The Nail Art Guild: Zombies

Hello lovelies!

It's Friday. Woo! My "I think I'm getting sick" from yesterday has turned into "yep, I'm definitely sick, please let me sleep." Meh! I also need to get caught up on some nail painting as I've been slacking!

Anyways, onto the nails!

Zombies can be cute, right?

Here's what I used:

I've been trying to use more nail polish in my nail art lately instead of just one color and a bunch of acrylic paint. Sometimes I worry that things get too complicated and it might turn people away from reading? Maybe, I don't know, that might just be me....anyways, my zombies were inspired by this super cute zombie dolls!

These nails started with two coats of Nyssa. When that had dried a little bit, I took a toothbrush and used it to dab some of the red polish around for my base. Then using one of my detail brushes, I painted on the little zombie dudes! The details were done with acrylic paint and everything was sealed in with a layer of HK Girl.

I thought these little dudes were pretty fun! Halloween nail art is weird for me because I'm always in awe when I see someone create those super realistic, gory nails but I know that's never something that I would do myself. So, I thought these dudes were probably the cutest I could get for today's zombie theme. Hopefully, you guys like them!

Thanks for reading guys!
