The One With the Creepy Eye Manicure
9:00:00 AMGood morning polished world! Happy Halloween to you all!!!! Are you dressed up as something spooky for work or whatever it is you may be doing today? I was supposed to dress up as a pineapple along with my co-worker but well that didn't really go as planned. Safe to say I don't think she's going to talk to me haha just kidding she loves me. Instead I'm going to wear a pumpkin shirt and call it a day.
Today I'm sharing with you my last Halloween manicure. It is a re-creation of my spooky eye manicure, which I now am realizing look like cat eyes. This design was originally a re-creation of one done by Nails by Cambria on Instagram. Is she even still around? Now thanks to the Instagram algorithms I never see posts from people I used to. Sigh.
Let's take a look!
Here's where I normally write what colors I used, but honestly as I'm writing this, I have a horrible migraine and I cannot even think which colors were used. Actually let me give it a shot....
- ORLY - White Tips
- ORLY - Liquid Vinyl
- ORLY - Glowstick
- ORLY - Thrill Seeker
A quick google search of Thrill Seeker confirmed that's the green bottle I'm holding! Alaina - 1, Migraine - 0. Oh, I also used INM Northern Lights over the gradient - does my score go up to 2-0 now that I remembered that?!
The looks is actually super easy to acheive even though it looks very difficult. My middle and ring finger I painted white and did a gradient with Thrill Seeker and Glowstick. I then added a top coat of INM Northern Lights. When that was dried, I painted on the design using a nail art brush and Liquid Vinyl.
Took some time and precision, but I finally got the eyes to look how I wanted them. I think next year if I attempt this design, I'm going to make the eyes a little larger. I feel like the gradient got lost.
What do you think? Spooky nail art? Something you've tried?
Have a safe and Happy Halloween!!!!
Until next time, <3.
