Hi everyone! It's almost Halloween! It's Day 10 of my 13 Days of Halloween Nail Art Series and I'm doing witch themed nails. I wanted to attempt some free-hand creepy witch art, and decided to do a funky green glow-in-the-dark background with a monochromatic foreground! I entered this one into the It's So Easy Halloween Nail Art Contest!
The base of this manicure, though you can't really see too much of it, is China Glaze Electric Pineapple. I love this color...so funky. I used a variety of green polishes to sponge on a cool gradient background: Priti NYC Slenderlady Palm, China Glaze GaGa For Green, Essie Mojito Madness, and China Glaze I'm With The Life Guard. Once I was done with the sponging, I applied Julep Sofia to my nails! This smoothed out the gradient nicely and added a nice glitter! And as you all now know, Sofia glows-in-the-dark! I then use my It's So Easy Stripe Rite black to do the details and finished it off with Out the Door top coat!
I love how this turned out! A month or two ago I never would have attempted this sort of look, but I'm really enjoying it! All it takes is practice and a bit of confidence! Julep Sofia really made the manicure fun...you can see my original Sofia post [here]! It was really hard to take a picture of, but Sofia definitely glows-in-the-dark and the design shows up! AMAZING!!! Here's the best I could do...
So what do you think? Do you like my witches and glow in the dark look? I hope you're enjoying the 13 Days of Halloween Nail Art Series so far! <3 Thanks for reading and for all of your comments!

ReplyDeleteLove this Emily, it sort of reminds me of the Meg and Mog books for kids, not sure if you ever read them, with the witches, Jess, Tess, Bess etc!!!
ReplyDeleteI am so excited that you used Sopia for your Halloween mani. How long did it take you to come up with this design? And how much is done freehand?
