Halloween - Cute monsters

I'm really excited for Halloween!

Halloween's origin date back to the 10th centure and started here in Ireland!

Dracula was character created by the Irish writer Bram Stoker and I was really inspired...


The idea was to use a lots of monsters or scary creatures! 
We have a witch's cat, a pumpking, Frankenstein, Dracula and a ghost.

This designs are not difficult but since there are lots of details you have pay attention!


Nail polish colors: white, light green, black, yellow, green, purple with glitter, orange, blood red, gray.

I have used white acrylic paint for some details, but you can also use the white nail polish.

I have also used two brushes and a nail dotter pen, but whatever you use it's up to you!

You can choose other colors and remember...these guys are monsters!

Give it a try and go trick or treating!

Ombre Jaguar or Oncinha light!!!

I am from Brazil baby and I chose this design thinking about the Amazon!!!

In the Amazon there's a feline called 'Onça pintada'. Its fur has a beautiful design and this animal is a symbol of the Brazilian fauna!



What a strong and beautiful feline!
I didn't use the original animal colors and I liked the result!


Nail polish colors: Orange fluor, pink (skin shade), yellow, brown and top coat. 

I used a sponge to create the gradient, small golden papers for detailing on one finger and the nail dotter pen.

First paint the pink coat (skin shade).

The sponge technique is simple: Put the nail polish in a small plastic container, dip the sponge in and take off the excess. Pad it to the nail. You'll notice the nailtip is not perfect, but you can fix it with the yellow nail polish, just like in a french manicure.

And then you can make the details, and it's very easy... In one finger I added 3 pieces of golden paper to give it extra shine.

The result is amazing! Give it a try!

Mooooo pedicure!

I loved this design! It's so cute...

I always give the proper credit when a nail design is not mine, because you can see loads of ideas online.

This design is by professional IDQ and I sa it on Youtube haha...Youtube is great!

So I tried it on my toenails:


I liked the result!


It's one of the best channels I have ever seen!


The materials: white, bright pink and black nail polish; crystal stones and my dotter pen! And the top coat!
It's an easy design to make and the most difficult part is to properly paint the white nail polis - You'll need a good one!

Very easy... and you can add some crystal stones wherever you want! Give it try!

Ireland!

This nail design is special because there is a story behind it...


I create this design because I moved to Dublin, Ireland and I used the Irish flag colors.


Materials: 3 nail polishes - green, orange and white. I also used some crystal stones in green and orange, and one green detail (I don't really know the name) and I use a dotter pen.


This design is easy to make and don't forget a really good top coat!

Give it a try!

Cats in the sky

This design is not mine and the original idea I saw on Youtube.

I like the design so much, which is actually a sticker, but because I didn't have it I decided to make some alterations.



This is a printscreen from Youtube - art by Meliney.

The cats are a little bigger and I also added some pink hearts.


Materials: 3 nail polish colors, white acrylic paint and different size brushes.

In my opinion this design is a little difficult to do, especially on my right hand but the result is pretty!
Don't forget to add a really good top coat!

Give it a try!
