Nightmare Before Christmas nail design

10/17/11
This is my Halloween nail design. My nails are black and orange with Jack Sellington from Nightmare Before Christmas. I first started off by painting my thumbs black then my other nails orange. Then on the orange nails only I took the black crackle fingernail polish and painted over them. Which gave them the black&orange look. Once that dried I took some clear sliver polish and lightly painted over the nails to give them a nice sparkle. Now for the Jack part....I used the thin brush nail art polish to create the look. I first used white by making a circle on my thumbs and color the circle in with the white as well. Once that dries you will take a thin brush black polish (just like the white) to make two eyes, two very tiny dots under the eyes for his nose and finally his smile. And dont forget to make the stitch lines in his smile. Lastly coat everything with a nice hardening gloss top coat. And if you want for an extra Halloween look take some "glow in the dark" nail polish (that only comes out during this hoilday) and lightly brush over all of your nails. It will not mess up the look of your designs but once the lights go out they all glow. Here's some pics as well of what I did. Hope this helps if you want to try yourself. Please give me your comments :) 


Welcome!

I've decided to start up this blog as a way of showing off my nail designs. I've been told by several people how great they look and I should charge to do nails. I will most certainly put my nail designs up and possibly some how to steps on here as well. But with addition to things I might add other non-nail related things on here. This is my art. I will try my best to keep it updated with the things I do, for I do change my nail style very often.

I hope you enjoy! :)
