HALLOWEEN NAIL ART | Playful Splatter Spider Nails
THIS POST IS IN PARTNERSHIP WITH PUEEN COSMETICS.
Recently, I ordered myself a set of Pueen stamping polishes, many of which I didn't already have in my collection, and I was super excited to use a few of them in this mani. If you're unfamiliar with Pueen stamping polishes, the quality on them is INCREDIBLY good and I continue to be impressed every time I try a new shade. And honestly, what better way to try out some new stamping polishes than to create a paint splatter mani?

For the color story for this mani, I was definitely mostly inspired by the pink and teal stamping polishes, both of which I'd never tried before, and I sort of went from there. Because I really wanted the colors to pop, I decided to go for a soft grey base polish, since I felt like that would not only pop the colors but also feel cohesive with them. I also grabbed for a purple stamping polish as well, because I think the combination of the pink, teal and purple is stunning and feels very non-traditional Halloween!
To start, I applied one coat of my Dimension Nails' Vegan Gains* to all of my nails and let that dry. Like most of the Dimension Nails polishes I've used, one coat is plenty with this polish!
For the stamping, I started with applying the splatters. I moved from the base of the nail to the tip, alternating which side of the nail I placed the splatter so that I ended up with full coverage over the nail. Once the splatters were finished, I brought in the accent stamping. On the outer nails, I used about half of the scattered star image on the inner half of the nail, to give the effect of the design sort of eminating from the center of my hand. On my ring finger, I applied the spider image. And finally, on my middle finger, I applied the spiderweb.
Once I was happy with the design, I sealed it in with a no smudge top coat before finishing with a glossy top coat for shine and volume. And voila!
