Halloween scenery

Hello Hello,

And another Halloween mani I did for the BM challenge. The theme that day was orange and black.

Gradient orange and black holo base with Catherine Arley 806 (orange) and 805 (black). Stamped the devil from BM305, the spiderweb on the tips of my pinkie and middle finger from BM13, also from BM13 the cross, the skull is from BM-H07, the sort of creepy trees from BM224 and also the house from that plate, the pumpkins from BM-H06 and the bats from BM-H08. Dotted the images with a bright orange neon China Glaze Sunworshiper.

Another picture.

And here just a picture of the gradient base.

Thanks for reading!

A witching time at night when everything might bite

Hi everyone,

Today I'll show you my Bundlemonster contest entry :) I've made 2 weeks ago and I could not choose which one I wanted to enter in the contest, this one or the The trees get eyes when the moon begins to rise so I posted it in a nail group and the lovely members helped me choose by voting on which one they liked best. And this mani had more votes :)

You can see all the entries of this Halloween contest here. You can vote on all the entries you like and you can vote every day till October 23rd. If you like mine I am on page 10 ;) They are in the order of how they were submitted (I believe) so on page 11 the first entries and page 1 the last entries.

You also had to give it a title so I called them "A witching time at night when everything might bite".   During Halloween everything might be haunted and can get freaky even the cutest things like a bunny. So I made a Halloween scenery where everything is freaky and haunted even a cute bunny that is now "evil".

Sponged the base with 4 Konad stamping polishes SN pastel blue, SN sky pearl, SN blue and SN royal purple, painted the sky (with different colored brush strokes)  the moon, tree trunks and the little cross. Stamped with BM04 (cat), parts of BM12 (leaves, branches), BM13 (cross, bats, witch), BM20 (stars), BM302 (devil bunny haha) and BM305 (pumpkins, house and the part of the devil to make the bunny evil) colored some images and dotted yellow eyes.

I only have the first and 3rd BM set so I had to get creative with the images :)

Here is the direct link to my entry A witching time at night when everything might bite  but you can always look mine up on page 10 :) Remember to vote for all you like (I am also voting for my fellow nail friends who entered) and you can vote every day.

If you are on a phone and it doesn't work try this:  http://www.bundlemonster.com/cirquedufreakcontestentry I am on page 10.

Thank you so much for reading (and maybe voting too) :)

The trees get eyes when the moon begins to rise!

Hi Everyone,

Today I'll show my first Halloween nails of this year. I love Halloween even though it isn't really celebrated here. I've made these last week together with another Halloween mani, and I could not choose which one to enter in the Halloween contest, so I asked members of a FB group they chose the other one (will show them later this week or next week).

"The trees get eyes when the moon begins to rise"

Sponged base (Konad pastel orange yellow, dark orange, cool red and added some brush strokes to get a sky effect and a little foggy around the trees) colored the moon, drew the tree trunks and stamped the branches and leaves with parts of BM12 with Konad SN black and added some yellow dots as eyes. The Jack O on the moon is from BM305. I was a little proud of myself that I drew the tree trunks and moon haha cause I hardly freehand stuff (I know it were just lines but still, lines are hard for me too :P )

Thanks for reading and have a great day!

Everything is Haunted!

Happy Halloween Everyone,

 

This holiday isn't really celebrated here in Holland but I do like it a lot  and wish it was a real holiday here too:) (and like you could see in my previous post I went to a Halloween party last weekend) I love making Halloween themed nails, so today I'll show you another creation: a haunted village :) on a sunset gradient base.

 

A 3 color gradient with Catherine Arley 806, 800 and 673 (just painted not sponged) Did sponge the black with Konad SN black. Stamped with SN yellow and SN black and used a lot of plates ;)

Pinkie: bat BM13, tree HB33 and cat HB28.

Ring finger: moon M16 (the middle of the button and colored the 4 holes), witch, ghost and pumpkin HB28, cross BM13.

Middle finger: bat C04 (Konad Coraline plate), tree HB33, house BM305.

Index: ghosts HB28, cross M18 (made of the letter T), pumpkin BM305.

Thumb: moon HB012 (part of a christmas ball), witch BM13, small bats HB28, little village HB33.

 

Some images like the pumpkins I first stamped in yellow, colored them in, and then stamped over it in black. Used a dotting tool for the eyes and windows.

 

 Different light.

 

 Before topcoat and before I damaged the pumpkin in the shower :P

 

 Without topcoat.

 

Also some swatches of the gradient base.

 

I love gradients especially holo ones :)

 

A month ago while we were on vacation we lost our oldest pet rat Trouble. And Valley stayed behind very sad and lonely, so when we got back we had to buy some new friends for her. So we got Hope and Faith :) Here you see 3 months old Faith... see wanted to play in the haunted village too ;)

 

 Can I play in the haunted nail village too? Please? It looks like fun.

 

 Let me in!

 

 I'll lick my way in...I want to scare people too...Muawhahaha.

 

 Yummy yummy that ghost tastes funny ;)

 

Let's visit the graveyard.

I know some people are scared of rats, but they really are sooo sweet and smart. Hope I didn't scare any of my followers away by posting rat pics...but to scare people on Halloween is allowed isn't it ;) But really they only give kisses, so no need to be afraid :)

Have a nice Halloween!

Devilish HalloWitty

Hi Everyone,

This week I made another Halloween themed creation. I had so many cute self made decals, that I wanted to use some of those again.

 

So today I'll show you HalloWitty (Hello Kitty in a devilish Halloween costume).

 

Base a shimmer yellow from ETOS (local drugstore brand) it is a a really tiny bottle and you could get those for free in the Summer when you shopped there. Stamped with BM305  and Konad SN red. Self made water decals of Hello Kitty wearing a Halloween costume. First sponged a white dot to make her head white.

 

Also a swatch of the base color. I like this yellow and love mini bottles..glad that I got it for free:)

It had good coverage in 2 coats.

 

I am busy with new Halloween nails for a Halloween party tomorrow. They have to match my outfit. Will show those after the weekend.

 

Enjoy your weekend.

Self Designed Dragon nails..lol :)

Hi Everyone,

Today I have something funny to show you ;) I got creative and made my own images out of other parts of imageplates. I made these for the cool History, Myths and Legends contest of Nat from http://noholos.blogspot.nl/2012/07/stamping-and-freehand-contest.html This was such a challenge for me, since I did not have any stamps for this theme. It supposed be dragons above an old castle wall...lol :) I had so much fun thinking and making this. As you know I always love a great theme and challenge. This is actually my 2nd design I first tested both of them on paper. I will make my 1st design later. The contest is open untill August 10th so you should all enter too :) The contest has lots of prices and different stamping categories.

I had a hard time taking a normal picture because the base was too shimmery and metallic so I don't have one without the paper sorry for that. But I was already happy that I managed to make a picture that wasn't blurry or too light. And also the base colors are color accurate here.

Base is a gradient of Golden Rose Paris Magic color 327 & 328. All stamped with Konad SN black.
Thumb: head M27, body H11, wing BM314, fire out of his mouth H20, sort of castle wall XL B.
Index: dragon fire BM12, sort of castle wall XL B.
Middle finger: head and body HB016, wing BM314, tail BM305, sort of castle wall XL B.
Ring finger: head M27, body BM15, wing BM314, tail BM305, sort of castle wall XL B.
Pinkie: dragons tail BM305, sort of castle wall XL B.

Here some swatches of the gradient base.

You can see how reflecting and shimmery it was with just a bit of light.

A bit blurry.

With flash it totally got lighter.

Have a nice weekend everyone!
