Pumpkin gradient-ed claws

Hello pumpkins!

Speaking of pumpkins... Halloween is never complete without at least one pumpkin manicure am I right?! I'm hoping to be able to create one or so more pumpkin manicure before the hallows-eve is upon us ;) 

But let's talk about this one shall we? 

I started off with a base of Wet'n'Wild Black Creme. When that was dry I taped off triangles in the middle of my nail and did one coat of Azature White. Then I sponged a gradient over that using China Glaze Bizarre Blurple and Orange Knockout. I drew the pumpkins on using acrylic paint. A little Poshe top coat and it was finished! 


Look at me getting all creative and stuff with my pictures! ;) 





And here's a bonus 'before' picture right before the pumpkins were painted on :) I love this "claw" look!


What do you think? Do you love Halloween? What's your favorite part??

  1. This is so pretty! I LOVE your gradient :) did you paint the pumpkins on directly to your nail? Or did you paint them on like a ziplock bag and then transfer it over? They are adorable!
