I'm a member of the Hobby Polish Bloggers group on Facebook. We're a diverse group of bloggers who help each other discover new ways of getting the blogging done, give each other feedback when asked, and grow our friendship inside and outside the group. Each and every lady in our group is special, we're very supportive of each other and we each contribute in different ways.
We're doing monthly link-ups, and the theme for October is Halloween! I've prepared a few nail art manicures with stamping and a even touch of freehand on two of them!
(The Simples group is really helping give me the confidence to try more free-hand nail art!)
For this look, I used Sweet Heart Polish Rad!, that I recently reviewed, as the base color. I then stamped it with spiders and webs from the Vivid Lacquer plate VL013. Spooky? Creepy?
Next, I tried capturing the feel of eery night skies filled with bats and different phases of the moon. The base is a sponged gradient of two Darling Diva polishes - Early Riser and Tina the Labradorite. The bats are stamped with Vivid Lacquer plate VL013 and the moon is freehanded with a mixture of Zoya Dove and Sweet Heart Polish Bitchin for a greyed out yellow moon effect.
What will you be wearing on your nails this Halloween?
These are fun Halloween nails!

DeleteI love the spiderweb mani. I swear my biggest fear is walking through spiderwebs. It gives me the willies. The night moon manicure is eerie and lovely. That one is my favorite!
ReplyDeleteThank you! and oh man, I don't like walking through spiderwebs either!
DeleteI especially love the spiderwebs and they way they look a little ragged - like you'd find in a haunted mansion or something! :-D Great work!
ReplyDeleteThank you! After reading your comment, I have Disney's Haunted Mansion on the brain! Happy memories from there!
DeleteI love both of them!

ReplyDeleteThank you!! I love that plate, it's one of my faves!
DeleteHi Jen, your eerie nighttime mani with the moon phasing across your nails is very unique! I can just feel the moist fog and hear dried leaves scraping across the streets with this one...
ReplyDeleteWow! You have such a way with describing things so vividly! I wish I had that talent of yours! Thanks so much for the compliment! :D
