Halloween eyes

Halloween! Last year we both did zombie type nails with spiderwebs but somehow this year the day crept up on me. I've planned to do this design for a while and it seemed well suited to the holiday. The original inspiration, from Wah! Nails, used a darkish blue for the iris, but I felt the green one gave a better contrast. In hindsight, I think it would have been cooler to stick to green but that will have to be a note for next time!

Happy Halloween folks!

Bonfire night & Halloween

The good thing about holidays and celebrations is that they give inspiration to what you can paint. For bonfire night we both attempted fireworks (where Gema's turned out better, especially with the "caviar" addition). When doing fireworks, it can be really tricky to make it look like something is happening, and all the tiny middle steps and colour swapping can be quite tedious. Using glitter polishes also helps, even if they're a lot harder to remove later.

For Halloween we had very similar designs again, at least for Frankenstein and spider webs. Charlotte attempted a skull and some chains whilst Gema went for dripping pattern and a Dracula.
