As I’m typing, I’m in good company. There’s a Halloween presence with me and I’m its master. I created these four little pumpkins for this Halloween-inspired manicure.
This Halloween nail art idea is 100% free-hand painted and quite silly. Decorate your nails with my chatty pumpkins.
Each pumpkin has a different face, it looks like they’re chatting and screaming… index pumpkin is the first I painted and is the bastard of the gang. Fast brush strokes created an undefined effect that I totally love and find appropriate.
How to create a pumpkin nail art
I painted all my fingers with two coats of Avon Speed Dry+ Art Orange (you can pick any orange and any nail polish you have to recreate this Halloween mani), the perfect pumpkin orange! Over this pumpkin base, I layered Art Orange, Avon nailwear pro+ Lemon Sugar and Noir Emerald by lightening them first with a drop of the white nail polish (Avon Nail Expert French Manicure kit). I painted some random stripes with a fan brush and the Avon double-end nail art brush because pumpkins have variegated skin and I wanted mine to be so.
Pumpkins’ faces are made with the same white nail polish, Yamamay beauty #24 black nail lacquer, a smaller detail brush and two different dotting tools. I decorated my thumb just with pale orange vertical lines, I had enough of faces.
I sealed this nail art with two coats of Kiko Quick Dry clear nail lacquer to achieve an extremely glossy effect.
Ok, this Halloween nail art isn’t spooky but very satisfying!
Have a fun, chocoholic Halloween.
