The thirteen weeks of Halloween are almost over, but not before I’m doing a manicure with visuals from one of my favourite movies ever: Nightmare Before Christmas! Of course, I had to incorporate this into this challenge, even though I don’t think it is a Halloween movie at all. Anyway, any reason to show off some spooky nails is reason enough, right?

Each year on October 10th, we raise awareness for mental health worldwide. This year’s theme is mental health at work, an often overlooked but severely necessary topic. As someone with a history of mental health struggles, days like these hit close to home for me, and I’d like to take some time to raise awareness for it by doing what I love – painting my nails.
And now for something completely different. This year’s Halloween nail arts have been rather modern, kind of ✨aesthetic✨, and not very gore-y or creepy. It just simply suits my style better! However, I do make a big exception for these nails, which is one that I have actually done before. Because when you think of Halloween, you think of blood. And what better way to show that than to put some blood splatter on your nails?
Sometimes old trend die a quick death, never to be seen again. But sometimes, they resurface after a couple of years, hitting a totally new target market. That’s most definitely the case with crackle topcoats! Back in the days, this one got many lacqueristas in a ongoing discussion: is the trend one to love, or to absolutely hate? And in all honesty; even after all these years, I’m still not really certain!
Six weeks to Halloween yet, and seven weeks since I’ve started counting down to it! Today I’m playing around with some recently bought reflective glitter, to make a Halloween-y, yet still kind of elegant look by adding spiderwebs to a pale pink base.
Who says Halloween is only for the glum, dark manicures? It definitely isn’t in my opinion, and in the fifth week of my countdown, I’ll show you my take on how to combine the bewitching spirit of Halloween with some soft pastel hues, to create a spooky yet elegant look.
A few months ago, I’ve heard the news that my favourite stamping plate brand, MoYou London, is currently phasing out their plates. When I was around the nail scene some ten+ years ago, I first came in contact with this brand, quickly becoming my favourite brand to shop image plates at, even when having to order them overseas. Today I’d like to share a manicure with one of my favourite plates, as an hommage to their brand and amazing quality.
One of the biggest perks of the period coming up to Halloween, is rewatching my favourite spooky movies! The movie I always watch around this time, is Practical Magic. It’s just so cozy! Today I’m bringing am hommage to it by creating a nail art with it… including some magic of its own!
Week 3 of Halloween looks is here, and today I have a green, metallic one for you all! Green is a colour that I have a love/hate relationship with: I love how it looks on my skin, but it simply doesn’t spark joy for me very often. For today’s look, however, it’s the showstopper of the look.
For the second look of my Halloween countdown, I opted to go for a simple, contemporary nail art. Nothing spooky this time, but it is witchy! Today I’m showing you my take on the glazed butter nail trend.
