Halloween Spooky Green Spider Nail Art!

By Ruth

Behold! My spooky spider Halloween nails! 😀

Spooky Spiders!

Spooky Spiders!

I started off with a couple of coats of Happy Ending from Sinfulcolors which is a bright green with gold shimmer, when it was dry I used the cling film technique with Emerald City Which is a sparkly Matte polish from Revlon, I followed that with a coat of Seche Vite.

The spiderweb image is from Moyou from the Pro Collection XL 05 I used Night Moves from Barielle Shades, I find that It’s a really good silver polish for stamping, then another coat of Seche Vite.

For the spiders I used Konad special polish in black and my unbranded Halloween plated that I picked up on ebay, they are not the best quality but I like the images 🙂 And then, yes you have guessed it, another coat of SV. I like to use SV in between each layer of stamping in case I mess up the next image, this way I can carefully take off the offending bit of polish with a cotton bud dipped in acetone with out having to start again 🙂

Shiny Silver nails with Moyou Suki Collection plate 06!

By Ruth

Continuing with my little challenge of using some of the stamping images that I haven’t used yet here is another image from the Moyou XL Suki Collection 06 plate.

This is a really lovely image, it was really easy to transfer onto my nails 🙂 It’s one my favorite images from this plate and I’m glad I got to use it for this 🙂

The silver foil polish is Night moves from Barielle Shades, for the stamping I used Konad Special stamping polish in black (I really have to buy some more) and a coat of Seche Vite.

Silver and Black Gradient Half Moon Nails.

By Ruth
Silver and Black Half Moon Nails

Silver and Black Half Moon Nails

For this I used three polishes, Coalest Day of the year and Night Moves Both from Barielle Shades and Black on Black from sinfulcolors (I really need to get another bottle soon)

I started with two coats of Night Moves which is a lovely bright silver foil. after waiting for it to dry, I used my trusty Ring binder hole reinforcements to create the half moon shape.

Then using Black on Black, Coalist Day and a bit more of the night moves I sponged on the gradient. this took three thin coats. while the polish was still wet I carefully removed the hole reinforcements with tweezers, then applied a coat of Seche Vite!

Halloween Nail Art!

By Ruth

Hello!

Here is my first Halloween Nail art for this year! 😀

I started with a sponged gradient using Secret Agent, Couture Grey and Cosmic Dust.

For the moon I used Night Moves, to get the circle I painted two thick coats onto a plastic bag and left it to dry, then peeled the polish from the bag and used a hole punch to make it! I stuck it to my nail with a dab of the grey polish and covered it with a coat of Seche Vite to secure it in place.

After all of that dried I used Konad special polish in black for the stamping, the plates I used where some cheap unbranded ones from Ebay! It did take me quite a few attempts to get a good image from them, but the final result was worth it 🙂  Then one final coat of Seche to finish it off!

Barielle Shades Nail Polish Swatches

By Ruth
Barielle Shades. Blackened Bleu, Starchild, Coalest Day Of The Year, Night Moves and Out-Grey-Geous

Here are some Barielle Shades swatches.

Coalest Day Of The Year Swatch

Coalest Day Of The Year Swatch

Dark grey shimmer with silver micro glitter. Applying this polish was lovely, I would describe the colour as a rich gun-metal. It has a good amount of pigment and enough shimmer as to not be overpowering but stopping it from looking flat. This is two coats and the drying time was really quick!

Blackened Bleu Swatch

Dark grey jelly polish with fine dark blue glitter formula quite thin but with a high glitter content, there was some streaking but that was mostly covered with the final coat. I applied three rather thick coats this polish luckily dries quickly!

Out-Grey-Geous

Grey frost with gold micro glitter. As with most frost finishes the formula for this one is quite thin, It took 3 coats. But is easy to apply, the gold shimmer and micro glitter adds depth and warmth to the polish.

Night Moves Swatch

This is a fantastic bright silver foil the formula was extremely easy to apply, very good coverage, no streaking or dragging at all, very glossy finish! I think this polish will be added to my favorites! 🙂

Starchild Swatch

Starchild Swatch

Starchild is a clear base with different sized hex holographic glitter. This is one rather thick coat over the top of Coalest Day of the year. It took a little bit of dabbing to get the glitters evenly spaced out, but I didn’t have to go digging
about or chasing the glitters around in the bottle 🙂
