Monsteriffic Manicures

I love creative things that pertain to Halloween....don't you? I mean, it doesn't have to even be something that I personally would wear or make or even own....but if it's creative and done in the spirit of Halloween....then I tend to be a fan on principle alone.   One such clever and creatively artsy Halloween thing is Nail Art!  Just look at the variety of store bought nail art you can buy for Halloween that is much cheaper than having your nails custom painted.  And you can easily photograph your nails and share them online with other Halloween lovers, since we are always on the lookout for cool ways to spread Halloween cheer!


So when I started running across these photos of Halloween Fingernails, I decided to see if there was a way to get Halloween nails if you weren't adept at painting your own nail art.  I have such great respect for anyone who has the patience and wherewithal to maintain long painted fingernails. Especially those talented enough to paint their own and share them with other Halloween Nail enthusiasts!  Sadly however, I am not one of them. I use my hands for everything.....I make a living with them, I take photos with them, I design on a computer all day, I craft things and I clean with them. My hands take far too much abuse, and anything but short nails drive me insane. 

But IF I could get out the door without destroying all that work....I would totally be sporting some of these super cute Halloween Nails.The thing about these tiny little canvases of spooky art, is that they can be bought cheaply at many stores and come in a wide variety of designs perfect for spooky Halloween nails!  So whether you are a Frankie Fan, or a Vampire Vamp....there is a Halloween Nail Art Set made just for you!

These are all so COOL!!! I especially like the black and white ones at the end as well as the Candy Corn Nails (LOL ~ Go Figure!) :0)
I was at a cosmetic store yesterday with my DIL and found a few glue on nails in the Halloween theme. Personally, I'm not a fan of nail polish. But seeing some of the ones you have pictured, could convince me to transform my nails. :0)

I have to show my daughter this when she gets home from scholl. She is a wiz at painting finger nails. Her little sis is going to keep her busy with this.

Like the hand holding the candle, it's more realistically creepy.

Wendy, I don't like to make assumptions, but I'm guessing you'll be with us again for the Countdown to Halloween. Please email me and let me know, and include a link to your blog to make my life easier in adding it to the list of participants, please.

Best,
