Happy week #2 of Halloween nails! This week's Halloween nail art look is Black Cats! The inspiration was taken from my own Halloween kitty - Mephisto (short for Mephistopheles). My husband is a little geeky and named him after the Lord of Hatred from Diablo; but, it's also a historic demon name, thus I have demon black kitty nails for this week!
Shockingly, the Lord of Hatred could give a shit that I made my nails to look like him, or that this photo would look much better if he would just look at the camera!
I will be the first to admit, this nail art is not my best work! But, it is all freehand and I think it turned out alright. I just enjoy having fun with my nails and perfection isn't a must (although, it is preferred), plus there is no way I have time to re-do them! So, hopefully you can still appreciate the cute design!
All this month for the #CBBxManiMonday we are featuring our take on Halloween nails - make sure you check out Halloween nails from Jayne of Cosmetic Proof, Trysh of Prairie Beauty Love, and Eithne of Tea & Nail Polish - they always have amazing nails!
Black cats are so perfect for Halloween to me and the colours of this nail look really pop! Also, I'm a big fan of purple in Halloween looks and I love how the base purple holographic polish ended up looking for these nails! It really makes the black cats pop and the yellow eyes really stand out!
The products I used for this week's Manicure are:
-Glisten & Glow polish in "First in Line" for the base purple holographic polish
-Wet n Wild polish in Black Creme for the cats
-Colour Club neon yellow polish
-Formula X nail cleanser, base coat, and top coat
Here's how I got this nail look:
1. Nail cleanser and base coat
2. Two coats of base purple polish
3. Using black polish and a nail art brush, create a cat face in the middle of the nail
4. Let dry and using a yellow polish and skinny nail brush, create a cat eye
5. With the black polish and small nail art brush, create a skinny line in the middle of the yellow eye
6. Let dry well and finish with top coat
Are you counting down to Halloween too?! Make sure you check out Cosmetic Proof, Prairie Beauty Love, and Tea & Nail Polish to see their take on "Halloween" for their manis this week!
