Hello there lovely readers!
Finding myself fully getting into the
swing of all things Halloween with another mani to share with you
today!
For this manicure I took inspiration from a film by one of my favourite directors Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas. I absolutely love watching his dark Gothic creations & this one is a definite favourite! I also love how you can watch it at both Halloween AND Xmas...WIN.
Went for a Jack Skellington vibe
obviously with the black and white pinstripes there & of course
his wee face as an accent, even though the resemblance isn't exactly
as strong as I'd hoped but hey ho, I'm no arteeest haha! And I
couldn't resist a little blood again, tis for Halloween after all!
I started with painting all nails with
two coats of NYC Pinstripe White. To add a bit of depth I applied a
coat of glitter topcoat by 17 on top of the white.
I then used Models Own nail art pen in
black to add 3-4 straight lines to every nail except the ring finger.
On this I just used my nail art brush & some black polish to
draw on Jacks grinning handsome face.
Blood drips look great on any end of
the nail, here I decided to do my blood drips from the cuticles to
kinda give the impression of bleeding from the skin...nice. I used a
dotting tool & Nails Inc St James, a vibrant red perfect for
blood to create the drips.
I couldn't help myself from adding a
bit of sparkle so applied some red glitter in the form of Nails Inc
Trafalgar Square to jazz up that blood :)
Finish with topcoat to really make that
glitter twinkle & The Nightmare Before Christmas mani is done!
Hope you liked dolls. The midi ring is from Topshop FYI. Thanks for
stopping by!
Lotsa love to ya!
