As part of Chalkboard’s 31 day nail challenge I’ve got a funky halloween halfmoon design for you!
Now that fall is here I’ve been DYING to do some autumnal nail art- especially for halloween!! Weeeee!! I love halloween… and my blog is a great way for me to showcase my holiday spirit! Halloween is all about orange and black, but my fave combo for the holiday is actually green and purple. This mani is kinda crazy looking and perhaps a little fugly, but I don’t care! I’ll wear pretty much anything on these nails- and I’ll love it too! lol
What I’m wearing:
♥ one coat of Nailtiques #2
♥ two coats of Essence lime green called L.O.L.
♥ one coat of seche vite to make the green dry quickly
♥ then I used painters tape to create the crescent/halfmoon line
♥ then I applied one coat of Milani TEXTURE in Purple Streak and then peeled the tape off
This mani was quick and easy!!
Would you wear nails like these, or is the color scheme a little too ‘out there’ for you?

I like it!! I’m super psyched about Autumn/Halloween nail art too! 😀
You too? cool! I’ve been brainstorming a lot for halloweenie designs 🙂
Wow, this mani is sooo cool!!! It’s crazy, but in a good way 😀 Textured polishes are great for nail art!
thanks!! i love textures too…. i hope the trend doesn’t go away 🙂
love the colors!!
thanks Doll! hehe
Just lovely, love the texture combination!

Thanks ladies!!!!!!! I just read your post 🙂
Crazy combo, nice to see I’m not the only one who still enjoys a bright neon mani 🙂
Thanks Marthe! I think we have the same taste in nail art 🙂
Oh my gosh, that green is so bright! When I first saw that and “halloween” I thought you cracked open a glow stick or something 😀
LOL!
oh wait, maybe that’s why essence named it L.O.L. ! it’s just so darn bright it makes ya smile! hehe
i love the green, and the combo to, i would definitely wear this
thank you! glad you like it too !
Gurl, those colors are FESTIVE! Love it.
Did you trim your painters tape into a curve/moon shape before you applied it? I’ve been trying to perfect my moon mani, might have to try this out.
nope- i just use straight tape. but i tug up on the tape on both sides of my nail….that way the line has a curve. does that make sense? it was actually quicker than nail guide stickers. when i apply those i feel like i need to re-do the placement a zillion times to get it right.
Those are such bold, fun nails. I love the contrast in textures too!
Hey Alexis! Thanks so much!
Ditto on the Halloween comment. I didn’t get to celebrate it much as a kid and now as a adult I got all out. Love the color combo can’t wait to do some festive mani’s
