HALLOWEEN NAIL ART
HALLOWEEN NAIL ART
Halloween is a fun time for everyone. It’s great fun for kids who get to dress up, and then run around with their friends and family visiting other people and getting lots of candy. But it’s fun for adults too. Adults can dress up, and there are always tons of Halloween parties to attend.
While costumes are great, the Halloween spirit goes beyond just the night of Halloween. There are lots of people who enjoy dressing up to show how much they love Halloween, sometimes as early as late September! One great way to show your love of Halloween, without having to wear tee shirts with black cats or earrings of ghosts, is to decorate your nails. Nails allow you to make your statement in a more subtle way and are always great fun to decorate.
To decorate your nails for Halloween, add orange acrylic to the top of the nail and then brush it toward the free edge. Make an off-center V on the free edge using gold acrylic and then apply black acrylic. Make sure that you apply the black over the gold, but leave an even amount of gold showing on either side. Outline the black in gold confetti and then cover with clear acrylic.

Let’s face it; most women greatly enjoy getting professional manicures. Not only do they come out looking flawless, but they can be extremely relaxing. However, one of the biggest downsides to shelling out 15-30 bucks for a manicure is that the color eventually begins to peel and fade. Most of us have experience that horrifying feeling when we scrape our newly manicured nail against a wall, ruining the smooth coating of paint.
There are ways to protect your investment by keeping your nail polish fresh and new looking for a longer period of time. First, nail polish color will become damaged by prolonged exposure to the sun. Therefore, it will be beneficial for your nails (as well as your skin and hair) to avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
One way to preserve your personal bottles of nail polish is to make sure the bottles are shut tight. Leaving the bottle open will expose the polish to air, causing it to dry up. This will make the entire bottle essentially unusable, and you will have to throw it away.
Furthermore, there are brands of nail polish that will last longer than others. When purchasing nail polish, it is important to keep in mind that you get what you pay for. In other words, the more expensive the nail polish, the more durable that polish is going to be after being transferred to your fingernails. There are big differences between qualities of nail polish, and it is likely that you will have to experiment before finding the one that is best suited for you.
