My final Halloween mani...a spooky scenery

Hi Everyone,

I have to show you my final Halloween mani. This was also the one I liked best :) (I did also really loved my 3d mummies and the ripped open zebra and bloody nails but those were not really wearable ;)) As you know I love doing sceneries it is one of my favorite stamping styles. I've done Halloween sceneries in the past too will show those too below.

Base Catherine Arley 801, Different Dimension gnarly, Nubar Reclaim and NailNation No Elfing Around. Used HB28 for the small cat, pumpkin, witch ghost (index). Stampaholics ST02 for the men hanging in the tree and the small cemetery on my pinkie. Nailways Darker Period- Halloween for "The Death" on my index finger. Bunny Nails HD-C for the bat on my pinkie and the house on my thumb. HD-D for the cemetery on my ring finger, the small trees, small bats and the ghosts on my thumb. So Happy I got to borrow my sis her Bunny plates :)

Here the sceneries from the past years :) Which one is your favorite? 2012, 2013 or 2014?

Thank you all for reading. Hope you all like my 20+ Halloween mani's. I think I did more then 20 last month 18 for the challenge from BM and like 3 others haha.

Happy Thanksgiving :)

Hi Everyone,

I want to wish all my US readers a Happy Thanksgiving :) So today I have a Fall/Autumn Thanksgiving mani for you all :) I call this another episode from my Children's book :) cause someone once commented on a mani that it reminded her of children's book illustrations :) And with my Fairytale nails I also wrote a little story....the story on my nails lol :) So this time it is a thanksgiving episode in the forest with all kinds of cute animals. I love doing scenery/ landscape nails :)

Base a subtle gradient with Different Dimension Tubular and Born Pretty Store holo no 5. Stamped with Moyou Suki 01 (branches), Moyou Biker 08 (leaves), Moyou Back to the 60's 01 (mushroom), Winstonia W115 (owl), Winstonia W119 (turkey), Bundle Monster BM H11 (pumpkin), HB28 (spider), H21 (squirrel). Using Konad brown, black, white, yellow, green, red, orange, pastel orange and mixed some. From some images I made stamping decals, some I double stamped and the rest is just normal stamping :)

Here a pic of the sublte holo gradient.

I entered these in a Fall/Thanksgiving contest :)

Hope you all have a great thanksgiving for those who celebrate :) The rest hope you all just have a great day too :)

I am really happy with how these turned out.

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!

My Halloween nails from 2011

Hi Everyone,

 

Today I'll show you my Halloween nails from last year. As you know I had a blogging break back then, because of my mom. But I never stopped doing my nails :) I already showed some Fall nails from last year and I also have a lot of Christmas nails from last year ;) But since it is almost Halloween and I am going to a Halloween party saturday, I thought I'll show my Halloween nails from 2011 today. They weren't very special, did not had much time but just wanted to do something that was Halloween themed.

 

Base Catherine Arley 805 a gorgeous black/dark grey holo. Stamped 3/4 of a full nail spiderwebs on it with China Glaze OMG and imageplate HB28. And added some waterdecals of skulls (NOT self made) I got those from ebay.

 

Here you see it without the decals.

 

And ofcourse swatches of this pretty polish.

 

 

 

 A close up :)

 

I really like this holo polish it is the blackest holo I have :)

Thanks for reading.

Black Cats under a Full Moon

Hi lovely readers,

The challenge this Sunday on Adventures in Stamping was Halloween themed, so a perfect excuse for me to make something Halloweenish (is that a word? ;)) A had many ideas and also some cool self made Hello Kitty Halloween decals. But I decided to go for the full moon and black cats. I also really wanted to use one of my franken polishes I made with many polishes and Spectraflair.

Base a blue franken mixed a lot of blue polishes with some Spectraflair. Stamped "the moon" with SN yellow and imageplate HB012 (it actually is a Christmas ball hahaha. The rest I stamped with SN black using HB28, Konad Coraline plates C01, C02, C04, BM13. Made yellow eyes with a dotting tool. And stamped some silver stars with Essence silver stampy polish and M14 (you see the stars better on the picture below).

 Without flash under artificial light.

 And another one.

Also some swatches of my blue franken holo, I put in a really small empty Konad mini stamping polish bottle :)

I have a weakness for blue polishes and I really like this blue :)

Thank you for reading.
