Hi Everyone, I've got some more Halloween ideas for you today
But a little bit more extreme than usual
Halloween only comes around once a year so it's okay to go abit cray cray with our nails
So without damaging our nails with acrylics or nail glues, I'm gonna show you some fun Halloween nail designs using fake nails
why? Becuase first of all my nails will never ever grow to that length and second, even if some how they did, I don't want to chop them off into pieces for a 1 day event
So Fake nails is the way to go
I have a few designs for you today, you can wear them as a set, or choose your favourite design and apply it to all your nails
I even came up with a background story for your enjoyment. So Watch till the end of this video if you want to hear their story
So fake nails usually comes in a range of sizes, You can find these ones from My website. They come in white and clear
Go through the bags and find ones that comfortably fits on top of your nail bed and use nail files to help sculpt it into the shape that you want
for this first set of nails, I'm just going to file down the corners from each side
and that will give me a very pointy nail shape which will go perfectly with Witches, shedevils, catwoman or ishuyasha costumes
You know what else its good for, a self defence weapon against the other trick or treaters
Once you've crafted the nails for all your fingers. Use some double sided nail stickers to secure them onto the nail
Pick a size that's close to your nail size and press it on
peel off the backing paper and stick on the fake nails
these double sided nail stickers have a strong bond yet it is flexible unlike nail glues
It can secure the nail for upto 2-3 days, without damaging your natural nails
They can be easily taken off by soaking in hot water. So no chemicals needed
You can leave it as it is or paint on a coat of nail polish to give it some color or to match your costumes
Next I'm going to craft the nail into the shape of a coffin
Use nail clippers to cut the corners off the nail
next use the filer to smooth out the edges
Then file the side of the nail at an angle so the bottom side of the nail is slightly narrower to create the shape of the coffin
Be careful not to file your actual nails in the process. Learn from my mistakes. Just cos it doesn't hurt doesn't mean it won't leave a mark
Once you're done, Grab your practice finger or anything small to hold the fake nail
I used some yellow tac to secure the nail so it doesn't move around and holding the jar with my other hand so I can freely turn it in different angles to paint with my right hand
To decorate the coffin, apply a coat of black nail polish as the base color.
Then use the smallest dotting tool or a toothpick and place dots all around the coffin
Finally draw in a simple cross in the middle with a detail brush and you have yourself a coffin shaped nail design
I think it looks out of this world normally we would not be able to do weird shapes like this with our natural nails but for Halloween we can do anything and people will think its cool
Well at least I do
Next i'm going to show you how to do a batman design
Use the nail clippers again and cut a square shape from the top of the fake nails
make 2 cuts going down the nail then a horizontal cut in the middle
remove the piece and use the nail file to smooth out any rough edges and we have ourselves a batman mask
Add a coat of black nail polish as the base color
wait for that to dry then use a beige skintone color to fill in the mouth area
Use dotting tool or a detail brush to draw in some rectangle eyes.
And that's it. Super easy batman nails
Okay so after I did those 3 fake nail designs, I thought how can I make them into a set of nails?
batman doesn't really go with coffins. So I thought up 2 more nail designs and came up with a background story
Start with a coat of green nail polish as the base color then draw in some opening woulds with a red polish
any long shape will do as long as the ends are narrower than the middle
It can go any direction. I fitted 3 on my nails
then use a black polish and draw in the stitches over the wounds
You can mix it up with diagonal lines, v lines or cris crosses
is design is really not that hard to achieve so give it a try
Then finally I tried to set up batman with his new bride
ok so here's the goss. Don't tell anyone okay?
Apparently catwoman sank her clause into batman and he got all messed up
now he has all these scratch marks on his face and all over his body and he just like became really self conscious and wouldn't go anywhere without his mask
Then one day he went to a Halloween party and hooked up with his new bride
When He saw all those scratch marks and stitched up wounds, it was love at first site. So they decided to get hitched
It's a second marriage for her though, she and her ex Frankenstein didn't really workout. So that was that
so now they are happily married and both live in a coffin
I guess it's The second best dark resting place to an underground secret cave
Sure he made some sacrifices for the one he loves. I hope he doesn't get claustrophobic
And they lived happily ever after. The end.
