I hope that you all had a spooktacular Hallowe’en yesterday and experimented with playful nail art!
This is what I painted freehand and sported on Hallowe’en: Ghost Nail Art featuring these four nail polishes:
- OPI Infinite Shine Purpletual Emotion
- Essie Roarrrrange
- Pretty Serious Presence
- Pretty Serious Absence
Ever since last year, I’ve been wanting to paint this design, so I probably will be wearing it for the next few days.
It was really fast and easy to do – makes me smile when I see the little ghosts with their arms up in the air trying their best to scare me. Hehe, nope – not menacing at all!
It’ll be sad when the ghosts meet their maker and the acetone-remover-soaked cotton ball approaches them, sealing their fate.
Now that I think about it, maybe that’s why they’re screaming. They aren’t trying to frighten me. They’re pleading, “Noooooo! Don’t remove us from your nails!” Yeah – it’s totally normal to have these thoughts running through your head. (Hehe – nailphiles understand!) 😉
P.S. If you’re Canadian, be sure to check out my Hard Candy Nail-Polish Giveaway for 12 shades! (Submit your entry by November 13, 2015 at 11:59 pm EST.)

Hope you enjoyed my fun little freehand ghosts! Even though they’re not perfect, I am thrilled with how they turned out because seeing their little faces makes me smile. (As I keep harping on here, happiness is far more important than perfection.)
What did you wear on your nails for Hallowe’en? Are you still celebrating the festivities today? How long do you plan to wear your Hallowe’en nail art?
