HALLOWEEN NAIL ART: Cute Little Spooky Dudes Nails

by - October 22, 2024


I have a tendency to put off reverse stamping because I convince myself that it's very difficult and will stress me out. Because of this, this mani was one of the first that I conceived when I was planning this year's Halloween nails and is one of the later ones I actually put together on the nails. And, like always, it was much less stressful than I convinced myself it was going to be and the final product is SO worth it.

My idea for the color story for this mani was actually pretty specific and it all started with the little characters. Essentially, in order to create a cohesive design, I decided that I wanted each character to be mostly monochrome in shades of black, white and grey, and then I wanted each one to have a subtle neon pop. To pair with that, I decided to go with a soft speckled sage green shade, which I applied two coats of. 


For the stamping, I first started by creating my decals directly on the stamper head. I filled in the images using a combination of dotting tools and nail art brushes along with black, white, and neon polishes. Once the decals were dry, I applied a thin layer of sticky base coat at the centre of each nail and I let that dry down until it was tacky. I started by applying a full cover spiderweb image using a teal stamping next, then I added the decal at the center of the nail, and finally I added a bat or two to each nail just to fill in the bare space at the edges.

Once I was happy with my design, I sealed it in with a nail art top coat and then finished with a matte top coat to bring down the shine. And voila!
