used two coats here.
With a dark green polish draw a little leaf at the base of your nail.
With the thin brush and a black polish draw the face of the Jack-o-Lantern.
I added some glitter on the eyes.
How to: TYPE B “Stripes”
Apply a white polish. I used two coats.
Draw a diagonal tip with a orange polish.
Apply the purple polish over the orange one.
Here I added a third color: a blue with a violet reflex. (I used RIMMEL 60 Seconds No. 809 BLUE ME AWAY from the new collection, I also bought No. 819 GREEN WITH ENVY and No. 430 CORALICIOUS, they are all wonderful especially CORALICIOUS, I will soon use it for a nail art!)
With the glitter polish and the thin brush I added some lines between the colors to make them stand out more.
How to: TYPE C “Ghost”
I used a blue polish with violet reflex.
I cut a “ghost shape” in a piece of paper and put it on the nail with some tape.
With a sponge and some white polish I made the little ghost.
Draw eyes and mouth whit a thin brush and black polish.
In the end I’ve added some glitter only on the blue polish.
How to: TYPE D “Little Monsters”
Apply a white polish. I used two coats.
With a sponge make some “stains” with orange and purple polishes.
With the thin brush and the black polish draw the faces of the monsters. I also added a star.
Make some details with the glitter polish.

Here is the final result.
I took my inspiration from these Japanese nail arts.
Apply your base coat.
Apply your nail polish. If needed apply a second coat.
Here is the color outdoor. This polish is a wonderful brown with a “reddish” reflex and is super difficult to make it come out good in a picture.
When the polish is dry apply some rhinestones. I used this ones that were already in that shape but If you use single ones you can make whatever shape you like. Have fun!!
Apply your base coat.
Apply a coat of nude polish and then some silver glitter. Actually I don’t think this is such a grat combination of colors, probably it would have been better without the glitter so if you don’t like leave just the nude polish.
I applied the nude polish on all the four fingers and the pink one on the thumb.
With the brush and the pink polish draw a cross on the nail and then make a ribbon. I choose to make the ribbon only on the ring finger but you could do that on all the nails.
This is the result.
On the thumb I applied some white polish for make the cake. Help yourself whit the brush for give the right shape.
Put some glitter on the white polish and, when dry, use a needle to make the cherry. Do a bigger red dot and then a smaller white one. When PERFECTLY dry apply your top coat.
Apply your base coat.
Apply the white polish alterning it with the black one. Apply a second coat if needed.
Draw an oblique tip with the opposite color. Apply a second coat if needed.
With the head of the needle draw some dots in the opposite color of the base.
With the thin brush and the glitter polish draw a thin line between the tip and the base.
Apply some rhinestones if you wish.
Apply your base coat.
Apply two coats of white polish.
Cut a few circles of paper and, with a clear polish, apply them on your nails. Be sure to make them stick perfectly to your nail.
This is the result after I made all my nails. I already liked it like this but I wanted to give them a glitter touch.
I added a few lines of polish of the same color of the circles and a few lines of silver polish. On the circles I added some silver glitter. When everything was perfectly dry I applied my top coat.
Apply your base coat.
Apply two coat of light green.
Draw the tip with a darker green.
With the thin brush draw a line with the fuxia polish.
On the ring finger and the thumb I added a small ribbon. It isn’t an easy thing to do so if you are not skilled I suggest you to leave the nail like that. I hate when I mess up a nail and I have to start again.
Here my thumb. In the end I added also a glitter pink polish over the fuxia to give it a 3D feeling and in the end a little rhinestone.
Apply your base coat.
Apply two coat of white polish.
With the the sponge make some lines alternating the two colors.
Add a line in the white part using the brush.
On the thumb make an ice cream. First using the brush, draw a brown triangle, on a side use the gold polish and on the other side use the dark brown to make a few lines to give the ice cream a 3D effect. When dry use the drop of polish to make the upper part of the ice cream.
Apply your base coat.
Drop some nail polish on the water. Here I used the colors in this order: purple, lilac, brown. Dip your nails in the water. With the toothpick remove the polish left over on the water and then take it off. On youtube there are a lot of videos with this technique (search: “water marble effect”).
I did it two or three times to have the stripes in different direction. Remove the polish on your skin and from the back of your nails.
Last, I’ve added some fish scale glitter. I really like how the green/blue glitter goes with the purple.
