I'm back with another Halloweeny nail art courtesy of the Challenge Your Nail Art Halloween linkup. Today's prompt is the classic Pumpkin Face, so I've created a bevy of handful of wacky jack-o-lanterns for you!
I was actually kind of surprised how quickly these all came together, using only a handful of polishes. For some reason I expected them to be harder?

Unsurprisingly, I used an orange base color on all nails. In this instance, it was Paprika. For my accent nail, I topped that with a coat of Revelry, which has the perfect mix of sparkly orange and silver glitters. On all the other nails, used a striping brush to add curving lines of Chop-Sticking To My Story from cuticle to free edge, to make them look a bit more pumpkin-y. I drew in the character faces in Yellow with a detail brush, popped on some Cardamom stems at the top, and finally outlined the mouths and added teeth in Chop-Sticking as well. When I was finished, I added a matte topcoat, and then went back over the face details in Ghostly Glow so what the faces would glow in the dark.
Unfortunately I still can't figure out how to make my camera grab GITD pics, but I promise I will practice a bit, because these were pretty cool in the dark! They're perhaps a bit orthodox and this sort of nail art has been done many many times over, but this was a first for me so I was pleased. Hope you enjoyed them as well.
