Fab Friday – Halloween Nails How To
At last, here’s my Halloween nails contribution for CrashingRed. Even though I created a much more flamboyant Halloween nail art for SoNailicious, here I thought I’d share this quick Halloween nails how to that I did last year.
Initially I just wanted to re-create one of an existing beautiful Halloween nail designs (check outthis Halloween Nail Art ideas compilation) but ended up with my own idea. It doesn’t require any nail art skills just two polishes – black and white, sticky tape and a pair of scissors! The result is these cute Halloween nails called “Action Skulls”.
Why “Action”? Scroll down and you’ll see…
HOW TO:
1. Paint a generous layer of white nail polish onto the sticky tape and leave it to dry
2. Apply two coats of black nail polish to your nails. Make sure you leave enough time for this coat to set properly. I used Revlon Blackest Black.
3. Practice drawing the skulls on a piece of paper. Then draw them on the painted sticky tape. Cut them out.
4. Stick the skulls on your thumbs. Stick the chin on your ring fingers. if you couldn’t cut the sculls’ teeth properly (as I did) draw the teeth with the black pen. Apply a clear top coat and enjoy your cute skulls Halloween nails!
What about you ladies, are you celebrating Halloween this year? And… how do you like this “Action Skull” mani? Cute enough?

I ADORE this and am going to steal it. But I wanted to clarify a couple of the steps:
Did you stick them on and leave the tape on there or peel the tape off and the nail polish stayed? Did you draw on the tape on the side the polish was on or the other side? Did you put the polish on the sticky side or the non-sticky side?
Sorry for so many questions!
Love this Maria! The gif was a cute touch.
Thank you all lovelies for your kind words!
@Tamsin – here are the answers:
Put the white polish on the non-sticky side, leave it to dry (while you’re painting your nails)
then draw skulls with a black pen/pencil (don’t use blue like I did – it was my mistake) on the tape on the side the polish was on
then cut them out and stick them on leaving the tape on there
Such cute nails! I like the idea of using tape rather than drawing directly on your nails – much neater that way! :)

Recently I was extremely low on cash and debts were eating me from all sides! That was UNTIL I decided to make money on the internet. I went to surveymoneymaker dot net, and started filling in surveys for cash, and surely I’ve been far more able to pay my bills! I’m so glad, I did this!!! With all the financial stress these years, I really hope all of you will give it a chance. – ibnm
