stripy halloween nails

This year I seem in a bit more of a halloween spirit than normal. My brother is getting married on Saturday, so my other brother and his family are coming here from Wales. We have decided to have a little impromptu Halloween party for the little’uns although I think I am more excited than them. Thinking about it, this is probably where my excitement is coming from.

I was looking through my nail varnish drawers, when I noticed this nail polish and instantly knew what I was going to do with it. Don’t you just love it when that happens?!

illamasqua gamma

I used Illamasqua ‘gamma’ for the base, which is the most incredible Orange shade that I have ever seen. Usually I use striping tape to create sharp lines and designs, but this time I decided to use black and keep that as part of the design. I think these are nice and simple but not too OTT if you don’t want an extreme Halloween design.

    I've never tried an Illamasqua nail varnish before, but Gamma looks incredible! Also, I nominated you for The Versatile Blogger Award, I hope you get time to take part!
