3 Easy Halloween Nail Designs for short nails👻

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays because i get to dress up in cool costumes, but most importantly, I get to wear nail designs. Here are three cute yet easy designs that you can rock for this spooky holiday. I hope you like them, try them on your own nail and share them with me @glanified92 on twitter, Facebook or google+. Here I'll you a detailed list of all the items I used in case you want to know, but you don't need I use these exact items:

Nail design #1: Ghost and Spooky Eyes Nails 
List if items used:
For this nail design I started by painting all of my nails black. I then used one reinforcement circle and cut it with scissors so that I could use it a stencil to create the shape of the ghost. I applied the reinforcement stencil on my ring finger only (after the black base was completely dry) and painted it white. I used a dotting tool dipped in black polish to create the eyes and the mouth. For the rest of the nails, I created spooky eyes by using the dotting tool with white polish and making dots for the eyes. I then used a neon green polish to paint some of the eyes so that they would not all be white. Finally, I added the eye pupils by using the smaller side of the dotting tool with black polish. I finished with a fast drying topcoat (I used seche vite but did not add it in the picture).






Nail design #2: Frankenstein Nails 
List of items used:
This design was the easiest and fastest to do. I started by painting all of my nails with two coats of a green polish. I then did Frankenstein's head only on my ring finger. I started by first doing the hair using a toothpick and black polish. I then used a black striper to draw a horizontal like below the hair line and smaller vertical lines to create a scar. I used a dotting tool to create two white dots for the eyes and black for the pupils. I then used the striper to create the mouth by painting a small horizontal line. For the rest of the nails I just did a horizontal scar near the nail tip using the black striper.



Nail design #3: Candy Corn Nails
List of items used:
The candy corn nails were the most time consuming but I though they came out very cure and look just like real candy corns. I started by painting all of my nails white. I waited until the white was completely dry and then placed a small strip of tape over the nail covering only a few cm below the cuticle line. I painted the nail orange and removed the tape immediately. Again, I waited for the polish to completely dry before adding the second strip of tape, this time below the orange and painting with yellow polish. For the ring finger, I did several tiny candy corns. I used a fine point sharpie to draw a small triangles for the outline of the candy corns. I then used the smallest side of the dotting tool and fist used yellow and orange to fill in the candy corn.


I hope you liked these designs and let me know which is your favorite!
