Halloween Nails

Okay, so I know Halloween was yesterday but for people who are celebrating it over the weekend (i.e. going to clubs) this is a really quick nail art idea for you.

You will need:

A white nail polish

A red nail polish

A sponge

1. The first thing I did was rip a sponge in half. Using the ripped side will give the effect of the splattered blood, which we want. 

2. Paint the whole nail with the white nail polish, I used 3 coats to get a really opaque finish. Let the nails dry completely.

3. Paint about half a cm of the sponge with the red polish (preferably the tip so you have more control over the sponge). Then just dab the sponge onto the tip of the nail.

That's it! 

I didn't even use a top coat because I was in a rush, but feel free to do that step if you wish.

Hope everyone had a great Halloween, I know I did!

Candy Nails

I was feeling creative yesterday so decided to think outside the box and paint my nails a bit different. They reminded me of candy floss and I just think they're a nice way to brighten up these rainy days. 

The first thing I did was paint the entire nail with one coat of Fiji by Essie, then apply two more coats to the left side of the nail (or right side, which ever you prefer). The one coat over the entire nail gives a nice base/primer for any other colours I use. 

I then painted the other side of the nail in Sinful Colour's 24/7. 

I finished the nails by putting a stripe of glitter down the centre, I used a H&M polish in Jo Is In The House, and then applied a clear topcoat.

  

I thought they were pretty easy to do, so if you're in a creative mood give this look a go and let me know how yours turned out.
