My final manicure for this challenge is zombie nails! I think this is actually my third set of zombie nails for this challenge. Zombies RULE!
Oookie! I have a bunch more ideas for Halloween nails, so I guess I will just save them for next year. These matched the costume I am wearing today.
I started with a lovely pink shade, though it looks more orange in this shot.
I added red polish in random patches to the tips of each nail.
Then I used a dark brown acrylic paint to make jagged cracks, and then highlighted the bottoms of each crack with black acrylic paint.
I did both hands! Hello right hand, long time no see!
So my costume is Miss Zombie Sonoma County! I had fun putting this together. As soon as I had the make up on, the character just came together. So funny!
Grrrr! Arg! Brains! (I photoshopped my eyes in this pic. No money for cool contacts.) Polished used in this manicure: Sally Hansen First Kiss, Revlon Raven Red, Cult Nails Get It On basecoat, and Seche Vite topcoat.
And I was even inspired enough to make a short video. Meet Miss Zombie Sonoma County!
OMG! That video is great! I've loved everyday of your 31day challenge. Happy Halloween!
ReplyDeleteGreat video! Lol That's hilarious!
ReplyDeleteI know I've kept putting off responding to your comment on what kind of lighting and tripod I used for my nail art video. Sorry about that! I have a little 7 inch desktop tripod to put my camera on (it angles downward and locks into place), and for lighting I have one of those 5 head gooseneck lamps beside my desk with several pointed downward at different angles! Hope that helps!
Heh heh, thanks Genetta! Happy Halloween!
ReplyDeleteOh thanks so much Leslie! I am going to try to do a video before the year is over, we will see how that goes. :) Now it is time to take a wee break. My stained nails need a few days of breather. :)
ReplyDeleteYour costume looks great, but I must admit, I'm pretty sad that you're done with the challenge... Whose blog will I stalk everyday for amazing Halloween nail art now? Please tell me that you'll still be painting your nails semi-often!!
