Halloween - an excuse for nail art

Halloween, a yearly festival celebrated on 31 October, more commonly in North America, is one that hasn't completely transferred across to Australia and New Zealand.  Sure, we have seen American movies/TV shows (for quite some time now) on which children and adults alike dress up as various scary characters.  As a result (and with just a little bit of unashamed commercialism) cheap costumes and associated paraphernalia are becoming more readily available, not just to buy online, but also available in local stores.


My recent purchases of (glow in the dark) fake fingers and nails (LOL) and Glow in the Dark Lip Stick and Nail Polish are proof that the merchandise is definitely out there to be bought at this time of year, however, we just don't seem to dig it as much down under as they do "up over".




Nevertheless, putting all of that aside, surely, at the very least, it's an excuse to break out the Halloween nail art?  Good enough for me!


I think I've mentioned previously that I'm really crap at nail at.  Very very crap at it.  But as my Dad used to tell me, practice makes perfect (or was that my childhood Bullfrogs & Butterflies LP?).


Inspired by the endless Halloween nail art pictures and tutorials on line, I thought I'd try some out.  Stay tuned for the results!
