Funky Halloween nacho nail art

Hi everyone! Only one more week till Halloween.

I think this might be my final Halloween nail art.. I didn't do that many this year but I hope that you like at least one of the few nail designs that I did.

This design is one I've been meaning to do since I got into nail art. I love triangles. I have no idea why. When I doodle, I doodle spiraling triangles and squares. I've tried to google for what my doodles mean. Apparently I have a lot on my mind and I'm trying to get somewhere..?

Do you doodle? What do your doodles mean?

I did this Halloween nail art with my nail art brush that's falling apart >< Check out my Halloween triangle nail art:

Taken with flash

Taken indoors

I started with two coats of China Glaze - Exotic Encounters. You can see that the color differs greatly indoors and when taken with flash. The most accurate color I would say is the one taken in indirect sunlight (pictures below). It is not a deep forest green but more of a nice dusty teal.

Next, I used my nail art brush and a random orange polish to create the little nacho triangles. You can see that I just made rough outlines and colored them poorly. I should have filled the patches but I figured the top coat would smooth that out.

I strive for imperfect perfection when it comes to nail art because seriously, if I tried to make all my designs perfect (refer to all those famous nail bloggers), I wouldn't have time to do anything else. It's cool that they have steady hands and great precision and detailing but that's not me.

I drew the black triangles with a black nail art pen which I'm gonna have to throw away soon because it's running outta polish. These two pictures above were taken before I added top coat.

Then I added top coat. The weather was gloomy all week long so I didn't manage to take any outdoor pictures. I wanted to mattify these nails but then I forgot... oops.

And that's it. My funky Halloween nacho nail art. I thought nacho sounded cuter so I went with that instead of, you know, 'triangles'.
Finally. Triangles. I'll probably do these nails again but with a different color combination. They look so fun and edible, right?

What do you think? Do they look Halloween enough? Do you want to see any other geometric designs? I'm all about geometry these days, haha.

Thanks for reading!

Red and blue triangle nail art

Today's nail art is simple and what I like to call: what would have been my 4th of July nails. I must have seen this design on Pinterest - can't really remember where the inspiration came from - but I started out wearing the nails plain.

Taken under yellow lighting

I started out with China Glaze - White on White as my base - I'm really starting to embrace white nails because they're so summery and gorgeous - and then as the tips wore off, I decided that I would sponge on some color so that I could wear the white polish for a little longer.

I got some of my handy tape, cut out two pieces, joined them to form a V shape, stuck it carefully on my nail and sponged on China Glaze - Salsa. I used a makeup sponge and lightly dabbed it on, leaving some white polish visible. Then I sponged on China Glaze - First Mate, again making sure that I did it lightly so that I didn't cover the red and white polish.

Then I peeled off the tape, sealed the design with Seche Vite and admired my nails for a good five minutes.

I really like how these nails turned out. It was fairly simple to do except for the taping part which I am usually quite clumsy with. I like how the red and blue polish blended a little to create some purple-ness.

What do you think?
