"This Is Halloween" - Zombies

Onto the third week of the "This is Halloween" Nail Art Challenge, I wasn't that excited. Zombies are not my thing, and my mind was blank...

...suddenly, I had that lightbulb moment: Zombie Farm!! Hubby plays that on his iPhone, and I started looking for pictures to see if they were doable. Guess what? They were!!

Green was the base colour for my zombies. Not being a big fan of green, I thought it was the perfect opportunity to try all my light greens!

Right hand was from an Italian brand, Milano, that my grandma bought for me in Paris, earlier this year. It seems to be a drugstore brand, and it has no name, only a number: 067. Application was easy, no problem with clean up, and it was a one-coater!! Looks like a good stamping polish. I can envision some interesting Christmas designs! :-)


For the left hand, I used High Line Green (New York Colour) and on the non-zombie nails I topped it off with Ivy League (Sally Hansen), which I had already used for the St. Paddy's mani. 

Totally Cool Nails's Zombie Tutorial taught me how to draw the zombies. I followed the same technique for the Zombie Farm zombie on my thumb. Hubby didn't recognize it at first, but he was all proud when I showed the picture that inspired me... ;-)

Black details were either with Black Expressionism (Finger Paints) or Sally Hansen Nail Art Pen in Black. If you ever use the pen, careful with your skin. It stains and there's no polish remover that will get rid of it. It only goes away after a shower...  Roguish Red (China Glaze), Snow Me White (Sinful Colors), and Amarelo Pop Art (Colorama) were also used for the red, white, and yellow details.

As ugly as Zombies can be, it turned out to be a very cute design! :-)

What will we come up with next??

"This Is Halloween" - Jack-O-Lanterns

Another post, another day of our "This Is Halloween" Nail Art Challenge!

For Jack-O-Lanterns, no better way to start than with an orange polish, right? ;-)

To start, two easy coats of Fagulha (Colorama) - that translates from the Portuguese as Spark -, but I would've used a third had I worn it on its own. With a striping brush, I drew the darker lines using Roguish Red (China Glaze). Details in black - eyes, nose, mouth - were either with Black Expressionism (Finger Paints) and dotting tools of different sizes, or with Sally Hansen Nail Art Pen in Black (liked it better this time around).

The theme was Jack-O-LanternS, and that was the excuse I needed to play around with many different pumpkin faces!!

Can't wait to see what else the other ladies in this challenge are gonna come up with!
