Ghoul morning my friends. (Ha!)
Today’s nail art is the last I have to showcase for you during this glorious month of Halloween. Sadness, I know.
Enter Zombie Nails:
For the base, I started with a black creme (China Glaze Liquid Leather). Then, I sponged on a gray creme (Pure Ice Kiss Me Here).
Next, I lightly sponged on a combination of Pure Ice’s Wild Thing (almost a chartreuse green) and Wet ‘n Wild’s Fantasy Makers Night Glow (glow in the dark) to mimic putrescence. Did y’all know that putrescence kind of glows in the dark? There’s a tip from me to you.
At this point, I had some pretty gruesome-looking nails. But I wanted to add something to really make this stand out. So I added some dripping blood using Fright Night’s Claw Polish in Bloodshed. Then, I coated it with Matte Magic to make it look like old, dried blood.
And then, I wound up dinging one of my nails. Instead of being cheesed off, I thought: Holy balls, Batman! It looks like layers of my nail are coming off. I love it! So I dinged up the rest of my nails to look like that.
So there you have it. LoL.
Enjoy!
P.S. I think these would be more effective if I had used some Halloween makeup to paint my hands a gruesome blackened gray. But I didn’t have any handy.



Haa haaa! When has anyone dinged up their nails for the sake of art! Very cool look and idea. I so would have worn these out shopping. LOL
LOL. Oh, I was traumatized when I first did it. I love these.
Dinging up your nails makes it look so gnarly and dirty…..going with the theme!
Yeah… it was pretty gross looking. And awesome. LOL
you did it! you did what I wanted too do zombie nails! I couldn’t for the life of me think of how to do it. I say you did awesome with it! I love it.
There’s plenty of time left! Go make yourself some zombie nails.
