Jack Skellington Nail Art

What's this?

What's this?

It's time for another nail design!!!

 FYI-I love The Nightmare Before Christmas! So now that October is just around the corner, I figured it would be appropriate for a Jack Skellington manicure! Step by step instruction are down below. So Have Fun & Enjoy!!  

Difficulty: Medium
Tools you will need:   1.Small Dotting tool-I used a toothpick
                                2.White nail polish-I used Petites in French White
                                3. Black nail polish-I used Jordana in Black
                                4.Dark purple nail polish- I used Sinful Colors in Amethyst
                                5.Purple glitter nail polish- I used Petites in Black Amethyst
                                6.Yellow nail polish- I used SH Sugar Coat in Sweetie
                                7.Clear top coat- I used NYC Long Wearing Extra Shiny Top Coat

Now let's get started!

1. Paint all of your nails white! Mine needed 2 coats. Allow it to dry completely.

2. Grab your black nail polish and put some on a paper plate (or something you don't mind throwing away) and grab your dotting tool or toothpick. Practice dipping and making small circles and lines on the paper plate, when you feel comfortable move to the next step.

3. Use your toothpick to draw Jack's eyes on your middle finger. Remember they don't have to be perfect circles, start small and you go always make them bigger-have fun with it!

4. After his eyes are done draw to small lines for his nose and then draw a smile with small stitches through it. Next take your time and draw some black lines using your toothpick on your pinky nail to make some stripes.

5. Paint your thumb and ring finger purple. While that it drying go ahead and paint the purple glitter on your index finger. (if you want you can paint your index finger purple or black and then add the purple glitter-it's up to you!) When your nails are dry move on to the next step!

6. Using your yellow nail polish paint a circle in the center of your thumb-remember to start small and make it bigger if need be. Mine needed 2 coats. Let it dry.

7. Using your toothpick and black nail polish start at the bottom right corner of your thumb nail and begin stippling the outline of the infamous curly hill. Remember it get's smaller as it curls so take your time! Fill it in with the same stippling you did the outline with.

8. I decided to add some stitches on my ring finger because it looked bare. I used my toothpick dipped in black nail polish to slowly drag a line across my nail and then did a few small stitches across the larger line--much like Jack's mouth!

9. When your designs are dry add your clear top coat!

10. You are done!! YAY! You rock!   Now go sing "What's This?" or "This is Halloween" and annoy your kids, friends, family...... :)

Watercolor Zebra Print Manicure

It's time for a new nail design! 

Today I did a simple watercolor zebra print manicure, to show everyone you don't have to spend big $$ for your nails to look cute! Step by step instructions are down below!

Difficulty: Easy
Tools you will need: 1. White nail polish--I used Petites in French White (417)
                                  2. Black nail polish or a black striper--I used SH i <3 Nail Art striper in Black (310)
                                  3. Neon/Hot Pink--I used Milani Neon in Pink Hottie (507)
                                  4. Lime Green-- I used Pure Ice in Wild Thing
                                  5. Blue-- I used Pure Ice in French Kiss
                                  6. Clear Top Coat--I used NYC Long Wearing Extra Shiny Top Coat (271)
                                  7. Cosmetic Wedge/Sponge
                            **  If you do not have a black nail striper you will need a toothpick to draw the lines!  **

Let's get started!! Just follow the steps!

1. Paint you nails white. I needed 2 coats. *Did you know if your nail polish is taking forever to dry, you can get a bowl of cold water & add a few ice cubes to it--dip your nails in and it will speed up the drying process!!  When it's dry move to step # 2!

2-3. Paint a line of pink, green, and the blue on your cosmetic wedge/sponge and start dabbing on your nails. Don't be scared if it gets on your skin--it comes off easily with a Q-tip and some nail polish remover! It will be a transparent color like watercolors! If you think there is more of one color than another add some more to your sponge and dab away! Be careful because it DOES get darker the more polish you add!!

4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 to all of your fingers! Get creative and Have fun!  :)

5. Okay your nails are dry right? Now we will learn to make zebra stripes! Grab your black nail striper or black nail polish (if you do NOT have a striper you need to put a dollop of black nail polish on a paper plate or something you don't mind throwing away and grab your toothpick--dip it in the black nail polish....) start at the top of your nail on the left side and let the brush/toothpick lightly touch your nail. Now roll your nail towards you to make a stripe! Not all stripes are the same! Some are wavy and some are thick! It is all up to you!

6. Okay now for the second stripe--do the same thing you just did but on the opposite side and roll your nail away from you!

7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 all the way down your finger! Don't be scared! Remember if you mess up you can always go back and tweak the lines by adding a little more black polish here and there to thicken up the lines to make it look like you meant to do that! ;)

8. Do all of your nails--or if you want you could just do the zebra print on your ring finger as an accent nail..the choice is yours!

9. After the stripes are dry add the Clear top Coat and you are DONE!  YAY!! You did it! Now that wasn't so hard was it?? You will get tons of compliments! :)
