Halloween Nails 5: Pumpkins

What says "Happy Halloween" better than a well cut jack o' lantern?pumpkins are a bright and cheery alternative to some of my darker Halloween nail art looks. Plus this one I'm about to show you here is very simple to do too!

To paint my pumpkins I used the following:

Rimmel London - 705 Tangy Tangerine

Rimmel London Nail Tip Whitener

GOSH - 12 Orange Splash

New York Colour -  298 High Line Green

Striper Brush/ Cocktail Sticks

Now for the painting!

1. Use a base coat to protect your nails from staining. Paint your nails white. This could use a couple of coats before it gets nice and streak-free, the way we want it.

2. Take your orange polish and paint a semi circle art the tip of your nail. This will be the top of your pumpkin.

3. Take your striper brush and dip it in your green polish. Paint a small stem growing from the top of your pumpkin.

4. Taking your striper brush again dip it in light orange. Use this to give some highlighting to your pumpkin, making it look a little less flat.

5. Use a topcoat to protect your nails from chipping. Clean up any messy bits with a cotton bud dipped in nail polish remover.

There you have it! Pumpkin nails for Halloween.
