Halloween Challenge - Inspired by a Scary Movie

Hello Lovlies,

this is it, the Halloween Challenge 2012 is almost done, can't believe, how fast the time flew.

Well today's theme is inspired by a scary movie.

I want to tell you a little story, why I chose this movie. So I was about 9 or 10 years old, when I went to another girls birthday, we had fun and then she asked if we wanted to watch that movie. I have no idea which one of the series it was, but it just was with Freddy Krueger. The night, when I came home, I did not want to go to bed. I was afraid, that he would come into my dreams and would kill me, I did not realize, that this was just a movie.

So this is my Freddy Krueger inspired manicure:

Index and ringfinger are inspired by his jumper he is wearing, the other ones are inspired by his skin.

The red is NYC Madison Avenue the brown is Manhattan St. Honore - one coat each

Then I used NYC City Blackout and Cheeky's image plate CH 10 for the stripes and a foil and Manhattan Pumpkin Carrot Pie for the skin - image.

Halloween Challenge - Blood/Gore/Splatter

Hello there,

today's Halloween Challenge Theme is Blood/Gore/Splatter. I did a mani like that a while ago and haven't posted it yet, so this is my interpretation of blood!

So as a base I used OPI's Alpine Snow, I know, I complained about the opactiy, but I love love love that crisp clean white.

Then I used China Glaze Phat Santa and a straw, my fingerprint and a dotting tool to do the Nailart:

Halloween Challenge - Pumpkins

Hello Lovlies,

I can't believe it, next week, is Halloween, already, and after today's challenge theme, there will be just three more left.

So today's theme of the Halloween Challenge is PUMPKINS. (I followed the Challenge on this Facebook Page, if you are interested, come and join!)


So, if I had one pumpkin image plate, I would've used it, but instead, I did some weird nailart, I am not convinced that you could see, that these should be pumpkins or Jack-O-Lanterns, to be exactly. I was in a hurry, and all I can say is: I tried!

So, I started with two coats of Manhattan Pumpkin Carrot Pie, my only orange, that I have with me here in Ireland and finished with one coat of Essie Good to go.

Then I used NYC City Blackout and a dotting tool, to apply the eyes and the mouth, well kind of:

 

 

 

 

Halloween Challenge - Things that go BUMP in the dark

Hello there,

today's theme of the Halloween Challenge is "Things that go BUMP in the dark - Monsters etc."

So I thought of GHOSTS, so I did some stamping...

Actually, I think, ghost are scary, but these ghosts are really cute, I love them...

These are the polishes I used:

OPI Alpine Snow - Manhattan dark blue with shimmer - Essence Stamping Polish in white

 

Stamping Image: SdP-8 by Dashica

 

 

First, I applied two coats of the darkblue Manhattan polish and of OPI's Alpine Snow and finished with one coat of Essence BTGN Top Sealer

 

 

 

 

 Then I used Dashica's Image Plate SdP-8 and for the white ghosts and polka dots, Essence's stamping polish and for the blue one the Manhattan polish

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Halloween Challenge - Freestyle Halloween

Hello there,

another day of our Halloween Challenge (please, check out the Facebook Page)

So today's theme is great, it's a freestyle one, everything is possible, so I thought about the idea of a MUMMY.

Well, the inspiration came from this blog, a great one and her water marbles are awesome.

So this is my interpretation:

This is what I used: OPI Alpine Snow - P2 Sandy Time - Essence Stamping Polish on white - Essence Nail Art Pen in Black (well actually it's a matte one, but you don't see it because of the topcoat)

First I applied 2 coats of OPI's Alpine Snow:

Then I did the water marble in that way, you find it on the blog, by using OPI Alpine Snow and P2 Sandy Time and finished with one coat of Essence BTGN Top Sealer.

For the mummy's "face and eyes" I used Essence's Nail Art Pen and the Stamping Polish and a dotting tool and finished with the Essence Top Sealer.

Halloween Challenge Witches

Hello there!

Well, actually this challenge took place yesterday, but I didn't manage to get onto the computer, so I post my mani tonight.

I really loved that theme, mainly because I have a image plate with bats and witches so this is my mani:

So, I first used China Glaze Mrs. Claus and OPI's Black Onyx on my ringfinger:

 

 

 

As a stamping plate I used Bundle Monster 13 and P2 as polish. For the Ringfinger I used China Glaze's Ring in the Red and a sponge to apply it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Halloween Challenge - Zombies

Hello there,

so it's our third day of the Halloween Challenge and today's theme is Zombies. Wow, it was one of the ones, I haven't had any idea at first.

So this is my Zombie mani, well kind of:
When it comes to free hand painting I am always not the best one

Basecoat is Essie nourish me followed by one coat of Essie Sew Psyched:

 

I then used a clingfilm and Manhattan Grasshopper Cocktail to create the special surface. Finished with one coat Essie Good to Go.

 

 

 

 

For the finishing (spooky) Nailart I used Essie Sole Mate and Essie Sew Psyched

 

 

 

 

 

 

Halloween Challenge - Black Cats

Hi there,

today is the second day of the Halloween Challenge, where I am participating. You can join us on that facebook page.

So today it's black cats, and that is my interpretation of it:

First, I applied one coat of Essie nourish me and then 3 coats of Wet n' Wild 9.0.2.1.Orange and finished with one coat of Essie's Good to go:

 

 

 

 

Then I did some stamping, I used Dashica SdP-46 and P2 eternal to put the cats on my thumb and ringfinger.
Onto the other nails I used a dotting tool to apply the dots.

Halloween Challenge for October

Hello there,
October is one of my favourite months, it's going to be autumn!

And October also means, it's Halloween, one of my favourites, so there is a challenge I want to participate, you could find it on that facebook-page.

And this is the plan, for the challenges:

 

So, today, it's Trick or Treats and that is always assotiated with Candycorn, and this is my interpretation on that  - a watermarble:

 

 

I used P2 pearly yellow as a base (2 coats):

And then the watermarbling with OPI Alpine Snow, Essence Miami Heat, P2 Pearly yellow:

To be honest, in my mind, it looked a lot better than in the reality, I am a bit dissapointed of it, but watermarbling is not my best nail art, just wanted to try something new.
