NOTD: Halloween Vampy Manicure

Hello!

At the moment my nails would be Halloween appropriate on their own, broken and bruised :D Since I started my job at the beginning of this month my hands have taken a bit of a beating. All the breakage details go on my Instagram or Facebook page so check them out if you're feeling sadistic.

But Halloween is my favorite holiday so I had to do a themed mani. This year I teamed up with the talented Katja from Nail2Express. Thanks again Katja for considering me, I'm truly flattered <3
Katja decided to go for black and gold theme (go check her mani here) and I went with a vampy theme.

For the base I used Essence Take my Red Away form Legends of the sky trend edition. Gradient was made with L'Oreal Laetitia and Essence Black is Back. For the damask stamp I used my fave stamping plate MoYou Fashionista 07 and Konad Black.

I'm most proud of my middle finger :D This was my first attempt with acrylic paint and free-hand drawing. It's not perfect but I think it still looks good. I am currently still wearing this mani but it won't last on me 'til Halloween. I will probably do the same mani as last year, quick and easy (click)
