When I first saw the sneak peeks of the Uberchic Beauty Halloween 07 Stamping Plate, I knew two things. First, I knew that I would be picking it up and using the crap out of it, obviously. And second, I knew that I would be doing this exact mani with these exact polishes in this exact layout. It's a pretty simple, straight forward design without any bells and whistles, but I absolutely love how it turned out and I felt like it was the perfect mani to post for actual Halloween. Sometimes I have to remind myself that you can get really great nail art without having to throw the kitchen sink at it, and I think this mani is definitely evidence of that.

Honestly, you guys, the fact that we've gotten to the penultimate mani in 31 days of Halloween nail art designs is basically blowing my mind right now - especially since I'm still excited about the different designs I've been able to do. I was actually surprised when I realized that I'd never done bloody handprint nail art, but obviously I needed to remedy that so I kept it really simple and put together this quick and easy mani, perfectly for last minute!

I very sincerely can't believe that we're already coming to the end of this marathon of Halloween nails. And honestly, I don't really know how I managed to even do it - I'm pretty proud of myself for actually finishing. For today's mani, it's all about the cuteness. When I first saw the product photos for the Uberchic Halloween 07 stamping plate, I knew that I would be doing something with the adorable little Halloween character images, but I wasn't quite sure what. In the end, I leaned on a trick or treating theme and brought it another stamping plate to pair with that one, and I love the way it turned out.

When I was planning out the mani's I wanted to do this month - trust me, 31 days of Halloween themed nail art takes A LOT of planning - I knew that I wanted to do a design like this one with the sort of... gradient bats design with black at the tip. Luckily, the Uberchic Beauty Halloween 07 Stamping Plate, which was their 2021 Halloween plate, has the perfect image for this design. I went back and forth on a few different options for the background, but I ultimately settled on this stunning red holo base and even though the photos do not do the in person mani justict I'm standing by it.

I really did just get insanely excited to have ordered Uberchic Beauty's 2021 Halloween themed plate and I couldn't wait to get my hands on it - so much so that by the time Canada Post got their act together and got it to me I already had at least a dozen loose ideas and a handful of firm ones on how I was going to use it. Today's mani is one that was definitely a little bit both loose and firm in that I knew I was going to do a full mani using this particular image but I just wasn't quite sure how I was going to it. That's one of my favorite things about nail art. You start with the sort of loose idea of a design and then you have to dig into the details.

Clearly as I've been going through this Halloween nail design process, I've spent a lot of time thinking about Halloween colours and my favorite ways to pair them. Obviously black goes with everything - just ask the state of my stamping polishes that I've been reaching for pretty much constantly - but one of my personal favorite pairings is this sort of witchy Halloween purple with black. When I sat down to use the stamping image that I used for this plate I just knew that I wanted to employ that pairing but I wasn't immediately certain HOW I wanted to do it.
